ilovecats Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 my dad when I was 15: "This is a list of things I don't want your future boyfriend to have/be.........." my dad when I was 20: "I think you should go out more... meet some guys..." I'm secretly hoping for the day he'll suggest I addopt a cat to start my little family =^.^= #asexualproblems I can relate to this one, for me it when like this: -At 15-16: I´m so proud of you that you´re not going out and getting yourself pregnant. -20-21: Are you a lesbian? Seriously, make up your mind Also, not knowing if the guy you were talking to thinks you were hitting on him because your friendly with everyone #asexualproblems 26 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soraiko Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 When your friends gets a new significant other, 1) not realizing it until it's explicitly told to you, 2) not realizing they're probably having sex until someone says so. I really know waaaaay too much about people's sex lives, I.E. I know anything about them at all. 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
House of Chimeras Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 First time going to a Gay Straight Alliance group meeting - head of the group gives a little speech as it was their first meeting of the semester about how the group is really for all people in the LGBT+ community Gay, straight, trans, pansexual, [] but then adds as an aside though if anyone was asexual, I don't know why they would be here (He didnt know we were ace.) It was really confusing and weird. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pyrate Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 - Relapsing into gender identity crises because according to society, your father, and 91% of media, you're 'not a man' until you've had your first lay. - Consistently having to reject others' courtship and feeling guilty over every broken heart - Losing street cred as a pirate captain because you don't sleep with every random woman you chance across - Being called a pervert after staring at someone in the mall for a good five minutes, and then being called a fag after explaining no, you weren't admiring her body, you were admiring her coat, the intricate paisley design woven into the leather of which is indicative of stellar craftsmanship, and wherever did you get it because I need a new winter jacket anyway and it's really quite nice. - Cleavage #Asexual Problems 25 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zash Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 - Consistently having to reject others' courtship and feeling guilty over every broken heart THIS. Has happened to me a few times, and I feel horrible each time it happened. I think it was worse when I did it unintentionally, because I don't get a chance to explain why I am rejecting them. "I'm not into girls/guys." usually softens the blow a little bit. 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

STLynnthoria Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Realizing you're asexual and may have to explain to your therapist that the reason you gush about Tom Hiddleston so much is because he seems like the PERFECT cuddle buddy. #AsexualProblems I dunno why, but every time I think about how that conversation is gonna go, I just feel reaaaallly emberassed lol. 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhatIsItErin Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I brought cookies to my church group for asexual awareness week, I was freaking out a little, doin' the being brave thing and all, but nobody even knew what I was talking about (they did like the cookies though) (and ever since then someone has brought some kind of bakery item to share so it wasn't a total loss ehehe) I feel like an overgrown child or a puppy sometimes, doing my own thing and trying to interact with people through humor or trying to make them happy, and I feel like I can expect polite nodding or pats on the head but never really acceptance. I'm totally into the online fanart scene; anime, sherlock, etc. etc. etc., and soooo much of the stuff that people draw relates to or implies characters in canon or imagined sexual relations, and it bothers me to be surrounded by image after image of random characters all hot for each other, it's like noooo I don't want to think about that noooooooo.... and it's just everywhere T^T I totally appreciate that people are drawing what they want and I wouldn't dream of telling them to stop, but I don't have to like or be comfortable thinking about what they are drawing T^T 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

physace Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 That moment when you join your friends' pervy jokes conversation and you find it funny because you've no idea what you're actually saying. And then they explain it to you and what pops into your head is a massive "whaaat?" followed by a squint. #AsexualProblems 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheJaneWay Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Walking into a room and being asked spontaneously "So, K, are you sleeping with <friend's name> then?" Me: "Wait, what? No! No, of course not! We aren't even close..." So confused, and not a little disturbed. Do people really think we're together?

Quintus Crinis Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Ooh, here's one from the other day. "Wow, /X/ really looked good in that movie!" "If you're asexual, how do you find /X/ attractive?" #asexualproblems Definitely get this one - though I've also had people assuming that finding someone attractive means that I have a libido (on one occasion the person even tried to explain to me how romantic/aesthetic/sensual attraction were all inherently linked to sexual attraction and a libido. Claiming that their "research" of apparently nothing was more valid than my experience of being asexual. :( 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jin Kisaragi Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Gotta remember this asexuality is a blessing and a curse. Don't let the alienation overwhelm you.. don't let it skew your view of the rest of the world. #aceproblems 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
