Hey Asexual Pandas, What Were People's Reactions When You Told Them You Were Ace? (Closed)

I don't usually go around telling people I'm A-sexual. It does make it awkward in relationships. I feel pressured to make my boyfriend feel good by telling him his body turns me on. Not saying I don't like his body. I'm just not into sex and don't feel sexualized seeing his body.

Told my friends over online message during deep COVID. Most of their responses were "Oh that explains a lot" or "what the f*ck does that mean"

Tried to tell one friend, got super flustered and she was just like "You'll meet someone eventually". Otherwise closeted :). Although if you guys have any ideas for coming out, I'd be glad to hear them!!

I've never told anyone... can't be bothered explaining it to people. it's just how i am...

Told to one of my best friends- they were like "maybe you havent found the right person?" But I explained that what they said was a bit homophobic and they were like "oh ok" and were very accepting

a mix between, "Your still pretty young, how do you know?" "Oh! me too!" "You should be at your age" and "What's that?"

Friends are mostly queer so they were cool with it- can't really remember it honestly my parents said I'm too young and that it's normal for someone my age...

" oh youre gay? Ok"

I consistently get told "just wait until you're in your 30s and married with 3 kids, you'll laugh at yourself" or other c**p like that

Ok just to start I'm ether ace or demi sexual but I told someone and they went "so you just realized?"

"it's just a phase, honey." -_-

basically "but you're still so young!" and "how did you even find out about that concept?"

"What's that mean?"
*tells them*
"Oh cool."
