Hi @Jardin,

I really appreciate opening up about your experiences navigating your sexuality. It definitely not an easy thing to do! I can really hear how alone and confused you feel about not fully relating to being asexual but also having a lack of desire for a relationship and sex. I personally have also struggled with feeling like I don’t have a strong desire for a relationship and sex but also always imaging myself having a partner one day. It sure can be confusing having these conflicting feelings! Social pressure and expectations (from books, movies, friends, family) about what age we should  have a relationship and sex makes it all the more harder 😔. It makes having these feelings not normal. How I deal with these confusing feelings is seeing sexuality as more of a spectrum than as a category or label. Each of us having our own levels of sexual desire, which can change at different times and situations. This way of thinking I feel is more flexible to how the really world operates. I hope this perspective may help you feel less alone and feel more okay about having these confusing feelings. Take care Jardin 😊.
