/u/Stockso on My Thoughts On Coming Out Asexual

I only came out about a week ago (it sounds wrong to me) to a family that was supposed to or progressive. They said that I feel this way due to my OCD. They are not religious, they are not conservative, they just don't think it's really. In today's world things change so fast some people don't even notice, it sound like you were one of them as were your family. Finally realising it to yourself may just be the best feeling ever. I was smiling for weeks and have now ordered an Ace flag to go into my room. June 20, 2020 at 11:56PM

/u/1nocturnalsonofagun on How do you deal with that nasty little feeling that you don't belong anywhere and in reality are just broken?

While I haven’t been told that I’m mentally ill based on me being different, I relate to your post quite a bit. Even though I have found this amazing community, some of the doubts remain and make it hard to admit to myself that I’m probably ace and reinforce this feeling of being broken and alone. It’s really scary and I’m sorry that you go through that as well. I have not yet found a way to let those thoughts disappear permanently but there are a few thing that help me feel better if the voices are getting too loud. Interaction with others on this subreddit and also in the Chatroom on here is definitely the greatest support for me. Even if I don’t comment on others posts, just seeing and grasping that there are other people like me out there, a welcoming, supportive community, already helps a lot. I’ve a at least a virtual place I belong to, where my experiences are seen as what they are, where I’m reminded that my feelings are valid, that I’m not broken. The wiki here is also...

/u/GreenLuma on I finally got an ace ring!

Oh my gosh, I ordered the same ring, color and all last week! Happy to see it looks really nice in person 💜 June 20, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/discipula26 on I believe I am on the asexual spectrum but I am struggling to feel valid calling myself asexual

Your first sentence is really the only one needed to determine if you’re asexual or not. No sexual attraction = asexual; the rest is irrelevant. Maybe one day you’ll feel sexual attraction and learn you’re demi or something else, but for right now it sounds like you’re ace. June 20, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/EggIsMyFriend on If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a platypus with bronchitis and should really just leave and stop invading ace spaces and appropriating their experiences. Or, wtf is attraction...I'm probably not ace/grey but wtf AM I? Cause I don't fit at all anywhere?

Sex-repulsed/averse doesn't necessarily mean you think sex is gross, just that you don't want to have it. Well, I guess I could be a sex-repulsed allosexual then. So, that's back on the table, and probably the most likely explanation. June 20, 2020 at 11:43PM

/u/AT-TE-212 on Denied by my parents

I'm sorry about your dad. My case is similar to but its my mom who is the more toxic one. She told me if I was in a pride parade or something she would disown me and kick me out of the house. I hope for the best my friend. June 20, 2020 at 11:40PM

/u/crazyorchidlady22 on How do you deal with that nasty little feeling that you don't belong anywhere and in reality are just broken?

I feel you. For me, that feeling will always be there. However, we can’t control the fact that we were born asexual just like how LGBTQ people can’t control their sexuality. You know, many people call gays mentally ill too. If you’re in the minority (being ace) you need to grow a thicker skin because people won’t stop being assholes. I think to myself that self-pity won’t solve anything, so I shouldn’t pay these people any mind (I know easier said than done). Try to surround yourself with people who respect you and phase out the haters. As aces we will always be a controversial minority, but we have a right to exist like everybody else. If they don’t respect you they’re not worth your time. If they’re not my friend or family I couldn’t give a rat’s ass what their thinking in their little heads. If you have doubts about if you’re ace or not maybe you need more time to find yourself and maybe try dating people ace or allo. But it should be if you doubt yourself and not because other ...

/u/RedemptionHollyleaf on I love allosexuals, I just can't cope with annoying people

People think I’m super “innocent” because of this, but, in reality, I knew everything about what they meant. June 20, 2020 at 11:24PM

/u/eluntyx on Asexuality Isn't A Political Thing

Pretty mind boggling. Most conservative Christians hate you, so why would you join them June 20, 2020 at 11:24PM

/u/Berzerker-SDMF on Asexuality Isn't A Political Thing

This is news to me... I can kinda see why the wider LGBT community gets vocal in politics simply because certain elements of politics seam to target them for discrimination. But this is where I think lack or representation serves us well... We go under the radar in that respect so we mostly avoid the attentions of more, how shall I say it.... More evangelical politicians.... June 20, 2020 at 11:19PM

Kind of sexist, if you ask me (does this fit?)

Marriage and Family Gatherings

Hello fellow couples. My fiancé and I seem to have our differences when it comes to family gatherings and socializing. I enjoy being around family. Growing up Mexican, familism is huge so gatherings come often. Of course, I didn’t go to all of them but I enjoyed going to several. Now with the merging of two families, I’ve pushed my fiancé to interact more with his family. He’s not very big about hanging out with families (including his), which leads to disagreements when deciding whether to go or not. He don’t expect him to change his mind all of a sudden, but it sure would be nice to suggest going to a gathering without seeing a look of dread. Any couples experience something similar?
