I just came out for the first time ever

I just told my mom that I'm ace. She literally had never heard this word before even though she's queer herself. I asked her if she could do research because my explaining abilities are as bad as they come, so she did and she actually understood it quite fast.

I feel so light now. I told her a childhood story that relates to me being ace and we laughed together.

Thanks to everyone in this sub, you helped me discover and accept myself <3

My sister knew I was ace before I did

I'm 19, and about last month I realized I was asexual. I told my best friend about 3 days ago and I just told my mom. She told me that she knew something about me was different, and she had a conversation about it with Bri, my older sister. My mom thought I was gay and just didn't know it. Well, Bri had said that I was probably asexual. Turns out she was right. I find it funny how she knows me better than I do.

I don’t usually think about my asexuality, but sometimes I really appreciate being asexual.

Aromantic ace here.

I think that because I’m aromantic my asexuality doesn’t ever really come up in my day-to-day life. I’m not looking for a relationship, I’m not think about people in a romantic or sexual way…so I don’t really ever think about the fact that I’m asexual.

But sometimes I read posts on Reddit (and other places) and I’m so glad I’m an asexual guy. I read posts about guys who make moves on their friends that are girls and ruin their friendship because of that…I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that. I see posts about guys who harass complete strangers…I’m glad I don’t have to worry that I’m doing that. I see posts about how guys and girls can’t be friends, or about how careful girls have to be around guys because even their married friends hit on them…and every time I see a post like that I’m glad I’m asexual. I can’t relate to the guys posting (or in the post if it was posted by a girl) at all.

I have a lot of friends that are girls, I’m close with many of them. I’ve crashed at their place when drunk, they’ve crashed at my place when drunk, and never once have I felt uncomfortable or made them feel uncomfortable.

I just wanted to say…while I never really think about the fact that I’m ace,and I sometimes think that being ace is not a big part of my life, but it has definitely shaped who I am and my relationships and I’m happy that I was born ace.

hate this shit smh

just watched sex ed on netflix, kind of frustrating to see themes about exploring this world of sensation when i have none of it. not a problem with the show i just feel like i don’t wanna lack it, i feel like im missing out on something that all of my peers are so happy with.

Do you use any psychiatric medicine?

Edit: Choose "Yes - For more than 1 year" even if it's less than a year.

If you want you can mention the type of medicine in the comments.

Choose "No" if you've never used them as a treatment.

Yesterday I said “I think I’m asexual” in public for the first time.

Alcohol was involved and someone asked me “Are you gay or straight or what?” Without so much as blinking, I replied “I think I’m asexual.”

The support I’ve received through this subreddit has been a key factor toward me being able to formulate my identity and to be completely at ease with it. I am very grateful for it, as I am for all of you who make up this community.
