Neocaridina Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I have been lurking on this forum for a couple of months now, so I thought I might as well introduce myself. I'm pretty shy so I don't usually post much online, but I think maybe I should try to become part of this community. Anyway, I am 22 and have known about asexuality for several years, but it has taken a while to realize that I'm ace and to accept this part of myself. Reading posts here has helped me realize that it is nothing to be ashamed of and that there is nothing wrong with me. Growing up sex/sexual attraction wasn't talked about much so it still feels uncomfortable to talk about sometimes. But I told my mother about my asexuality a few days ago and once I had explained what it is she was pretty supportive and said that she has no doubt that there have always been people like that. I'm currently studying computer science at university and apart from that I'm interested in music (playing and listening to it), and I also enjoy doing embroidery and being active outside. I'm very glad to have found this forum! Link to post Share on other sites

Lichley Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Welcome! What’s computer science like at university level? I do chemistry myself, but computer science is an interest of mine Link to post Share on other sites
JackieeMK Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Welcome!! You must be super smart because I tried to minor in computer science and (I don't know if you do these courses the same as we do in the States) I was so lost in Algorithm Implementation... Not to mention I was basically carrying my friend through that major who eventually switched lol. Anyway, I have mad respect for any comp sci people out there Link to post Share on other sites
Neocaridina Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 @Lichley I really enjoy it! It's a nice mixture of theory and practice. And I actually seriously considered studying chemistry, I think it's fascinating as well! Link to post Share on other sites

Carbon-12 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Welcome to AVEN! 🍰 Love your username, do you have any pet shrimp? I had a brief stint with cherry shrimp but unfortunately my water's too hard for them, they had difficulty molting 😔 Link to post Share on other sites
GuildedGoblin Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hello, I joined earlyer this year and I finally found where to introduce my self. I'm 19( about to be 20 in November) I found out I was ace aro when I was pressured into a relationship and felt weird I actually ended up going to other girls I knew and asking them to tell me how I was supposed to feel. My family with the exception of my brother is pretty lgbtq fobic so I have not come out to them i am relly greatful for this community you all are so welcoming and accepting.
