Is it normal to hate my asexuality, aromanticism?
So I'm starting to accept my asexuality/ aromanticism. I'm still not 100% sure tho, but I waited a long time like "C'mon man, feel some sexual tension or romance or anything like that, you did in the past what the fuck is wrong with you?" and nothing happened. Sometimes I'm okay with it like that's just how it is end of story but other times I fucking hate it. I'm thinking about family and wife and shit, like I want it but nah I don't. I want the happines that it holds, and I don't know where can I find it elsewhere. When I thought about life as a child it was a clear path. Learn, go to university, get a job, have a family, be happy. And now it's just a big empty space. You get a job you are like 25 and now what? I hate that I couldn't choose any of it.
I'm sorry if this is disrespectful, I'm just so confused I didn't know where to post this.

Does anyone else get weird vibes from the way asexuality is talked about in LGBT spaces?
Maybe it's just me but while I feel like I've been seeing ace folks get brought up alot more in pride discourse this year which is good but alot of it feels really weird and infantilizing. It feels like I just see alot of allosexual people make jokes about aces not knowing anything about sex, or variations on the joke about ace people eating garlic bread instead of having sex, which is kind of funny I guess when ace people make those jokes but it really feels like people are minimizing aces ability to have complex feelings around sex and sexual situations. I also feel like alot of allosexual people like to call themselves allies and tell other people what asexuality is without actually understanding how it works themselves. I barely ever see anyone bring up that aces can still feel aesthetic attraction and think that someone is really pretty but from what I've seen of how most people talk about it people don't even care enough to learn about that, they just kinda say "Aces don't want sex" and call it a day. Even in some of the ace subs it's not uncommon for someone to post a meme where the entire joke is that someone mis-understood a sexual situation and thought it was about Legos or some shit with the caption "I'm not ace but this made me think of you guys" and it's just so weird to me that people see a meme where the entire joke is that it's weird to not want sex and think "yeah this is the kinda stuff asexuals think is funny". Like I said maybe it's just me, but I guess I just wanted to vent about it

I'm not really ace at all, and I don't think I ever was.
I guess it was just a placeholder while I figured things out. I got a little too comfortable with the label, it was a safe in-between.
I knew for sure I wasn't a straight girl and thinking of myself like that made me feel really weird for some reason. I didn't think I was a lesbian either, because I didn't like women that way. So what was I?
It turns out it was the gender part that was wrong, not the attraction. I'm a gay man. It took me a long time to understand and accept that.
I must say goodbye to this community, and thank you for all the support you've offered me throughout the years. I am really glad that you have words to describe yourselves, and I do still strongly believe that asexuality is real and valid, it just wasn't me.
