I actually have been for over a year and I’m happy it’s more others make me feel estranged for not craving physical touch and connection. I just genuinely don’t understand why others crave that, it makes me feel icky in a way idk I just feel so out of place with the whole thing

I promise I won’t, ig my only question is how did you know for sure that you were. I feel like I could go my whole life without intimacy but I don’t want to be alone either. I’m just not interested in that aspect of relationships and idk why.

That’s part of how I found out. I had suspicions cause of trauma but I feel like it was confirmed after I had sex with someone I felt safe with. I just don’t feel sexual attracted to anyone. The one time I did it was mainly just the physical affection part. I’ve never felt the need to take it further and I’ve never understood how it’s a “need” for so many people. I think I assumed I wasn’t ace at first cause I knew I was romantically attracted to men.
