I am so here for these updates. March 17, 2021 at 12:06AM

Do you like visual novels? I have shared something about it twice already here but if you're interested I can recommend some with nice rep! March 17, 2021 at 12:05AM

Todd on Bojack Horseman is pretty cool. March 17, 2021 at 12:05AM

Please don't harm yourself! Before you know it, you'll manage to find a job, move out and you'll meet all sorts of people who will accept for you who you are! It will get better and we'll be here to show you that you are valid! March 17, 2021 at 12:04AM

-Gives you a tissue- I know, it brings joy to my life March 17, 2021 at 12:04AM

Right? I'm also so hungry specifically for this cake now haha March 17, 2021 at 12:04AM

Someone make this please March 17, 2021 at 12:03AM

That's the tagline March 17, 2021 at 12:03AM

This sucks mate. Maybe it's not needed, but just wanted to give you a friendly reminder that you are valid, you are respected and in here you have a community that supports you. Like many already said, you should definitely get a new therapist, I know it doesn't feel like it will be different, but there ARE good therapists out there. My sister is a psychologist and I always tease her everytime I run into someone that sucks like this in her profession, she gets really frustrated about this and accepts that even if it shouldn't happen, it does, as awful and unfortunate as it is. But just bear in mind that it's not always like that. I suggest looking into a local lgbtqia++ support org in your country, they often have info about therapists and such that are clearly more knowledgeable about sexuality. Best of luck.

Ty very much :> March 17, 2021 at 12:02AM

So this one's been suggested to me a lot and I can't recommend it enough because GOD I love it. Murderbot. It's a book series and its main character is ace. March 17, 2021 at 12:01AM

Okay so Generally yes Aces are born Ace, but it is possible for trauma to turn someone ace, that's called being Caedsexual, and having sex will only decide on whether or not you like it, not if your Ace. Liking or wanting sex isn't the same thing as being Ace, there are plenty of Aces who want to have sex for various reasons, they just don't feel sexual attraction. I would say a good way to find out if your Ace is to just compare experiences of Allosexuals (people who feel sexual attraction) and Ace-Spec people and see which you identity with more. Also you can live a normal life and have a healthy relationship and still be Ace. March 17, 2021 at 12:00AM

I usually don't say anything unless somebody asks. I will never tell my father's family, they are roman catholic and it is so hard to tell if they would accept/understand/respect it or not. I kinda just stay in my closet with the door slightly open so that people can kinda see the signs. Like me having the desktop of my school mac having the aegosexual flag. I just don't want to be invalidated, or be viewed as an alien. I doubt many in my social circle even knows the term and it can get weird to explain. March 16, 2021 at 11:59PM

I literally did as I can’t look with any other eyes March 16, 2021 at 11:59PM

Also ad-blockers, I may be Ace, but the constant flow of "You won't last 5 minutes" and "Don't play when your girlfriend is home" gets pretty annoying. March 16, 2021 at 11:58PM

Ty for the help :> March 16, 2021 at 11:58PM

Look at my comment through the eyes of a human asexual who has no desire for children. March 16, 2021 at 11:58PM

Old gods of Appalachia has a Canon ace character- it's an anthology so there aren't 'main characters' exactly but she's a reoccurring and prominent character March 16, 2021 at 11:57PM

Don't give up! Things will get better. It may take awhile, but it will improve. In the meantime, find something small to look forward to. A hobby, or something like that. You can do it I believe in you! March 16, 2021 at 11:56PM

It depends on when and where you’ll be wearing it. I have several, and I’ve found that silicone rings are good if I am going to be working with my hands. Silicone rings are flexible and can be very black. They’re also inexpensive. I have other ace rings for other situations. March 16, 2021 at 11:56PM

*sniffs with tears forming in my eyes* It's beautiful... March 16, 2021 at 11:54PM

Omg that looks sooo gooodd!!!! I'm hungry now : < March 16, 2021 at 11:54PM

If you do decide to keep this therapist do you think you'd be okay with them pressing this? It is 100% possible to find a therapist who will either accept you for being Ace, or just leave it alone, because them trying to change you is essentially conversion therapy. I sincerely hope that either your able to get this therapist to back off, or find one that can be more respectful and open minded to your feelings and emotions. March 16, 2021 at 11:53PM
