I had someone ask me if I was ace without me (or someone else) telling them for the first time ever. It felt... Well, validating.

I went out with a couple of colleagues I don't know very well and one asked me if I had a girlfriend or boyfriend. I gave my usual answer of "Nah, I don't want one" and the other colleague immediately said, "Fair enough. Are you asexual?"

I was taken aback at first. Like, "Shit, yeah. Wow. Good guess but how did you know? Allos don't always want to be in a relationship either."

She said that she had always wondered and my response that I didn't want a partner kind of confirmed it for her*. That I give off ace vibes, apparently (no ring or ace colours or anything).
*ironically I'm not aromantic but I didn't mention that

I don't know, it made me feel great for some reason. Someone just kinda knew and I didn't have to explain anything. She just got it.

A friend of mine said to me that asexuality doesn’t exist :(

I made a new account bc the said friend follows me.. anyway I’m 17F and I’m not 100% sure whether I’m asexual or not but I do relate to a lot of it.
Anyway, I was just hanging out with a friend of mine the other day and we were talking and she asked me if I’d ever have sex with my favorite celebrity if I had the chance (she asked me that seriously, not in a joking matter) and I just said no because even tho he is my favorite celebrity, I don’t know him personally and I wouldn’t be comfortable having sex with someone I barely know. And she kept on saying how I must be lying and stuff like that. Then I said something along the lines of that I just don’t think about sex that much and then she went on and on about how that’s bullshit because she thinks that everyone experiences sexual attraction the same way and that everyone thinks about sex all the time. Then I said that asexual people don’t and to that she said that asexuality doesn’t exist and that it’s basically an illness. Which just made me feel really bad, like I know she’s wrong but it still makes me upset that she thinks that. And I feel just very weird or wrong now for probably being asexual. Like I feel like there’s something wrong with me. But I seriously almost never experience sexual attraction and I almost never think about sex and stuff like that…. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what she said for days now and I guess I’m just really upset now so I needed to rant. :(

I don't feel validated as an asexual

It seems like everyone thinks to be ace you are all sex repulsed but I really really want it and I'm kinky and shit and it feels like I'm the one person like this

if you've ever said this to an asexual person fVck off

If you are friends with an asexual person, (or you are asexual or just know somebody that is ace) never tell them that they just need to find the right person, it's very offensive (in my opinion) and it hurts my and most likely all ace peoples feelings ( I am an ace person so I'm not speaking without knowledge)

I came out to my sister

Everyone loves a good ally story... That's not one of them.

During the pandemic my mum, my sister and I started weekly discord calls to have coffee and catch up. After an hour or two, mum leaves the call and my sister and I keep chatting, most of the times for at least two more hours, sometimes with a glass of wine.
During these chats we overcame our issues with each other, in fact we realized that we're basically the same person. I see and hate my bad traits in her and vice versa. Now that we know that, we see more eye to eye, so I felt safe to come out to her during one of our calls after mum had left (she kinda knows but that's another story, if anyone is interested).

So... I sat there in front of my laptop, looked awkwardly in the camera, the topic was already close enough, so I decided to give it a shot.

Me: Er... You know... I'm actually asexual.

Her eyes widened, she stared at me in shock for a second and I'll never forget her first words after that.

Sister: OMG, same! I've never met another ace before and now you're telling me, my own sister is one! That's so cool!

Me: Wait what? How cool is that! I guess there must be something to the theory that being queer may be a question of genetics!

I felt a whole bunch of different emotions. I was relieved, I was happy, I never expected her response. We shared a laugh and talked a little more about it, finding out that we're actually both aegos but I'm aro while she's not. She actually told me about this subreddit.
I don't know if she feels the same way (even though I believe she does) but I feel like that brought us even closer together.

(Just so you know, I asked my sister in advance if she's okay with me posting here, she is and just asked for the link, I didn't drag her out if the closet without her consent)

I just went to a gay a bar and a girl wanted to have sex with me.

I am now crying and shaking with my ears ringing and I am not sure why. I thought I was sex neutral, but this fucked me up in a way I didn’t expect. I don’t know what is wrong with me. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Went to a pride event today

The parade had almost no ace rep but at one point there was a person walking in the parade with an ace and an aro flag tied around their neck. I was wearing a face mask with an ace flag on it and we had this moment of solidarity looking at eachother and making a little nod like "I see you, you're cool" and it definitely made my day better.

New theory: we're ace because we ate too much garlic(bread) so the sexuals couldn't bite us

Hey, I'm looking for asexual friends and maybe a qpp. I dont know anybody else who is asexual. Super socially awkward, shy asexual here. I have trouble making friends because people dont approve of me being asexual etc. Im mentally ill which makes it even harder to make friends. James, They/Them
