Ragonolf Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hello, I'm Ragonolf. I'm Asexual Aromatic and I've figured out that I was 3 years ago. I came out to my friends about 6 months ago. When I did my friends didn't understand and were very judgemental against me after that. Most of them stopped talking to me and no longer wanted to be around me anymore. It hurt a lot and I felt like something was wrong with me. So after that I did some more research and found out more about myself. I still don't have many friends but I come to accept who I am now that I understand more about it, but I feel I have a lot I can learn yet. So that's my story. I look forward to meeting new people and I hope I can make friends here. Link to post Share on other sites

Orianaro Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yaaaay Another Canadian, I see And aromantic/asexual on top of that. I've never really come out to a lot of friends. I explained it as I was figuring it out to one group, and the LGBTQ-savy ones were really excited, supportive and helpful and then others kind of didn't seem to care. I'm not in as close contact with that group, and I got the impression that the uncaring ones never actually understood that this was important to me and it was more "she's just saying she's never liked anyone yet, why do I care again?" That was a little frustrating. I've found that its often easier to not explain yourself unless you really think they'll understand or at least care about you enough to try. But yeah, welcome Lots of cake to you! Link to post Share on other sites
Lichley Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Welcome! Those “friends” of yours clearly didn’t care enough to give you the time of day. You’re a lot better off without them. As someone whose had a lot of toxic friendships, I can honestly say that having a small group of very close, trustworthy friends is so much better than having a lot of “friends”. You’re an amazing person, and you deserve happiness. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise Link to post Share on other sites
