I think I am asexual
I always figured I couldn't be "ace" because asexual people do not experience sexual attraction. But recently I discovered that a lot of ace people enjoy erotic fanfic and that sort of thing. As long as it's someone else, not them. I think that's me.
I sometimes find myself wishing I was in a sexual relationship. In theory. But any time anyone expresses interest, I immediately shut down and feel extremely uncomfortable. I tell myself things like, "I wouldn't want to subject another person to my body." But if I'm honest, I think that's me projecting my own feelings onto someone else.
2024 EDIT: I have come to think this label doesn't really fit me. I don't think it was wrong to try it on for a time. Everything I said here are still issues I struggle with. But I am slowly learning to work past them. Some days are better than others.
