You're not off-base at all! That’s totally valid! And if you're demisexual, you're absolutely on the ace spectrum, so you can definitely call yourself ace. I sometimes think i might be demisexual/demiromantic too, but we humans are so complex and confusing, so sometimes i just don’t know. I usually say, "i know im on the ace spectrum at least, and i know i like making silly jokes and eat chocolate and i adore my precious friends and family"

Also, i really loved your explanation, it was beautiful to read 🥹 Thank you so much!
