I've been openly ace for about ten years now and still get people asking when I'm going to start dating or assuming that I'm gay when I don't show interest in women, or vice versa. Hell, every year when I make an Ace Pride Topic in June, people on this very board decide to come in and say asexuals are just "in denial". One absolute trophy of a person even said I was just "trying to justify being an incel". WTF Crimsoness posted... I have this same problem and it was exacerbated when I identified solely as a lesbian You still feel this way, even when not identifying as lesbian anymore? Like, were you experiencing imposter syndrome as a lesbian, now you experience it because you're not a lesbian? Funkydog posted... 'As a bi' I often feel this if I'm not dating my own gender. Can often feel very 'straight' as well at times and not sure I can do much to change that. I felt this way, too. Reinforced by gay men constantly invalidating my own sexuality. If it's people doing this to you, then you just cut them out. If it's your own brain? Then I think that maybe a little therapy might be in the cards, if you can afford it? --- This rant was brought to you by your local random thinker. I'm as Canadian as Wayne Gretzky crashing a snowmobile into a moose. - JIC X <cite>Xenogears15 posted [p:979057004] in As someone... [t:80706496]...</cite> <quote>TMOG posted... </cite><quote>Yep.
