Purrple Cat Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hello there! I think most of us here can relate to that feeling of being broken or, at the very least, odd. And then realising there's a word for that, we're not alone and, in fact, everything's ok with us Welcome to AVEN! It's a tradition that new members get cake, so here's a dog cake for you 😊 Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Red Panda Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Welcome 💜 29 minutes ago, ThatPersonWhoWalksTheDogs said: I discovered there's a word for this being "a bit odd" thing. So that's me. I have friends who I am very close to and love dearly, I have a dog who I adore, I have parents and siblings who I love very much, and I am so happy to know that I do not need anything else to be a complete person. I'm happy that you feel complete as you are. There is nothing wrong with that and you should never be made to feel bad because you don't need another person to make you happy Link to post Share on other sites

Morays Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Greetings and welcome to AVEN! 🍰 For a long time I also felt like I was simply going to have to grin and bear it, since that's what the expectation was -- but like you, I've come to realize just how unhealthy that mindset is. I'm so happy to hear that you're in a good place and are comfortable with yourself! Link to post Share on other sites
Phantasmal Fingers Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 On 9/29/2020 at 2:35 PM, ThatPersonWhoWalksTheDogs said: ... I have zero desire for sex or for a romantic relationship. Not only zero desire but I actually do not want either of those. The idea just seems so not me. I don't even want to chohabitate with another person, really. I just want friends. I am very happy with just friends. ... I have friends who I am very close to and love dearly, I have a dog who I adore, I have parents and siblings who I love very much, and I am so happy to know that I do not need anything else to be a complete person. Exactly! 🙂 There are quite a few of us about! Welcome to AVEN! 🎂 Link to post Share on other sites

NickyTannock Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 @ThatPersonWhoWalksTheDogs A very belated welcome to AVEN! I love that mindset of being true to yourself. Societal pressure can all too easily convince us we're wrong to be happy how we are. It's a tradition here to welcome new members by offering cake, and even though I'm so late welcoming you, here's a "Sammie the Shih Tzu" cake, https://cakesdecor.com/cakes/246373-sammie-the-shih-tzu Link to post Share on other sites
