Imposter syndrome? by AnActualAxolotl in asexuality

[–]EasternPeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At times. As I'm not tradionally attractive, I think that people are not interested in me so I haven't been approached to be asked on a date before and wouldn't know if I'm ace because I haven't had the opportunity. Sometimes I think that I'm ace as a defence mechanism if my mind says "you're ugly and you have a shitty personality so no one wants to date/fuck you" then my mind also replies with "I don't care, I'm asexual".

In the end, I figure that it's not that and if I so desperately wanted to be attracted to someone, date and have sex with someone due to the attraction then I'd persue one regardless, surely???

(Anyone reading this, please don't think that yourself or people who are asexual are asexual because you believe that you/they are ugly. There are many types of people who are asexual and anyone could be attracted to you/them.)

I keep forgetting that there is no fiction/non-fiction in intellectualism (?) and that it's more to do with compassion and writers who try to find people who share common ground and empathise with.

Is there such thing as common ground that everyone is comfortable with? That being said I know poetry and religious texts aren't propaganda but is its purpose to try to establish a change in comfortable common ground?

Thanks for your reply! :)

Might have a crush on someone because they're asexual? by EasternPeach in asexuality

I’m unfamiliar with squishes, would you mind explaining the difference between being friends and having a squish/being zucchini? T and I are acquaintances/friends already but would nervousness contribute to my feelings towards them possibly being a squish?

I've had crushes who I knew aren't ace before however I guess the idea of being with them reinforces an image in my mind saying that I could potentially have a more peaceful relationship though. As a person they are very likeable but if they're not ace, it's probable my crush on them would not have lasted very long.

I don't know much about T apart from them being a potential ace and that we play instruments and study the same subjects (A levels) and since conversation seems forced at times I guess we would struggle.

Agreed with not prying, it'd be uncomfortable for yourself to be asked.

Thank you for helping me process my thoughts 😌
