my mom had that happen and it turned out there was a dead bug in her ear

this has been sitting in my inbox forever bc i kept forgetting to answer it but anyway here

i dont think it’ll go away but it’ll get better. theres more stuff you can do when youre 18, so for me it kinda helped bc i felt like i had a little more control of my life and i was actually getting jobs! c:

(2/2) being asexual but biromantic is something i like to establish before entering a relationship, to avoid going through another experience of begging, whining, or even manipulation to try to get me to have sex with my partner. i tend to not be shy about sharing it to avoid a future relationship with someone who would expect sex, but still make sure to list my romantic orientation to inform others i do indeed enjoy relationships

Hello, and that you for your question. I understand where you’re coming from, and I think it’s great to establish these things with your partner before entering a romantic relationship in order to foster reasonable expectations. I have no problem with label being important to people, or their usage to make communication and relationships easier. I take offense when people create these labels and use them to force themselves into other LGBT spaces, or act as if they are just as oppressed as others who are actually treated terribly for their sexual orientation, etc. What you’re doing is totally fine, but people who flaunt these labels in order to feel special and gain unneeded sympathy and special treatment are making a mockery of the LGBT movement and should stop. Again, what you’re doing is fine; it’s always good to inform your future partners of your expectations in relationships.
