    Hi, I'm comicbookgirl. I have Asperger's Syndrome and I have been struggling with my sexuality for years. I recently came to believe I am pansexual, as I am more interested in personality than gender, but I am still not 100% sure. It's been very confusing for me, and I lack any support near-by to discuss these issues, so I came here.

    I am sorry this is so short, I really am unsure of what to say.

    I am a big Gambit fan, and I tend to read every comic book he is in. But if I had to choose, I would say X-factor, which unfortunately is getting canceled in a few more issues. I think I am getting a divorce from Marvel over this, and just sticking to back issues.

    Thank you for the welcome.

    Hi Comicbookgirl! Welcome to EC :slight_smile: I'm happy to meet someone else who loves comics -- though I usually wait for the trades to come out before starting. I just can't take all the waiting. Lol.

    Hi comicbookgirl! :slight_smile: It's nice to meet you. I kinda quit comics cold turkey a ways back, but I do enjoy back issues.

    This is a good place to talk about your feelings and your confusion. :slight_smile: We're all friends here.

    It's nice to meet you, Ophelia! I try to get the issues when they come out. It can be a bit difficult, but it is worth it to read them hot off the press. I do collect trades of issues I may have missed, or if I want to try and keep my comic books in near mint condition. XD

    Thank you, Mirko. This has been quite a trip for me, and I am hoping to find the support I need and to figure things out.

    Hi there and Welcome to EC,

    I think don't stress or worry, you will figure it more out as you go along.. I originally came it the determination I was bisexual, but the more I am here, I feel I am pansexual but I am just going with sexual fluidity and that it can change at times, bi/pan are almost kind of interchangeable at times I think, just focus on knowing you are attracted to people's personalities and when you meet someone, you will know just now much or now little you can connect with someone, or you might be attracted to a man or a woman and then get to know them more and then decide if you wanna go further by their personality.. Try not to worry, its nothing to be concerned about.

    Just know you are amongst friends and people who wanna support you and help you here.

    Thank you all for the warm welcome. I am starting to feel a little better and not like bawling my eyes out in frustration and confusion, now. :slight_smile:
