/u/arodynamic_ace on Trans lesbian here, feeling lost.

‘ello. i am the very wise asexual teen that knows a shit load about asexuality. it sounds like you’re asexual and homoromantic, woo !! or not, it depends.

asexual, probably. i experience the same thing as an indifferent and neutral asexual* (more info below) so take that as you will. i am also trans but i dunno if i’ve dealt with depersonalization specifically, despite dealing with some type dissociation before. either way, being trans or dealing with depersonalization does not mean you’re asexual but you probs already knew that. it could contribute to it maybe but i don’t believe that shit does anything to your sexuality.

either way, you can get love. there’s plenty of asexuals who have romantic attraction and pursue that kinda cuddly shit but you could also be aro and experience sensual/alterous/platonic/etc attraction** and whatnot.

*there’s several types of repulsion and general thoughts on sex.

repulsion (thoughts on you having sex):

sex repulsed - does not want sex

sex indifferent - doesn’t care

sex favorable - would like sex

—

general thoughts (on people having sex):

sex negative (i think that’s what it’s called lmao) - yucky sex

sex neutral - whatever

sex positive - y’all bang? nice

**the shit i listed are called tertiary attractions. i’ve experienced it and read a lot about it so here’s another list:

sensual attraction - deals with the 5 senses, mostly touch. so, for example: wanting to physically touch a specific someone or gender.

alterous - the in between to platonic and romantic attraction. it’s like wanting to date someone but if they didn’t want to then you wouldn’t push it. like your indifference to sex

platonic - wanting to be friends with someone, probably. the lines between romantic and platonic feelings are extremely blurred but i feel like if you wanted to pursue a romantic relationship then it’s probs romantic attraction.

aesthetic - how visually appealing someone is to you (super self explanatory)

queerplatonic - the want to have a QPR (queerplatonic relationship which is like having a partner but with a different label) with someone in particular

all of these attractions overlap and create these different sections, like how romantic attraction can be a mixture of platonic and sensual attraction (this is just an example, i’m aro so i wouldn’t know lmao)

you can use this info however you like. i just got bored and wrote it all

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou
