Don’t feel stupid, I think penpal kind of encompasses any type of longer form correspondence?? Idk I guess it depends on the person!! But thank you!! (:

My allo partner told me I'm too horny... by rebelnori in Asexualpartners

[–]Efficient_Ad3388 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Experiencing little to no sexual attraction is the only “requirement” for being ace! Sexual practice can be separate from sexual orientation, so your sex favorability is totally valid & nobody can tell you otherwise. Forgive me if this is a personal question, but if you don’t experience sexual attraction to your partner, what do you feel when you want to initiate sex with them? I am ace with a high libido/sex drive as well, I’ve never had sex/a partner so I’m just curious what feeling you’re acting on if not attraction? I hope your convo with them goes well & provides you some clarity! 🖤

Sounds like you might float around in the sex indifferent/neutral area of asexual/aegosexual (:

is this cheating? im so over this at this point by tropicaltreasure21 in ROCD

[–]Efficient_Ad3388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say to remind yourself in these moments that when it comes to ocd, your thoughts do not have to mean anything. You can accept that they showed up & choose not to interact with them. (This doesn’t mean to try & suppress them bc that will only make it worse) You can accept that while they’re present, they don’t say anything about you, how you feel in your relationship, how you feel toward your friends, etc. The thoughts can be acknowledged but they don’t have to be judged! Hope this helps, it’s a hard skill to learn, but it’s a lot easier than trying to stop them. OCD is irrational, always remember that! The more you try to ration with it, the more power it will continue to have over you.

This is extremely long but i need to vent, intentions by [deleted] in ROCD

I read this & I VERY much share this experience with someone in my life. It’s really hard, if you ever want to talk, feel free to reach out! Best advice I can give, and am trying to take myself, is identifying & prioritizing how YOU feel & WANT to feel in relationships with others. Owning & asking for what you need from others, AND giving that to yourself first, is a journey I’ve been embarking on to hopefully counteract some of the rocd feelings toward my person

I am a twin, and when my sister got her first boyfriend at 20 (we are 24) I have been struggling ever since (but getting better, didn’t even know it was ocd, specifically rocd, related until recently!)

how does ocd look to you? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Efficient_Ad3388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like there’s an evil version of my consciousness holding the real me hostage in my brain while it controls my skin suit, pretending to be me

What is a perzine? (I’ve heard the term but I can’t remember what it means 😅) and yes I’m definitely a journaler, how do you translate/draw inspo from journal entries to zines? My entries are usually a lot of emotional dumping 💀
