Re: I've just realized I'm bisexual and (rant about sexuality, so very sorry)

People generally suck, OP. They suck because it's usually too difficult and counterintuitive for them to really try to understand the world from someone else's position. Rather than try to change that whole cloth (although sometimes it's worth it to try to change someone's mind if they are willing to listen and receptive to change) it's usually just best to try to find a good balance of not giving a shit about what they think of you and still caring enough to educate when necessary.

In other words, it's okay to write people off as ignorant assholes some of the time so that the garbage they've been taught to spout doesn't affect you too deeply. That's just looking out for your own well being. But don't blame them too much, sometimes you will have the opportunity to change someone's mind, and you should always take that opportunity if you want the world to change eventually.

P.S. You are the only person who gets to decide if you are sexual, and being sexual is as simple as wanting to have sex (whatever kind of sex it may be) with someone. Whether or not you are sexual, keep in mind that this status can and does change! Our physiology, hormones, and attitudes are not static and you might find yourself feeling sexual for a while only to go back to feeling asexual later.

I do wish that I can just ignore people but it can becomes so exhausting, especially when you are the type of person who cares too much about what others thinks of you no matter how much you wish you aren't.

I don't blame people who buy into bigotries they grow up with, after all I grew up with them too. I do try to correct people when I can, fortunately most people I know can be pretty open minded.

Thanks for your advice. I did think that the asexuality thing may change, since I didn't know if it has to do with me being socially awkward. Appeparently it also partly repressed sexuality. Ha. For now I'll just go with bisexual.
