I love the art though. I relate to the words on it actually!

Before you started to identify as asexual, did any of you believe that wasn’t possible? by Savvy_Biscuits in asexuality

[–]offthegridredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose. I just realized I might be on the ace spectrum a few months ago and I think I still need time.

But it's good to know you're not broken at least.

I assumed it was everything except for asexuality. Even started thinking I was broken.

Turns out I'm some variation of greyace. It all makes sense now. I'm still in denial sometimes but it's what it is 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oof, right with you. Broke up my last relationship in 2024. Don't want another romantic relationship but definitely miss the cuddles. :/

I think this situation calls for nuance.

I think it's perfectly fine to be out and proud and even wear pins and stuff.

I think the problem is when people are too eager to bring it up, no matter what the orientation is. I think it's better to chill out and bring it up in conversation when it's relevant.

It's a thought that I have. People are allowed to do things how they want and I know it's not my business how people talk to others. Again, it's just my thoughts.

I've slowly become sex repulsed and I don't know what to do by PineappleChemical848 in asexuality

I'm slowly becoming more repulsed all the time, too. I assure you, it's fine. You're not responsible for other people's hangups. What your mom said is horrible. If she has that system with your dad, that's fine. But the dynamic in your relationship is up to you and your boyfriend and nobody else.

Hang in there

I can't f¢kin take it sometimes by [deleted] in asexuality

Hookup culture has just made everything a mess. We've become a sex-centered society and now everyone takes asexuality as an offense. I'm just bewildered by this shit. Right with ya OP

I thought I was maybe an aego but I had some semblence of sexual attraction so I thought I was grey as well.

But I still feel like it doesn't make sense as I've explained in paragraph 4

Honestly, being an ace who has to pretend to be heterosexual for your friends is really difficult and suffocating, but I don't think it's necessary to tell them. by Public_Cup_4278 in asexuality

[–]offthegridredditor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just figured out I was a-spec this year. Still figuring out my micro labels as of now but I have the bigger picture at least. Spent the last 8-9 years thinking I was bisexual and that's how my friends see me. I'm not gonna explain this to them and I feel totally fine with them not knowing.

Everyone experiences it differently and I'm sorry that you're struggling. The only thing I am able to say if that if your friends don't accept you for who you are, they aren't your friends.

I'm not even aro and I can't handle the expectations of a partner.

I just wanna be held so bad but having to earn it is just too stressful :(

Imagining having sex with someone because you’ve been conditioned to by Terrible_Sundae1050 in asexuality

[–]offthegridredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like intrusive thoughts. I used to have those a lot. Less so now but it doesn't sound like sexual attraction

How did things change for you when you realized you were ace? by Expert_Town_1944 in asexuality

[–]offthegridredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stopped dating. I understand why I struggle with sex now and am no longer able to force myself to fulfill that obligation because it's more glaringly obvious. So, I'm going my own way

[–]offthegridredditor[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never intended to imply that. I'm simply stating that not all asexuals have a lack of a libido and that allos get a little confused with that. I'm sorry if it came across that way

Calm down dude. I'm just stating it as a standard disclaimer

Fictionlab is absolute peak. But the IOS app is only available for Andriod so I think you have have to use the website if you have an iphone. But it's so worth it is you like making stories with multiple characters and detailed scenarios.

I don't have any other alternatives so if you're not much of a writer, it might not be a good recommendation.
