I really think I’m asexual. I’ve been wondering about it for years but i’m pretty sure of it now. I’m almost 21 and have never had any desire to have kiss anyone, let alone have sex, and other than harmless innocent celebrity crushes I’ve never had a crush on anyone, male or female. I don’t check guys out when i go out nor do i stalk them on facebook, insta, twitter, etc. I see couples holding hands or kissing in public and don’t feel jealous at all. I’m very unattractive to say the least so avoiding relationships will never be an issue for me but i just wish asexuality was more talked about and recognised so that i wouldn’t feel so alone. I just wish I could talk to someone who’s going through the same things and who could give me advice on how to deal with being asexual and how to tell people about it without creeping them out

always difficult for me

i wonder how aromantic people deal with loneliness

not just, you know, the standard loneliness where you feel like you need someone’s company

but the inherent “emptiness” associated with not being understood by a lot of people, or always never being first in your friends’ minds because they don’t see your friendship as better than their romantic relationships.

the loneliness associated with the general stigma against “not being able to feel anything”, not being able to fall in love and get married, not really, not like how others would want to experience some day.

of wanting people to just understand and acknowledge that you exist, that how you think and feel is valid, and you’re not any less of a person and should not be valued less just because you can’t feel the same way most people do.

that you need relationships too, and companionship, and to be loved. just not in the way most people feel, but that doesn’t make it any less of a need.

i wonder how aromantics are supposed to deal with all of this, honestly.

This guy. He is my example. He is the pretty. I met this beautiful human in person and all I wanted to do was stare at him and talk football.

As an asexual, it’s really hard to describe someone you find pretty. Normal people would think of that as “oh then you must be attracted to them”

But really I just find the person aesthetically pleasing. Like, if I could, I would take that person (and possibly their personality) and hang them on the wall. Just so I can look at the pretty and then continue about my day.

Does that make sense to anyone?

squeezy-cheez The greatest factor for me has been the consistency of my experience. I spent years deeply confused about what I was feeling. At first I thought I was a late bloomer. Then I thought I was homosexual, because I think a lot of women are beautiful. Then I thought I was straight, because men are gorgeous. But during conversations about sex I was firmly not interested. I've repeated my disinterest over and over again in conversations and journaling through the years. And this was long before I knew and used the term asexual. I was talking with my cousin over coffee one night. We were discussing her new boyfriend and so forth. I confessed that I was a virgin; she was a little shocked and asked why. I told her I wasn't interested. She said that maybe I was asexual, it was something that had come up in her human sexuality course. I remember the next day I sat down and researched asexuality. I cried. No label has ever given me so much relief. This thing I was internally agonizing over for years had a name. I don't really think about sex on my own, the subject typically has to be brought to my attention. When the conversation does get going I feel so abnormal and uncomfortable. I feel broken almost every time. I struggle all the time with who I am. I worried, like you, that I was making it all up in my head. But the history of my experience is there. And most importantly, when I identified as asexual nothing about my experiencs changed, except that nowadays I am on average happier.
