I'm in the closet so I made some pride flags in terraria, on a floating island because I don't want someone walking in on me playing Terraria and seeing the flags at spawn ^^'

I am tired of hearing "that'll change soon" in regard of getting children
(I am on my phone, so I apologize for formatting issues)
Quick Background:
I (21F) found out that I am on the ace spectrum a few months ago, even though I had the feeling ever since I was a young teenager.
I had "adult fun time" once in my life and felt nothing, except shame.
I also tried plenty of sexual stuff with my ex, but I always felt like I was forcing myself to do it for him, even though I never felt right with it.
Anyways, I absolutely don't want children. I never wanted. When we had Sex Ed back in Elementary School and we learned about pregnancies, I felt sick. Every time I thought and still think of getting pregnant, I feel extremely uneasy.
I personally think my fear of getting pregnant ties in with my asexuality to some degree.
A few days ago, I had to fill out a form with lots of questions bc I wanna get therapy (for multiple reasons).
One of the Questions was if I had children and if yes, how many.
I sat in a room with my mother and just said "I'll never want children, this question is unnecessary for me."
My mom replied with a simple "That'll change when you get older."
I replied "I already know that I don't want children, so no, it won't change."
My mom then proceeded to talk about how she always wanted two children, but only got one (me) and blah blah.
I love both of my parents a lot, but every time I try to explain to them that they won't become grandparents one day they always say "That'll change" and I absolutely hate it.
I can't stand children, I couldn't care about children, heck I can't even take care of myself properly.
Why are parents always thinking that their children will definetely get own children one day?
Sorry for the rant, but I just had to get it out of my head ;;;;

Finally figured out what that "touch starved" thing meant
Dont want to go into how i figured this out but the realisation hit me hard. I always thought i never really wanted relationships but maybe i do just for the sake of being able to hug someone, Maybe closeness with others isnt over rated?

Therapist Win!
I told my therapist yesterday that I’m asexual and she asked me to explain what that meant for me. So I did. And she validated me! It feels wonderful to know that there are people in counseling who understand!

Anyone else feel VERY uncomfortable when they're sexualized?
I know the look when people wanna do that with me. I don't like it. But sometimes in the past it was 'flattering' to be acknowledged as worth something (even if vain for physical appearance), specifically because I don't feel valued or appreciated by anyone. For this I mean when I was just walking past someone or they were, so momentary and not prolonged.
Then sometimes (most of the time actually) I feel very uncomfortable and disgusted by it. It's just creepy and unsettling to me when people have eyes locked on me, with that specific smirk/smile on their face. And I just get this feeling like I should hide or get away, it's just unsettling.
I have a lot of experiences with this despite not showing interest in a relationship of any kind with anyone lol.
Do you relate?
