LGBTQIAP+ Milestones: Book 3

Asexual and Questioning

By Swifteye

~

I'm an Asexual sophomore. I have known I'm Asexual for some time, and I finally told my friends and family, who are very accepting.

I'm lucky, because I am homeschooled and almost all of my friends are Bi, Trans, Homosexual, or otherwise part of the LGBTQ+ community.

I am still, however struggling somewhat, as I think I might also be bi/pansexual.

I don't have sexual attraction to people, and talk of sexual things or even kissing makes me feel uncomfortable, however I do have romantic attraction, and I am not sure what else to call pan/bisexuality. I have one friend I have had a crush on and now am in love with, and I have liked them for 2+ years, but I am scared to tell him, not for fear of rejection, but because I am just not sure how. At various times, I have also had crushes on many of my female friends, but never told them either.

I only get romantic feelings for people I have know for a long time, hence why I think I may be pansexual, but I'm still not sure.

However, I'm great full for my friends and family supporting me, and I hope to pass on their support to others in the LGBTQ+ community who need it.
