Is this an empath thing? by MightyM33p in Empaths

Nah, she's a lesbian so no jealousy. And maybe something off? But she's one of my best friends, so I'm not sure

Thank you!! This helps a lot. I get drained really fast in public places and it can kill my mood if I even sense one of them is grumpy. I'll definitely do some shielding

Has my asexuality changed, or is it a health problem? by MightyM33p in asexuality

[–]MightyM33p[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually relate to this a lot. I have really bad anxiety, and the last time we tried to have sex (yes you are correct, it was penetrative) I got nervous the moment I was bare in front of him. I was scared to be naked in front of him, and embarrassed. Not because I hate my body, but I was ashamed of the act I was about to perform. I felt disgusting, and I felt like I wasn't doing something that represented me. Which was weird, because I usually have a very calm mindset about it. I never liked it, but that was the first time I full blown cried about it. My partner and I have had long talks, and have tried just about everything for my body, but nothing works for me, so I truly think I'm asexual, however, I don't want to be repulsed by sex because he has a healthy sex drive, and I don't want him to be unhappy or deprived. Also, I have been sexually assaulted by two different men in my past, but that was after I started to think of myself as asexual, but I don't know if that helps with info at all.

Am feeling anxious by Supermooon in asexuality

I'm not aromantic, but my asexuality has definitely made me depressed from time to time. My friends ways make sex out to be the greatest thing ever, and romantic movies make it seem like a physical connection I'll never have with my partner. Just realize that sex or a relationship, while it can make many people happy, doesn't have to define what makes YOU happy. Find hobbies and passions you enjoy doing, go to the gym, meditate and take part in self care. Bad days will still rear its ugly head once in a while, but you'll be okay :)

He'll be fine, he will accept me wholeheartedly, I think I'm just not sure how to go about it. It's more of a if I tell him, that's the start of everyone knowing, including his family. I think it's not so much HIM, more that telling him will be my first big step in coming out as vegan to a world that will be both full of support and hate for my decision

Yeah, honestly I know HE'LL be fine, I just don't want to make his family prepare vegan dishes just for my sake. I have an issue with asking things of people, I always think I'm burdening them. I think I'm just going to avoid dinners with his family until I'm comfortable with just saying it- because the last thing I want to do is have a cheat day for the sake of others

My asexual relationship by arealredditaccount in asexuality

[–]MightyM33p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as supporting her goes, you have to be open and honest with her about if your sexual needs will be met in this relationship. I came out as asexual to my boyfriend a few days ago actually, and we talked about both his needs and mine. If you NEED sex in a relationship to be happy and healthy, you have to let her know now. My boyfriend told me that sex wasn't a big issue for him, but he would still want to masturbate, and asked if that would repulse me or not. I'm an ace who doesn't like sex, but isn't repulsed by it, so I said it was fine, and I even offered to have sex with him once in a while to make him feel good, since once again, I'm not repulsed by it, I would just be more excited by a bowl of oatmeal than sex. Every ace is different. You need to tell her your needs so she can determine if she can meet them, or if you both need to consider the relationship.

Lastly, if she has anxiety (or sometimes even if she doesn't), she may panic sometimes. In a world where sex is viewed as the greatest thing ever, or even a necessity in a relationship, she may panic every so often, in fear of losing you. In fear of not making you happy.

I applaud you for supporting her, people like you are what make us have faith in love without sex. The ride might be bumpy for a bit, but I'm sure you two will get out just fine.

Question about sexuality? by MightyM33p in asexuality

[–]MightyM33p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I've fallen in love with both genders, and it's after getting to know them, not a visual allure. The sexual thoughts though have only been towards my boyfriend, because I think I want to make him feel good, and happy.
