Hey Pandas, Share The Reactions To Coming Out On The Asexual Spectrum (Closed)

What are some reactions you have had from friends and family to coming out on the asexual spectrum?

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?

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.

I always thought the idea was disgusting and never really got why people seemed to enjoy it so much. I never needed to 'come out' exactly because its just who I am and seeing as I'm pretty sure I'm aroace I just avoid getting a partner in general. Most people dont really care if I do tell them unless I tell them because they wanted to go out with me then they' try to change my mind. And a couple of people have called it a 'phase'.
