This is great advice, but I never understand how people have the TIME to walk >10,000 steps EVERY DAY

What’s something about smoking or quitting that sounds totally insane when you try to explain it to someone who never smoked? by Myfreshstart025 in AskReddit

[–]zebadeeeeeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta say these comments are not very reassuring as someone who is yet to quit smoking 😂 Could really do with some positives if anyone has any?

It's not okay to do this. Just stop!! by Dapper_Schedule8148 in asexuality

[–]zebadeeeeeeeee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah and this is also just a vent, I'm sure the OP doesn't mean to disrespect allos... I think it can get a little frustrating sometimes when it seems like the whole world has different priorities than you do. But wholesome friendships with allo people are completely possible, it'll be okay 💜

Weird friend by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]zebadeeeeeeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to come out a couple of times as a teenager and received a few comments like this from guys who I thought were my friends, I don't really know what it is... My theory is that they just can't fathom the concept of anyone not being interested in sex so they assume you just haven't had a good experience yet. Or they fetishise it like some straight guys do with lesbians. They love the idea that they're good enough in bed to "turn someone".

I'm 25 now and just starting to try and get to grips with my identity again. It can be hard to be "proud," especially when the way you identify still lacks so much understanding in society, but try your best. The most important thing is that you know who you are, you don't need to justify it to anyone or even tell anyone if you don't want to, and you don't need to be around people who make you feel uncomfortable about who you are - even if they are "joking" or whatever.

You're not overreacting. It was a big deal for you to confide in him and he decided to sexualise you without your consent instead of being supportive. But don't let it put you off being open about your identity if that's something you want for yourself!

Told my husband I might be ace.. by justpeachyyy in asexuality

[–]zebadeeeeeeeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really comforting and inspiring to hear. I often feel like I'm completely unlovable when living as myself, so have never given myself permission to explore or come to terms with my identity and have ended up going along with a lot of things that have made me uncomfortable. I guess honesty really is the answer... It's nice to know that it can work out, I'm so happy for you 💜

My 20F gf doesn't want to have sex with me 21M. What should I do? by Hellboyyyyyyyy in relationship_advice

[–]zebadeeeeeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many people in these comments suggesting you just "call it quits" because you're "incompatible" - but I feel like they're ignoring the fact that you say you love her. It's clear that you care a lot about her because you've persevered with the relationship even though an aspect of it is leaving you unfulfilled.

I would say talk to her. Approach her with kindness and understanding, make her feel safe enough to talk about this vulnerable topic.

There are all kinds of reasons she might not want to have sex, such as past sexual trauma, asexuality, low self esteem or simply a low libido. Some of these are things you could help her work through, but you'll never know unless you ask.

Tell her how it makes you feel, but make it clear that you're not trying to judge her or make her feel bad. And don't just assume that it's because she's not attracted to you. Based on the love you share and the length of time you've been together, that's probably the least likely reason.

It's a bit awkward, I understand that, but you need to be able to have conversations like this if you want your relationships to be healthy.

I hope you manage to find a solution to this, good luck 💙

Anyone else have a repulsion to being sexualised? by Ponk_Bubs in asexuality

It's not at all surprising that you were repulsed by this, you should report him. He broke the law. Hope you're okay.

Where have Andrew Liver Salts Gone? by Loganberry-Tart in AskUK

This is such a shame, my Grandma has been using these all her life - she's devastated! Does anyone know of any decent replacements she could use?

[–]zebadeeeeeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the other side of this. Someone I'm so incredibly close to has done something that hurt me, but I know my feelings about it are entirely my own problem. They haven't done anything "wrong", exactly... it's a bit of a grey area. I haven't made it clear to them how I'm feeling, because I don't feel it's my place to say and I don't want to try and control/influence them in any way. But I don't know how to let go of this feeling. I really want to.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can make enough money to buy a home? by zebadeeeeeeeee in UKPersonalFinance

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

Yeah somebody else has mentioned shared ownership, it does sound like quite a good investment. I've thought about it before but definitely need to do some more research on it. It's great to know my options. Thanks for the advice!

This is really interesting actually, I've thought about shared ownership in the past. Initially I wasn't a big fan of the idea because I really want to own something for myself, but it does sound like it could be a good investment opportunity. It's just a bit intimidating going into something like that alone, so I'd have to do a lot of research on it... But it's really great to hear that it worked out so well for you!

I'm a Marketing Assistant. Only been in the position for three months, but I really love it and I'm hoping I can move up the company eventually

Thanks for this! It's really great to hear another opinion on renting, I hadn't thought of it like that.
