I ask this because it can, at times, feel really lonely because of how...invisible it is still(how many people are even aware of said existence?). There seems to be nobody offline to relate to in this regard and, even when mentioning it on rarer occasions, people just seem to find 'whatever it is' to be frickin' weird. Just a simple question is all.
2 people in my schools gsa are ace! One of whom I have known from elementary school, rather than GSA.
A friend of mine is. He's a really good guy, very caring. It took him a while to realize he was asexual, but now he's better off (happier, I mean) now that he knows.
My sister is asexual, heteromantic. My best friend is asexual, aromantic. We technically met online but have talked IRL too, so I think it counts.
I am ace (or maybe gray-ace, not sure at the moment). Haven't met anyone offline that I know to be ace, but I would not be surprised at all if my sister is ace.
My best friend may be ace. Trust me, you are not as alone as you think. People are often pressured to remain closeted by tensions in their social environment.
I consider myself to be somewhere on the asexual spectrum, and nope, never met anyone who is. Up until a couple years ago I didn't even know where was this.
Wow, I have even worse luck than I thought. Didn't expect this to blow up like it did. Another reason why I like having this site as an outlet of sorts. Thanks for the notices thus far. Around here, simply the concept is just considered 'f*cking weird'(<---actually got called that, except w/ weirdo when I indirectly made mention of myself to someone on the matter), if not a myth. That's why I've felt the way I have; people think it's (damn near) impossible for someone to not go through sexual attraction and/or instantly link asexuality as some kinda disorder. I've stopped even bringing the subject up because it can feel like a 'you vs the world' topic.
One of my friends is asexual (not sure if grey-A). I honestly never thought I'd ever meet one aside from myself, but surprise surprise. I totally understand when it comes to feeling like few people understand asexuality. I had such a hard time explaining asexuality to one of my best friends when I told her I thought I was asexual; she didn't "get" it, and it didn't help that I couldn't explain very well.
