I can relate to your fears. When I came out as asexual to my mother, she just laughed it off and said she didn't believe me :/
But maybe it could be different for you? I mean, you never know until you try, and it really isn't the end of the world if people don't understand.

[joules-burn.livejournal.com]

Joining you on this one. I had a coworker who wouldn't get the clue about me not being interested, and when I told him that I was asexual (and then explained what that meant for him), he told me that that wasn't human.

And didn't catch a clue. :/

[absweetie.livejournal.com]

It really sucks, doesn't it? I've decided I'm not going to mention my orientation anymore, even if people ask. It just makes me really frustrated.

[demishock.livejournal.com]

One of the guys in my dorm at college was like that. He asked me what my "type" was, and when I told him I didn't have one, he was like, "Oh, so you like girls, then?" And I said, "I don't have a type. At all. Of any variety." His next question was, "So you're into bestiality?"

Suffice it to say that I never felt compelled to converse with him again. >__

[(Anonymous)]

Eerie; I remember having the exact same conversation, only in German. What made it a bit better was that the person I was talking to made it clear they were joking about the bestiality ^^'

[(Anonymous)]

that's sux, friend ;_: people can be so ignorant and rude! it's so much easier not to tell anybody - society here, where I live, is very !highly! intolerant. but if nobody says nothing about asexuality it almost like asexuality doesn't exist... so it's important to say, important to coming out...
sorry for my English - I'm nervous.

[cheshirecgrin.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I know what you mean. My friends are fine with me being asexual. My mom on the other hand thinks it's just a phase, that someday I will want BABIES, and that I won't know if I don't want sex until I've had it.

[absweetie.livejournal.com]

Fuck, that's awful. Thankfully my mom has pretty much accepted that I don't want babies, but I'm sure she thinks I'll "come around".

[leafing.livejournal.com]

It seems like the standard reaction is to either laugh it off and consider it a phase, or to assume that there is something horribly wrong with the person because they "must be broken somehow." :/

I've always gotten "You just haven't met the right _______" or "You wouldn't be that way if you weren't so fucked up."

[absweetie.livejournal.com]

I've always gotten "You just haven't met the right _______" or "You wouldn't be that way if you weren't so fucked up."

Ugh, that's terrible. It's stuff like that that makes me want to shake the person and say "Why can't we all just get along and accept everyone's different? ;_;"
We already have to deal with enough shit in our lives.

[nuclearxsquid.livejournal.com]

I agree :( I've gotten told that no I can't be asexual and that I will have sexual feelings for someone eventually. This was said by a girl who attended Gay-Straight Alliance meetings with me.

[(Anonymous)]

I went to a queer community counselor, hoping he would understand better since he worked with people who were different like me. The first thing he said after I told him I was asexual was "You just haven't met the right _______" I was like 0_o, and wondering how he would have felt had I told him, "You're not gay, you just haven't met the right woman."

[(Anonymous)]

IKR - I only told to one my RL friend ('cause he wanted to be my bf - I had no choice but to tell him) and to one my on-line friend... both of them were like : okeeey - someday you'll change your mind. that was a bit frustrating - they don't think it's serious and this IS (for me at least).

[absweetie.livejournal.com]

Telling you that you'll change your mind sounds so patronizing, I hate it. It's like they think you're still a kid figuring out their sexuality, when that's really not the case.
