I don't think tzioni is a category of it's own. Most posters here are tzionim, unless you refer to a specific group I am unaware of.

Out of town is usually the answer to people feeling out of the box.

I really don't think that would be necessary. I am Breslov, so I choose chassidish. Weve had this discussion before about breslov and lubavich being chassidish. We arent any less chassidish than any other type. You're getting into dangerous ground when you start separating like that.

I posted Chasidish, and I'm Lubavitch, Breslov is Chasidish too. There are different kind of Chasidish sects. I was wondering in what way is litvish different from Yeshivish?

I'm breslov too. It's a different lifestyle than Rebbish chassidish, which is probably what she's referring to. If there's separate categories for litvish vs yeshivish and for mizrachi vs tzioni there should be an option for breslov and lubavitch.

I wrote other because I feel like I don't fit any of those choices. I am "Heimishe" as in my background is chasidishe, Europe (as opposed to being of litvish background) but we are not practicing chassidim, nor were my grandparents though we are "rebbeshe kind".
Right now- I'm just plain frum. Orthodox.

I dont seem to fit into any category. I guess I am just plain frum, or just plain orthodox, or just plain 'G-d fearing' (or tryng to be G-d fearing at least...)
I think we would all be so much happier if we all accepted each other without labelling all the time...

when I grew up there were fewer labels somehow (and I am only mid thirties)...
