Asexual individuals of Reddit, how did you come to the realization that you are asexual?
Recognizing my asexuality was a gradual process for me. Initially, I thought my lack of sexual attraction was just a phase or something I would eventually grow out of. I went through several experiences where I felt pressure to conform to societal expectations around sexuality, but I just didn’t feel that spark or desire for sexual relationships like many of my peers did.
The turning point for me was finding online communities and resources that discussed asexuality. I started to see my feelings and experiences reflected in the stories of others. Reading about the spectrum of attraction and realizing that many people felt as I did helped me put a name to my identity.
Ultimately, it was both a combination of self-reflection and connecting with the asexual community that helped me understand and accept my asexuality. It felt liberating to embrace this part of myself and to know that it’s perfectly valid to live without sexual attraction.
