It says something, that there's people who would rather enjoy their lives than chase attachment to someone, just so they can get some dopamine

Finally letting my emotions out
I have a love hate relationship with my asexuality. I try to be prideful like I am with being biromantic but there are some days where it's just so difficult and I legitimately wish I was just straight or bisexual. But I never told anyone, not even this subreddit because I like to be the person who is openly queer and that my friends can go to with questions or frustrations about their sexuality and for some reason I though expressing what I dislike about being queer would ruin that.
Anyway, I was talking to one of my straight friends about enemies and some how asexuality got brought up. I was really tired as the effects of two energy drinks had worn off and I started going off about my frustrations. I was afraid he wouldn't listen or care but I just kept going, I couldn't stop. Be he did listen, there was a couple things he got wrong (he's new to the friend group and hasn't really known anyone from the lgbtq+ community before) but he tried his best to help me. Nothing he said was really profound but just being there for me and listening and telling me I was valid helped so much.
He's a true ally.

High School was a different time for those like us
Me, in high school: How the hell do people *"accidentally"* have children? Just don't have sex, JFC how hard is that?
Me, after figuring out I'm Ace and realizing not everyone sees sex like I do: oooohhhhh......

Thank you all.
So, this is kinda a hard thing for me to admit because it makes me seem like the shittiest person ever. But... I used to be a raging aphobe.
Part of the thing that helped me change was this forum, because it caused me to read more about asexuality, and not only did I realize that the way I was thinking was wrong and just plain incorrect, I realized that the biggest reason I was so rude and bigoted toward ace people is because I was in denial of being on the ace and aro spectrums.
I get it if I still seem like a bad person, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here because you've all helped me change, and not only that, break down the walls and get out of denial about who I am.

"You're not really LGBT. You guys have never been oppressed. You're the straight white men of the LGBTQIA."
A quote from my (extremely heterosexual) sister. I love her, but I really wanted to smack her when she said this. I laughed it off, but it was kinda hurtful, especially with that one girl being murdered recently.
She also says I'm not allowed to say I'm LGBT, because it doesn't have an "A" in it.
​
Edit: Sorry, that last line wasn't clear. According to her I'm not allowed to say, "I'm a member of the LGBT." I have to say the full "LGBTQIA" or I'm appropriating homosexual, bisexual, and trans culture or something.

These idiots are straight out of 70s or 80s
Some dumb ass: Women don't have sexual desire, and men can't say no to sex.
Me: *i'm the living proof of opposite of what you said* Ever heard of asexuality?

Romantic comedies helped me realize I’m probably ace
One of the things that led me to realizing I’m most likely ace is the way some sex scenes begin in romantic comedies. The way two people stare at each other and then kind of lunge at each other like they NEED to fuck right there and then no matter what. And I mentioned to a friend, “yeah as if sex ever actually happens like this, Hollywood, blah blah blah.” And my friend is surprised, ”you’ve never just seen someone and needed them like that?”
Oh shit, that’s what sexual attraction must be like.
