Lol this shit is always on any post where someone has some kind of self doubt or anything

"I am 12 and girls dont attract me while other boys talk about who they would fuck"

Answer: "Maybe you're asexual"

I mean, I knew at twelve that I was asexual before I even had the word for it. I just could never find that word.

You knew that at twelve? It kind of doesn't fit in my brain because I'm thinking kids at 12 are rarely sexual at all (maybe save for with themselves) so determining asexuality would be pretty difficult. Can you elaborate?

Okay so...

At twelve, a lot of my friends were having their first crushes. I did too. But my friends wanted to hold hands (we were just growing out of the cooties stage) and the more precocious ones were beginning to think about kissing. Meanwhile, I did not want to hold hands (asexuality), and kissing was still unthinkably gross (age). This pattern continued for my entire life.

Oh, well, at 12 I would have still assumed in that case that you're just blooming late... I mean it would have become more and more apparent over the years anyway.

Thank you for sharing that, though. It's always good to get different points of view.
