Hello :)


I am L

Recommended Posts

Um... hi :)

I discovered asexuality a few months ago and all I can say is that I'm so happy I found out about it. For a while I was wondering about my sexuality, but when reading the descriptions for many sexualities I never really found anything that felt like it represented me. I had previously thought that I was heterosexual, but as soon as I found the description of asexuality I realised that it perfectly described me. It felt great - for a while afterwards all I did was read as many things about it as possible. It seems I was confusing sexual and romantic feelings before... whoops :) Oh well, I'm here now :) Haha... I use too many smily faces... :)

Recently I've been having doubts. In the back of my mind I can't help but wonder if I'm too young to be sure, if I'm deluding myself, etc. I know the thoughts are silly and untrue but I can't seem to be able to get rid of them. Apart from my close friend who also identifies as asexual, I haven't told anyone else that I am, and as I'm extremely awkward and don't like to talk about my feelings much I can't really talk to anyone about my doubts.

Has anyone had the same problems and if you've overcome them how did you do it? Thanks... :)

Hello L! Welcome to AVEN!

That sounds a lot like my experience, actually. I called myself "heterosexual, as far as I know." Eventually, that caught someone's attention and I explained how I felt. She actually knew about asexuality and it's thanks to her I even heard about it. The more I learned, the more I realized that it described me perfectly.

I know that I am, at this moment, very, very ace. I have been ace for all 18 years of my life, I just didn't know it. If I become more sexual later on, that won't invalidate how I feel now. Sexuality can change. To me, what matters is how I feel at this moment.

PM me if you ever want to talk (about anything)!

Welcome to AVEN!! It's not silly; I can understand why you'd think that. If you're worried you're too young, just giving it time is helpful... and pretty simple too :lol:. Being too young is oftentimes not the case, though : ) I wish you luck on figuring it out and I hope you enjoy being a member here!!
