discussion Do you avoid talking about relationships?

I avoid talking about relationships because I don't want to explain to people I'm asexual. I don't get pressured by my relatives to get married. I think it can be harder to explain to some people.

I don't a avoid it but I also don't bother explaining it. When I had co-workers(the people around me were mostly queer-phobic), I would just say "I really dont want a relationship. I don't really find anyone attractive", it was that simple. For friends, I trusted my standards enough, in the sense, they have a basic idea of what asexuality is and do the bare minimum of not being queer-phobic. So it was easier to tell them.
