Sadly, labels and social hierarchy are a significant part of the human species and will likely never go away. I've been fairly able to avoid it affecting me, but I'm a very withdrawn person who usually avoids people and doesn't participate in social media beyond a few forums such as this. Even still, I know I'm being/been labeled by someone somewhere. It doesn't bother me because I won't let it.
Any advice I could give you, Vyce, would be derived from my own experiences and probably won't reflect your own and would therefore be useless to you. Perhaps the best advice you could get would come from Tyrion Lannister: "Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."
