EverythingForEveryone Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 So I finally admitted to my self and a small number of people that I'm asexual & aromantic. It feels like such a weight has been lifted off my soul. I have felt so alone and broken for over three decades. I spent half of that time in a relationship I really should have bailed on a long time ago. I ended up suffering some much abuse that I have CPTSD. I'm really glad to know that there are lots of people out there like. I think I'll figure out how to work through this but right now I'm overwhelmed with regret for my younger self. It's hard not to think about how much pain and suffering I might have been saved if I had embraced myself when I was younger. I tried to explain this to family and friends but no one understood anything about asexuality back then. I'm kind of an emotional mess right now. I'm cycling through such a wide range of emotions. I'm kinda all over the place but I just wanted to say hey y'all and hopefully make a few new friends. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EverythingForEveryone Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 The cake looks beautiful. What's the connection with being ace and cake? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Welcome @EverythingForEveryone🍰🧁🍰 So sorry you had to go through all that. I hope you'll find support in our community ❤️ Recently realized I am asexual, let me tell you my mind was blown when i read the real, proper definition of asexuality for the first time. I was like: "But... but... THAT'S ME!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EverythingForEveryone Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 Yeah the more I read the more I'm like well damn that's. I want to go back in time and tell my highschool counselor I'm depressed because I'm ace and no one will listen to me. It's not because I'm on drugs. That one stuck with me.
