It's so normalized, and so I feel like for most of my life I was used to it all, just assuming it was normal to feel uncomfortable at such a young age. However, when my peers and classmates started expressing themselves in sexual ways, like talking about what they wanted from a man or what their size was, did it really click that something wasn't right with me. It was only when I discovered asexuality back around the beginning of 2022 did I realize that all those times I'd pick some random boy as my crush despite feeling indifferent, or literally break down in the shower trying to convince myself that one day I'd have to have sex with a boy because that's what I was supposed to do, weren't normal.

Now that I've figured out why I wasn't feeling the same emotions and passions that everyone else around me was, I'm so much happier. I can enjoy my life without believing that it is mandatory for me to fall in love and have sex because that's the norm. I love exploring asexual media and finding other people like me, it's a constant reminder that there are other people like me that can relate and share experiences.
