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?

Coming out didn't go perfectly

So I bought an asexual flag yesterday, and it kinda turned into me coming out. Here's the conversation we had:

Mum: what flag is that?

Me: asexual.

Mum: so... Are you just collecting flags at this point?

Me: no, I am asexual.

Mum: so you just... Don't feel sexual attraction to anyone? Ever?

Me: I can still have relationships... I just don't want sex.

Mum: well, I can almost guarantee that will change in 10 years time!

It pisses me off because I know I'm not attracted to people sexually, and I know this because I am aegosexual. I know what that sexual feeling is supposed to be like and I just... Don't feel it with other people. I was too embarrassed to try and explain so I'll have to try again soon. :/

I like anime, but I have a problem with it

I like anime for the way it can explore crazier concepts and situations than western shows and live action can. But anime likes big boobs. I find them unpleasant.

I guess it’s a personal problem. It’s not that I have a problem with real people who have big breasts as long as I don’t have to see them, but anime characters will have them just out with tight clothes and massive cleavage. When an anime character has large breasts, it’s all I can see, and I find it very unpleasant. I automatically think less of the character and the show, and am disappointed that it’s sacrificing the story and what may otherwise be a good character for fanservice.

I’ve been enjoying Sonny Boy this season. It’s about a bunch of students and their school drifting through different dimensions and developing crazy superpowers. First they’re in a black void, then a tropical island in an ocean that extends forever in all directions. It’s weird and crazy and has a nice art style and movement and I love it. I was glad there were no excessively sexualized characters. But then at the end of episode 4 a teacher with massive breasts and lots of cleavage shows up, and I felt myself deflate. I can only hope it doesn’t effect my enjoyment of the next episode.

Anyone else have something like this happen?
