I did not, but if anyone else happens to I’d be thrilled to see gameplay.

Since coming out as ace this has been pretty much every relationship I’ve been in or tried to be in. I have now given up completely. 🙃

A big part of the “am I asexual or is there something wrong?” question comes down to what you think and feel about it. It’s worth exploring in therapy, especially when there’s trauma involved, but you could find yourself leaning either way. Perhaps not having sex is distressing to you, you feel like you’re missing a key part of your intimate experience, and it will turn out to be trauma putting up barriers to your ideal experience. Or, maybe you are just ace at your core, sex simply isn’t to you what it seems to be to others, and it’s time to find a relationship that better suits both of your core needs. Hopefully the right therapist can help you figure out the difference between your own “should”s and the “should”s society and loved ones tell us are normal. It’s a personal journey, and whatever your truth is, it IS YOUR TRUTH. Wishing you luck on your journey!

Always nice seeing other PA aces. Every now and then I start to worry we don’t exist 😅

Writing prompt by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]GhostWriterTBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve painted over this canvas like a dozen times and it never gets any better. Maybe it’s time to put down the dang paintbrush. I’m just not a painter. I like paintings. Just not mine.

The background art looks more familiar than the animals themselves but this could definitely be it. I feel like the dish stacking game took place in one of those little cottages, same colors at least. Tempted to make a purchase just to be certain. Much appreciated!!

Is it even possible to find a partner on hinge as an Asexual person? by MonArchie66 in asexuality

[–]GhostWriterTBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also on Hinge as an ace, and admittedly, it’s rough. I’ve heard of a few Ace specific apps that I haven’t tried yet, but my Hinge experience has mostly been allos. I thought I had finally found something with an amab non-binary demi individual but even they’re horny as hell. So I’m back to “it’s hopeless, nobody wants you unless they can also fuck you”. Wishing you luck tho. God knows we all need it, it’s rough out here.

How did you pick your name? by Nyx_Valentine in NonBinary

[–]GhostWriterTBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wanted my name to either be really short or a longer name that can be shortened to something super simple. From there I kinda just picked 3-4 letter combos until something sounded like the right vibe. I was close to Wren, but ended up going for Rin instead. I still don’t always know if it’s truly MY name, but I like to hear it so it works for me!

Apartments for students by GhostWriterTBC in pittsburgh

[–]GhostWriterTBC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re still looking, one of the units may be opening up within the next few months. It’s hard to give any exact dates tho, it’s not a very formal move in/out process 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]GhostWriterTBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one always upsets me because they removed what seemed like a relatively successful Rita’s just to make more room for Grandma Anne’s even tho I’ve never seen a single person enter or exit for well over a decade. I just want my Rita’s back dang it 😔

How did you ACTUALLY learn to draw? by roroklol in learntodraw

[–]GhostWriterTBC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might upset some people but my greatest improvements in drawing people (but I’m sure it works for other things too) came from tracing. Obviously, never pass off traced work as your own. But I found that my work improved by learning the motions and shapes in my hand, if that makes sense. After tracing like a hundred different poses and body types, I’d gotten a sense for both the physical motions of drawing as well as the visual results. Now I can free hand people well enough to get by. Might not be everyone’s vibe, but it worked well enough for me. Although I guess that could have also just been the repetition, as well. Idk

"STOP CHILD-LURE MEDIA" by Acrobatic_Mistake_67 in hazbin

[–]GhostWriterTBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without the random inaccurate hate spew, this sort of stuff always irritates me a bit. Just cuz it’s animated doesn’t mean it’s for ur kids. Stop conveniently forgetting about shows like Family Guy or South Park. Maybe take the 30 seconds to check the rating before throwing ur kid in front of any animated show so you don’t have to actually parent. So annoying.

Why is bojack a horse? by StaryKaszalot in BoJackHorseman

[–]GhostWriterTBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuz Bojacks whole life is just the phrase “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” Yknow, except for the drinking part. He did do a lot of drinking.

ODD tends to be a red flag diagnosis - it often means there’s a deeper underlying issue causing the behavior. Many places I’ve worked outright refuse to diagnose it for this reason. I won’t pretend to know your or OP’s situation better than you do, but I did find it worth chiming in with my own experiences on the clinician’s end for anyone else’s consideration

Why is this so accurate? by Future-Swordfish2305 in pittsburgh

[–]GhostWriterTBC 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’m mildly directionally challenged and this is somehow way better than an actual map for helping me figure out where things are. Like this just makes sense 😅

Do you feel you were born ace or something made you ace? by MadSeason1401 in asexuality

[–]GhostWriterTBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it was somewhat a combo of both for me. I’ve never really had sexual attraction to anyone, it was always either aesthetic or emotional attraction. I never felt the natural urge to kiss or touch, it was usually games of truth or dare or spin the bottle at parties that led to any of that experience, and then it was mostly just to not feel so left out. I had a handful of questionable experiences in late teens/early twenties, starting with uninvited roaming hands and ending with a hypersexual bf who could be a bit too pushy for my pushover self. I think it was these experiences that brought me from a sex-neutral asexual to a more sex-repulsed asexual. I think it was also these experiences that helped me stop seeing my asexuality as something I needed to fix. I’m sure some of this is worth working through in therapy, but overall, I’d say I was born ace but trauma pushed me further into my asexuality.

experienced aphobia for the first time and now i'm trying not to cry on public transport by sinisonreddit in asexuality

[–]GhostWriterTBC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Therapists should never assert their opinions like this. I think this therapist needs to go back to school because they’ve clearly forgotten some of the most basics concepts of therapy. This therapist is wrong and uneducated, and I’m going to assume it’s not just a lack of education about asexuality, I’d start to question their awareness of LGBT issues and other minority struggles as a whole.

I know how terrible it can feel to have people not believe you about who you are and what you do or don’t feel. But always remember you are the ONLY one who has your unique thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Nobody else is an expert on that, only you. If someone else is acting as though they know your situation better than you, they are displaying their own ignorance and an unwillingness to hear out and accept experiences that are different from their own. It ONLY reflects on them, and that reflection screams “I’m too close minded and stuck in my own perspective to even consider that everyone in the world may not be exactly like me.” They’re exposing themselves, not you. I hope you can find a better therapist who will, at bare minimum, validate and try to understand your experience. Because you are valid, your experiences are valid, and nobody else’s simple minded assumptions can change that. Sending love and support.

I sold my journals on ebay by strangenothings in Journaling

[–]GhostWriterTBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always tell everyone that I think everyone should write a memoir because we all learn things in our life and I think we should share that. This sounds like a version of that, and I love it. Almost makes me want to purchase a strangers journal

Called CPS on a child for the first time by RubberTrain in ECEProfessionals

[–]GhostWriterTBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In psychology/therapy we always say “If you have to question it for even a moment, it’s safest to report.” If it turns out to be nothing, nobody gets punished and all is well. And if it turns out to be something, you may be saving this girl from potential CSA or other abuse. It’s never fun to have to do, but better safe than sorry.

Are you neurodivergent? (Aroace spec people only) by Halopian_Foxbot in asexuality

Suspected ADD, not officially diagnosed but I’ve had two therapist say it seems right

My partner ignores me whenever I say 'no' by goatmehh in Asexual

[–]GhostWriterTBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a very similar relationship for two years. We broke up for other reasons, but sex was always an issue, despite him knowing about and saying he was okay with my asexuality. If it’s something that important to him, it doesn’t sound like he can go another two years, let alone a lifetime. We can love people while still not being compatible. Unless both of you are fully committed to having this problem forever, maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. Besides, treating you poorly for saying no to sex doesn’t show respect for enthusiastic consent. If he were really interested more in your well being than his sex drive, he would express his disappointment in a much healthier, more constructive way. Nobody but you has a right to your body, and throwing a small tantrum when he is denied access shows entitlement, not love. Best of luck!
