"oh dont worry. that isnt real, you'll start wanting to do things soon."

It seems that the best thing about being asexual is being assured how young you are.

[Mr._Nobadi_M._Portent]

Well, there goes their argument for "only ugly/unattractive people are asexual because no one wants them anyway.😁"

Hard being in the minority.

I feel I don't owe anyone, including my mom an explanation! I have the right to be who I am! People really don't care about you that much anyway.
