I just texted my friend Happy Pride and He used to call us the "Bi Buddies" because we both thought we were bisexual and then he told me he was panromantic asexual, so natually I texted him "you're my pan pal now my dude" and sent him a picture of his flag and I always get nervous talking to him about it because for a while he was denying it and wouldn't talk to me about it and he goes through it from time to time and neither of us know how to react and I don't know if he gets nervous talking about that stuff, but I certainly do. Is that normal?
Welp I just came out to my half sisters over the phone and they legit cheered. I almost cried, it made me so happy. Why can’t coming out always be like this? It feels so nice.
that's amazing max!
yeah, that sounds really nice-
Ha, when I came out to my mom, we were eating dinner, and she almost choked. At the time I was certain I was mainly bi. Buuutttt That Bisexual dude is trans. so does that make me even more gay??
okay. Side note : my mom just walked in with scrap cardboard, and said, Here use this for crafts. There is like, 25 here. RUBIX CUBES HERE I COME!!.
IT'S HERE
I have to get a ring adjuster, it's slightly too big cause its a lot narrower than I expected, but eeeee
yay!
we were at walmart earlier and they had rings, including black rings, but I couldn't get it
I never wear rings so mom would be confused, and there's no way I could've gotten it without telling her I'm ace, and it's not that I think shell react negatively or anything I'm just bad and awkward at talking and idk how to tell her
well this turned out longer than I had planned but I still want an ace ring
I want one to wear at school and everywhere that is not parent filled. Not sure how I'm supposed to acquire one without them though
One time I noticed the acquaintance who sat behind me in drivers ed was wearing a black ring, and I got way too excited.
I was like "Ace???" And pointed at his ring.
He was like "What?"
And so I said "Are you asexual? Ace-spec?"
And he was like "What's that" and then I ended up explaining the asexual spectrum and our niche little tradition and I came out to him in the process. That was probably weird for him. He's not ace, he just likes wearing black rings on his right hand middle finger.
Driver's ed was one of the worst experiences of my life
My parents have put on an episode in which a kid lies about calling a sexual fantasy phone number or some shit and I don't know if my parents are trying to tell me they know I lied about something (which in recent, I haven't), but either way I am deeply uncomfortable and nearly fully ready to come out as ace. And it's too loud for me to drown it out with my earbuds
Who would purposefully put something like that on TV to watch for fun
Its normally a good show
I'm realizing that my parents have basically used 80s sitcoms to give us talks like this instead of actually talking to us and I don't feel great about that but I suppose it's less awkward than actually talking
TV raised all of us, partially.
Are you worried about how they'll react to your ace-ness?
I'd also have to explain that I'm not having kids or getting married and they'll be upset so yes. For now my not dating doesn't concern them and all throughout college as well if I'm questioned I plan on just saying that I'm focusing on school because it's easier.
I tried to come out as demi to my mom once by giving her some new vocabulary and explaining different types of attraction. We ended up talking about crushes and she refused to believe that I never had/didn't have a crush on some of my male friends. I tried to explain that some people don't experience crushes or attraction at all, but I didn't use ace-spec words because if she looked them up and saw all the queer stuff, that'd be bad for me. I never got anywhere with that conversation. She did say "So what? Not everyone struggles with lust," which I guess is close enough. Pretty sure she thinks I'm allo-het though.

Not so out of place for me cause I occasionally wear rings and jewelry, but I only started cause I was in a metalsmith class. Could you say a friend was wearing a cool one and you wanted to try wearing rings? It's not uncommon for people to change up and do something different like makeup or jewelry
Also i'm technically not out, but only for the same reasons lol. Pretty sure my mom thought i was just gay for a while, now she always says things like "if you dated anyone [insert if you had to pick question]"
The highlight best question this week was, "If you dated people, would you go for more of a chris evans or a chris hemsworth?"
So, I'm having the first proper sleepover with my girlfriend tomorrow and my mother just came into my room and said "Now, [gf]'s mother had the talk with her and I said I would too." and I quote- "When you're over there, no hanky panky or anything, okay?"
Mother, I am ace, she is ace, we are both ace.
Stop. This is the second time.
