Scared of men :x
Anyone else have a really hard time interacting with men because you're afraid they will hit on you or even just think about you in a sexualized way? There are two guys at my work that have shown some interest in me and I will start to panic whenever I see them off in the distance. They both seem like nice guys but I just get so freaked out by any attention at all :(
I think it might be due to being over-sexualized as a child. I went through puberty really early and developed at a young age. Adult men (like 30's-50's) cat-called me, asked me for my number, and made comments about my body at 10/11/12 years old. Is this something other ace people experience or is it more of a trauma thing?

Coming to terms with my sexuality felt like a weight lifted off my chest.

My partner cheated on me because I was asexual
I'm going to be honest. Being ace is difficult. My partner cheated on me because of my low sex drive. I was in a 6-year relationship with my girlfriend, and she always ranted to me about craving intimacy and sex and how she desperately wanted to have sex with a man. She told me these things while she was with me, and it made me feel so guilty that she saw the relationship as more of a burden than an actual one. She ranted about it so much to the point that she suggested me being a fucking cuck since I didn’t see “sex” as a big deal, but just because my viewing of sex is different doesn’t mean I’m okay with getting cheated on.. like??? But yeah, skip to a few months later, and it’s August; she called me on the phone and cried about how she had a nightmare that she slept with a man and whatnot. At first, I didn’t care because it was just a dream, but later, as the day continued, guess what! She confessed that the reason she didn’t talk to me the entire day yesterday was because she was getting dicked down by a 29-year-old catholic prick. He knew we were dating too; my girlfriend sobbed and claimed that “the sex didn’t mean anything, it was bad, “ and I told her, “I don’. t give a fuck if the sex was good or not; you still cheated on me.” And she continued to cry, whining how “You’re never gonna speak to me again after this.” And I was thinking, “Yeah, no fucking shit.. you’re right about that.” Honestly, I was a fool for believing she’d stay loyal. I trusted her; I gave her everything, even sent her fucking care packages while she was in foster care, and spent six years of my life trying my hardest to please her. I even went as far as to give my virginity to her, despite the fact I felt pressured to do it and utterly uncomfortable during the entire thing, but I pushed it aside to have sex because I knew that’s what she wanted. I truly believed that there’s no love if there’s no sex; it still hurts; I wanted the relationship to work out, and I even hoped to see her this October. But no, long-distance relationships can’t work, especially if one in the relationship is an out-of-control sex freak and the other is an asexual with zero libido. I just wish she would’ve told me sooner that she wanted to break up with me instead of cheating behind my back, just for a short lived sex moment.

AITAH for telling my asexual friend that I wish I wasn't asexual?
(using a friends account) I am asexual but struggle with internalized acephobia. I'm trying to accept myself, but I'm not there yet. I have one other friend who is asexual and proud, and I asked them if they would be up to talk to me about it. I told them that I often wish I was not asexual, and that I really want to work on that. I said this thinking that maybe they went through the same stuff when they realized they were asexual and could give me tips, as they are a lot older than me.
They later told me that me saying that I wish I wasn't asexual made them really uncomfortable, and that I shouldn't talk to asexual people about this because it will hurt them. They recommended some books for me to read instead.
AITAH for saying this to them? If another asexual person would talk to you about their internalized acephobia, would this hurt you?
I'm asking genuinely, I want to work on myself and thought that talking to other ace people could help me, but if it just hurts them I will stop doing it.
