Told my Muslim friend from the Middle East that I'm ace.
I was raised in a Christian household, so I have an idea how some religious people can react to finding out someone they know isn't "normal". So I heasitated a bit on this, but figured ah well, they're a pretty awesome person. They might be cool with it. So I decided to speak up when a topic naturally went in the direction of attraction. They were the first person I told, and they were super cool with it! They had some misconceptions about what that meant, but asked me to explain and were super respectful about everything. Any time they asked me a question, the question started with something like "I'm so sorry if this is rude of me to ask" or "I really hope I'm not being offensive or anything" even though they definitely didn't need to do that. Nothing they said was offensive at all. They were super supportive and told me that they'd look into asexuality more to better understand my experiences. It's been a couple weeks now, and literally nothing has changed in our friendship. They're the only person I've told, so now they get all the memes I relate to and all the frustrations I happen to think about. They're heckin' awesome.
Just wanted to share that because it made me happy, and it was my first time even talking about asexuality outside of reddit. :)

Hearing people talk about sex grosses me out to the point I want to vomit and feel my heart tighten. Why is this happening?
My friend was telling me about their sex life. And just the idea of a person I know having sex makes me feel that way. Why is this happening? I want to be a good friend but I also don't want to feel like that all the time I hear about something sexual. Please help. At this point I'm considering abandoning all my friends to make sure I don't feel like that ever again.
