OP

I try not to box myself in or anything but I have to admit it can be really hard, especially when all my asexual friends are always really adamant about how they don't feel anything sexual at all, it makes me feel like I don't fit in even though I don't have any interest in sex and i'm not attracted to anybody.
I guess i'm just not used to having these kind of feelings and I guess I don't really like having them very much. I'm going to try to stay positive about it, though.

I'm not asexual, so take this with a huge block of salt, but -

I don't think your friends are doing this on purpose, but I think they themselves are being kind of "people in box"-y and you shouldn't base your definition of who you are on who they say they are. I'm guilty of doing the same thing, and it's hard to break out of, but it's true. I loved Kallanda's comment and it's completely true.

Also, from what I have heard - again, grain of salt - some asexual people feel arousal, some feel it a lot, some masturbate, and some even enjoy sex with specific people in specific situations. They are all still asexual.

And if your sexuality turns out to not be that specific? That's OK too.

You certainly don't have to talk about it to anyone who you don't want to talk about it with, but hopefully if you do at any point talk to your friends about this, they will be open-minded. :)
