I came out to my mom and it was a disaster

SHEESH what a fkn rollercoaster of misunderstanding.

I told my mom I was asexual a few days ago and she did her own research on it, which I appreciate her actually doing her own search but MY GOD THE OLDER GENERATION DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO NAVIGATE THE INTERNET.

When she researched what it was she gave a little pep talk today and said She found something about a woman who made herself into a real life Barbie and associated all aro/ace people with people who were like that? And then she also hit me with the “some people are traumatized and just shut down that part of themselves” and how she knew a girl who was r*ped and was against marriage until she just found the right person that fixed her! I said “I’ve never been through anything like that” and she’s like “I know but I’m just saying-“

Like I’m so pissed rn. WHAT IS HER POINT?? This was a big mistake. I honestly thought she wouldn’t make such a big deal over it or would be a bit more accepting. She validated my feelings but then invalidated OTHER asexual people by saying their broken and mentally ill basically and then just ended it off with saying not to associate myself with people like that. I just said “okay” to everything cause I was too angry at this point to say anything further honestly. Thank goodness it’s over and I learned my lesson never to open up to her about anything again.

Oof :(

Tw// aphobic opinions

A cool creator I found on a quiz website turned out to be aphobic :(. They seemed nice, we had similar political opinions, they were funny, and their quizzes were good. But they had one that was basically like 'do we have the same controversial opinions' and two of the questions were 'cishet asexuals shouldn't be part of the Lgbtq+ community' and 'demisexual isn't a sexuality, it's a preference, and they've never experienced oppression so they shouldn't be considered Lgbtq+' just like- ughhhhh. I'm sorry I just needed somewhere to say this bc it made me so mad. Anyways have a good day drink some water take your meds you're really cool bye :)

I recently told my sister I was Ace. A couple days later she sent me this video with the news that she added Ace keychains to her online store. 🥰😭🥳 Wanted to share because I felt loved. ♡

I’m so sick of my aphobic mom

So today, I told my mom about how I came out to someone today after they asked me. (I wanted to see her reaction, I was hoping MAAAAYBE she would be nice and supportive but no). She responded with asking me why I was “Advertising it” and said if someone asks again to tell them “I like kissing girls.” (gross). She also told me that I should get a girlfriend (more gross)

I honestly am so sick of this. I been out of the closet for several months and have EXPLAINED numerous times that my Sexuality will not changed (which she doesn’t believe). Anyways, that’s my vent over

Am I Ace?

I've had a roller coaster of a year realizing things about myself and I have questions that Googe doesn't seem to provide easy answers for.

So first off I can find people attractive or interesting and I want to be friends with them or closer with them but the idea of doing anything sexual with anyone is uncomfortable/terrifying.

I don't understand relationships. I have friends who are in long term relationships and they complain if they can't see their partner for a day or two and I don't understand because talking on the phone or texting would be good enough for me. I don't like doting on people or generally even understand when people are upset or emotional. I may be autistic but nothing officially diagnosed.

Yet despite all this I can still feel aroused or otherwise and I don't understand. This has only gotten stranger since I realized I was trans and started transitioning last year. Since them I have had even less interest in people and I'm just confused.

Guy I like rejected me for being asexual

Title. The confession happened a few days ago. Apparently he has considered dating me before, but decided that me being asexual would be a dealbreaker

I’ve known him for a few years and he’s always been a very supportive friend. It’s just that ever since the rejection, I’ve started to feel ashamed of my sexuality for the first time in 3 years. I’ve been starting to wonder why I had to be so “extra”, despite knowing that being ace is a part of me that I can’t exactly change. I’ve also started to wonder if anyone would ever accept me romantically for who I am

Sorry if this post is too negative and apologies for all the rambling. If anyone has been there before or just has advice in general please do drop a comment. If it matters, my friend and I are both 21

Hope y’all have a great day and thanks ahead of time!

My bf said I'm a waste for being curvy and ace.

I've always wondered what was wrong with me. I've been dating my bf for 8 months and we never had sex because I was uncomfortable but told him we will when I'm ready. I only came to the conclusion that I was asexual because it seems I have a hormone imbalance. I told my bf that I love him but I'm not sexually attracted to him because I'm realizing I'm ace. We've gotten in plenty of arguments before but he got Hella mad wen I told him I'm ace. He yelled at me and said that I'm wasting my body (I'm very curvy) and that I'm betraying him for not feeling like that with him. He punched me in the boob and called me a waste. He left my apartment and my mom woke up and held me. I tried calling him and he wouldn't answer any of my calls or texts but at 4 in the morning he texted me saying that no sleep respecting man would be with a girl that doesn't suck dick with huge knockers. Why even have big tits if I don't ge a guy off? I feel very hurt. I know I should've had sex with him before coming out as ace but I am just not attracted to anybody like that. Maybe I'm in the wrong. Idk. I wanna make it up to him. I looked up stories similar to mine and people said that the asexual people were selfish for getting together with someone who wasn't and it was never my intention to be selfish. Maybe I'm in the right. Idk.

I posted this on r/sex but I'm nervous that I'll get backlash because they are very anti-ace on there according to the internet so I scurried on over here instead lol.
