I think a lot of us don't have a realization that we are Ace, we don't realize we don't experience attraction until we see others experience it and then wonder why, feel awkward when people talk about crushes, feel left out or like there's something wrong with us. I'd have a friend of your character talking about a crush, and your main character wondering why they feel that way, how it's different from friendship, etc. But not asking these questions aloud. In my experience, the path to understanding you're ace is a pretty solitary journey. October 23, 2020 at 11:12PM
