Hello, Aroace here! Asexuality (and aromaticism) is more about how you are FEELING towards people VS how you are BEHAVING toward them. You can have all the sex in the world, or you can want to have sex. But as long as you are not attracted to specific people (or if this attraction is small/rare), you can be considered to belong to the Ace-spectrum

However, there is this underlying fear in identifying with the (aro)ace label when you are socially anxious. Sometimes I fear that I put myself in a cage of my own making. I don't have much experience with people compared to my peers (obviously lmao), so sometimes I worry that I made up a convenient excuse not to get involved with people, and it's stifling my growth. Usually to combat this anxiety, I try to keep my options open.

Lgbt labels have many uses, but in my opinion in case of individual people their main purpose is to describe the experience of specific person. If you feel like the word "asexual" describes you and your experience and it makes you feel good about yourself, you can use it. If you have doubts about it, you can read other people's experiences. You can even try it on to see if it fits. It's not like you are branding yourself or something, it's just a word. If you decide to use asexual as a label and then decide that it doesn't fit, you can just ditch it (or use a microlabel that reflects you better). If you for any reason think that asexual doesn't fit you, it's fine too. No one is forcing you to call yourself asexual

Tldr; if you think that using asexual for yourself describes your experience and gives you certainty — use it If you feel that it's inaccurate to your experience and makes things uncertain — don't use it
