No reactions to " coming out " as asexual as I've never felt the need to "come out"..... It's just who I am, it doesn't affect my life at all.... My relationships have always been very affectionate and intimate, just not sexual .....I have had very close friendships with people of the opposite sex, and people of all genders and sexualitys..... It's quit liberating being able to relate with people without sex being an issue.... Asexuality isn't part of my identity, it's not even a thing to me.... It's just me...

"Another one?"

For context, I somehow have a ton of friends on the ace spectrum. Idk why but I seem to gravitate towards them platonically or vice versa?

"Aw man, so I can't ship you with [some random kid] anymore?"

Asexuality is not a spectrum ffs. As one Panda rightly said, there is no 'coming out'.

Not me but my friend. He didn't really come out he just kind of figured it out while we were talking in family life and health. His parents never taught him about "when two people love each other very much . . ." so I helped explain to him when we learned it in class. Over the next couple days he came to the conclusion that he never wants to have sex or really be romantically involved with anyone but I'm pretty sure he said he is still questioning. Not really coming out but this was my only experience.
