So, today I found a girl pretty at work. I said, wow she’s beautiful holy crap. My coworker (cis male) then started to tell me I should go talk to her etc I said “no, I don’t wanna talk to anyone, I like being single and having myself” I didn’t know what else to say. He brought it up all day! He told another coworker while someone else was there that I liked her and needed to talk to her. I said, again “no, I don’t wanna talk to her like I said, I don’t want anyone” He was like we all want someone I said “I don’t desire that or sex or anything like that, but I think she’s pretty and others are too it’s aesthetically”
One of them questioned it and I said “you ever heard of asexual?” He said “yeah but I don’t know about it” and the other guy said “he just doesn’t understand” (I love that one he’s so so nice to me all the time). Later the guy who questioned me about it said something and I honestly don’t even remember what it was I said “some of us just don’t want to have sex, or like hugs or kissing like I don’t” he said “what’s wrong with you I can’t believe what I’m hearing right now” I just kinda walked away and said “we exist”.
That was the first time I’ve ever publicly said something about being ace. It didn’t go badly but also, I just wish that no one had to question it or make comments. I don’t understand, why they do that. Maybe I just shouldn’t say anything about people being pretty or anything. I mean it was my fault for even stating she’s pretty right? I don’t know really but it sucks that there’s millions more people who feel like that. I don’t think I’m ever going to come out to anyone else. I’m kinda like frustrated? It’s not that hard to grasp is it?
