So this site is my best friend. It has 3 parts to it.
So for about a year and a bit, I always kinda figured that I was a little bit...different compared to my friends. It wasn't really until midway though last year that I finally figured out what was 'wrong' with me; I have absolutely no interest in people romantically or sexually. I've had cruses -well, squishes- on people before, even dated, but it was always more of an attachment rather than any romantic interest. I never once thought about doing anything PG13+ with them, or in general for that matter, and even when I did it wasn't in the sense of "wow, what a intimate bonding experience!", but rather "that would be kind of awkward, how would you even go about doing anything? What would lead you to wanting to do that?" and I very quickly realised that my thought process was far from what could be considered normal. This applied for similar situations involving things such as, how can I put this, certain scenes in films and on TV, and the process was always the same; "wouldn't that be uncomfortable? Wouldn't that hurt your back? Why are they even doing that, what's the point?" Just stuff like that, as well as not being able to pin the label "hot" on anyone, as I never saw anyone as sexually attractive (which was quite alarming to my friends)
I only really discovered asexuality midway thought last year and boy, was I confused for a very long time. Only after doing a bit of research I came to terms with the fact that I had very similar experiences to other asexual people. I had previously believed that I was pan, because all my feelings were attachment rather than romantic attraction, and I was quite worried that I had crushes on my female friends (which I did not). I finally came to terms with how I really was -which even caused a break up because my current boyfriend was being rather pushy with everything I was quite uncomfortable with doing- and ever since around late August (I think) last year I've finally realised that I am, in fact, asexual and almost completely aromantic (although I would date a boy if I felt I had a squish on him, although I'm only really attracted to certain types of people with similar interests to me)
The site I linked above is very helpful with figuring out anyone who may be having the same problems figuring out if they are asexual, and it certainly helped me out a lot.
I'd also like to know if there's anyone else on this site who are asexual, aromantic or whatever else they are and how they realised they were, and how they dealt with it. I need buddies, c'mon
So that's it, I guess. Mini story time = over. Hope you enjoyed your stay
