/u/Mawngee on So, I accidentally told my parents I am ace

There is the saying "change what you can control, accept what you cannot." The acceptance isn't that you have to accept their opinion, but accept that you can't necessarily change it. If you can try to temper how you receive feedback from others, you won't feel hurt as bad if you don't like what they say. Self reflection is what works for me. Try thinking about what you want, and what you need to do to achieve what you want, and be honest with yourself. You can't control what other people think/say, so try to base your acceptance of yourself internally, rather than through outside forces. All of what I said is easier said than practiced, and it's an ongoing process. As to the classic lines, you can definitely know if you are ace by your age. Looking back I can see signs in myself going back even earlier. October 01, 2020 at 11:58PM

They're usually hilariously threatened when they find out I've slept with more people than they have. It took a lot of experimentation to get to where I am! October 01, 2020 at 11:56PM

/u/Dramarella on Conflicting feelings after visiting the Ob-Gyn

Please, don‘t be scared. Yes, my reaction is quite emotional, but in general, my experience with Ob-Gyns is good :) They won‘t look down there, if you don‘t give them consent. If you have any pain or discomfort, please go to one and just talk about it. The first time I went , she did a abdominal ultrasonography, just to check my uterus. I stayed fully clothed and she just used the transducer on my stomach :) My reaction this time was a combination of many factors, but that doesn‘t mean, that your experience will be similar ☺️ October 01, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/gEoRgEs_83 on Answer truthfully!

That's a stupid question. Someone you want as a partner it dont matter if they are conventionally attractive, or 'smart'. What matters is if you respect/trust them, and if you'd want to be with them then you are obviously attracted to them, be it how they look, their personality, their view of the world, y'alls chemistry, a mix of all that shit.

/u/MoonBeamerGirl on [questioning] So, I am not sex repulsed, I experience arousal but

Maybe aegosexual? It’s an offset of asexual where you enjoy sexuality separate from yourself (like enjoying porn). October 01, 2020 at 11:38PM

/u/ADisappointedGoddess on “so you’re a plant..?” yes.

Ahahahaha brilliant October 01, 2020 at 11:35PM

/u/mirrormimi on I can't think in a title for this

I made three guys lose their time, one of which got very upset, and lost a very good friend group because I tried. People who say this kind of thing care about being right and absolutely nothing else, the feelings of everybody else mean nothing to them. October 01, 2020 at 11:35PM

/u/Dramarella on Conflicting feelings after visiting the Ob-Gyn

It‘s really hard to go. The first time, I wanted to go again, was 5 years ago. In the end, it took me 10 years. So, don‘t be too hard on yourself. Go, when you‘re ready. If you don‘t have any pain or discomfort down there, you should be fine. Yes, it‘s important to have regular check ups. But for some they can be quite traumatizing. Thank you for your kind words! 😄 I hope, I can process my feelings in a healthy way. I‘m still scared a little bit. I only had a pap smear and I‘m scared, that I might need a vaginal ultrasonography or a pelvic exam in the future. I‘m not sure, if I can deal with that. But I should try, not to worry too much now. :/ October 01, 2020 at 11:34PM

/u/ADisappointedGoddess on Conflicting feelings after visiting the Ob-Gyn

Yeah it sounds like there might have been a few contributing factors there. I know that I had a really painful experience with a pap smear once. The next time (different doctor) I told ahead of time, and she gave me constant feedback and narration about what was going on, which helped so much, not only with feeling like I had control, but also with the anxiety about whether my tensing up or sliding back to escape (something I can't help) annoyed her. Also she gave me a hug after, which ...kinda weird since I still had no pants, but at the moment I really needed. Idk that anything might "fix" your feelings about this appointment, but maybe planning ahead for next time (developing a plan to tell your doctor exactly what you need, for example) might help with your anxiety and being willing/able to go more regularly?

/u/AHauntingAlternative on i can't stop crying

Just remember that it's that person who is the problem not you. Sexuality is not a dysfunction it is a normal human experience. What a complete and total tool. I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope you're okay ❤ October 01, 2020 at 11:25PM

What does this have to do with asexuality? October 01, 2020 at 11:20PM

/u/MiaulinS on Ace representation in my psychology textbook!

That's unfortunate. I am a psych major though, so maybe I can do something about that one day! My Human Growth and Development class did mention trans people a bit and also mentioned nb people, but only very briefly and didn't mention any subclassifications beyond that. October 01, 2020 at 11:19PM

/u/End-Just on I've considered myself bisexual but I'm questioning...

Hahahah hahahaha. A friend told me “You actually don’t know if you like it or not without trying” They still don’t get what the fuck they got wrong October 01, 2020 at 11:09PM
