/u/palindromei on What’s everyone’s Hobbies and Interests?

filmmaking, dungeons and dragons, drawing, and learning music on my uke :) April 26, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/OcassionalPhilosophr on What’s everyone’s Hobbies and Interests?

Story-driven video games, 3d puzzles, animation, listening to video essays on history or unsolved crimes, and reading various forms of fiction April 25, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/sorrowburrito on Where do you want to be 10 years from now?

Happy. Hopefully living in Sweden or elsewhere in Scandinavia with my friend, free to live life as I choose, enjoying both love for computers and gaming, as well as traveling, camping and survival, traditional blacksmithing/woodworking. April 25, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/The_Rat_King14 on What’s everyone’s Hobbies and Interests?

I love robotics and I actually got second at a state robotics competition last week on Saturday April 25, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/Aerotactics on What's the difference between a crush and someone you enjoy to meet from familiarity?

Didn't know there was a word for that. Could be. I'd really like to have more small talk with this person, kinda get to know more about them, but because of the pacing, it doesn't happen. April 25, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/ratzoneresident on If someone ever tells you Asexuality is not valid just remember that Isaac Newton (ace) and Nikola Tesla (aroace) exist.

Tesla was crazy in general. He was known to basically never sleep (2 hours a night max he claims) either for work ( and often calling up his friends late at night to incoherently bounce theories off them) or for pleasure - he would spend dozens of hours gambling at times. Also he apparently had a really good memory and spoke 8 languages. And when he went vegetarian he ate only vegetable juice, milk, bread and honey. Crazy mf April 25, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/Angelcakes101 on What’s everyone’s Hobbies and Interests?

Art, games, reading stuff with pictures(comics/manga/manhwa/webtoons), watching various things on YouTube, guitar, learning Korean, anime. April 25, 2021 at 11:48PM

/u/Reimu64 on This belongs here, methinks

This is it! I'm genuinely smiling right now. April 25, 2021 at 11:47PM

/u/sorrowburrito on Asexual hobbies?

I'm a blacksmith by trade (almost 8 years now) and enjoy survival/bushcraft things. I can find and create almost anything I need to survive and thrive, and I enjoy the lifestyle a lot April 25, 2021 at 11:39PM

/u/sorrowburrito on What’s everyone’s Hobbies and Interests?

Writing, reading, blacksmithing, survival, computer building, video games, and knowing way too many random facts that no one ever wants to hear. I don't talk a lot, but I feel I have a lot of knowledge to give April 25, 2021 at 11:35PM

/u/confused_middleager on When would you wish your parentes had talked to you about sexualties?

my son is 13 and holy crap is it ever awkward and difficult. there's such a thin line between being supportive and intrusive. and every kid is different. i don't have answers, i just wanted to let you know you're not alone. April 25, 2021 at 11:34PM

/u/confused_middleager on aren’t all children asexual

no, children can be physically aroused as a physical reflex. it doesn't necessarily reflect sexual attraction. i mean, that happens as a teenager too. Somebody mentions boobs and half the class can't stand up. but it's not because there is a person there that everybody is specifically lusting after. April 25, 2021 at 11:27PM

/u/MadAshes0548 on Do people actually enjoy making out?

I really enjoy kissing my partner, but anything with tongue is just kinda meh. Like it feels kinda pointless. April 25, 2021 at 11:26PM

/u/confused_middleager on aren’t all children asexual

you knew what sex was and wanted to do that with girls when you were 5 years old? most 5 year olds think it's icky to kiss... April 25, 2021 at 11:24PM

/u/LilacMoon03 on What’s everyone’s Hobbies and Interests?

jeez, i have too many 😅 music, musical theatre, Archery, painting, drawing, swimming, embroidery (not very good at it thought), biking, and arts and crafts in general. these are only a handful of all of my hobbies April 25, 2021 at 11:21PM

/u/confused_middleager on I love the idea of a platonic life partner, but I don’t know how you find someone like that, especially in this day and age.

meeting people situationally is "normal" but it also doesn't matter if it's "normal" or not -- you do you. it's easier to make friends when you're comfortable, so do the thing that works for you. your potential life partner will be fine with it. April 25, 2021 at 11:21PM

/u/AnonThrowaway338 on I love the idea of a platonic life partner, but I don’t know how you find someone like that, especially in this day and age.

Yeah pretty much everyone I’ve ever met in life has been situationally, so I have no idea how to actually meet people normally. And yeah, I want someone to do real things with and interact with, but I’m scared of doing that. April 25, 2021 at 11:18PM

/u/confused_middleager on I think I’m Ace but I’m worried about identifying as Ace if it turns out I’m not

I'm sorry you had that experience. It's not ok for someone to basically shame and invalidate your experiences. Life is hard enough without that kind of bullying. I hope your new/current friends are more supportive. People ought to be able to accept and support you for who you are. Even when who you are evolves. April 25, 2021 at 11:16PM

/u/stitchitch on If someone ever tells you Asexuality is not valid just remember that Isaac Newton (ace) and Nikola Tesla (aroace) exist.

just a reminder that they didn't identify as ace, we are putting the label on them by speculation. April 25, 2021 at 11:11PM

/u/fxrgetmenots13 on Kisses are...ewwww???

Hi!! Thanks! I think I might be biromantic, but I don't want to obsess and question myself 24/7. I think just knowing that I'm asexual it's enough and only time will tell me if I'm romantically attracted to someone or not. April 25, 2021 at 11:10PM

why not? the park is no more or less logical a place to talk to a random person than a bar. but, nevermind: it is perfectly reasonable not to want to have to have to approach a random person. so then the question becomes: how do you get an excuse to talk to someone? the classic things would be to have friends introduce to other friends. or, join some kind of club or take some kind of class. or do meetups. presumably the activity suggests some kind of shared interest, and a reason to engage in conversation, and that gives you a place to start. if the only things you do are things done by yourself then that makes things a lot harder. not only because it makes it harder to meet people, but also because it's hard to build a relationship with someone through those activities. as in: would your dream vacation with your partner be to play FPS games on you individual screens, never talking to each other, and only seeing each other during bio breaks? is that the image you would have fo

/u/Partially_Noided on Am I Asexual?

If I were you I would check out the FAQ section on the front page of this sub, there are tons of good resources to look through to help you make the decision yourself. It is your sexuality after all! Best of luck in your search for clarity :) April 25, 2021 at 11:07PM

Relationship goals. April 25, 2021 at 11:07PM
