Rosendust Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I'm relieved, because when/if I explore another relationship-I'll be straightforward and make sure they know beforehand so that if they don't feel like they can handle it, they don't have to. Link to post Share on other sites
Haywire Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm glad I'm ace, insofar as I have a label for what I am. I've never understood the appeal of sex, or wanted into a relationship, and to know that It's totally fine to not want things saves me a lot of stress. (I'm naturally a fairly stoic person. . .maybe stoic isn't the right word? I'm fairly good at bottling negative emotions to release in private later.) Anyway, not wanting that and thinking I should want or need it stressed me out a lot, even if I've never shown it. It made me feel. . .defective, somehow. So most of the time I'd be able to force that down, but I would just sit around feeling shitty sometimes because of it. So... Yeah, I'm happy I'm ace, because having a label for what I am stops me from Identifying as "damaged goods", or "bad at being straight." Link to post Share on other sites

iwannagayhorse Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Not really. Sometimes I shed a tear because of that. Link to post Share on other sites
texpika96 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Since realizing i'm demisexual ? a lot happier and at peace now. it feels like i finally came to terms with myself on something and therefor i accept myself for who i am, i just hope i won't hate myself for it but i'm feeling i won't. so yup a lot happier now and i can focus on other issues i have on myself and on my life. ^^ Link to post Share on other sites
Lucy in the sky Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I was at first... but now it usually feels alienating. 😔 I look at my friends who are in a relationship, sometimes wishing that I could have that too. I don't feel the need to get into a relationship, but I do wonder what being "normal" in that sense would be like... I haven't tried dating anyone because I frankly had no interest, but there have been people whom I liked intellectually or I was drawn to their character, sense of humor, etc. I have wondered what it would be like, if anything could happen... but I always end up realizing that my aversion to physical contact would probably kill any possibility of success... That hurts sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
