Peaceandlove67 Article: It's Hard Being Asexual

I didn't intend on Письмо this originally, but I just felt like venting, so here I go. Being asexual isn't easy, but it's part of who I am. I can't exactly change that. What's hard is some people can't accept it.

I thought that I wouldn't be bullied once I was in college. I still get bullied for being asexual. It's indirectly, unlike when I was in high school. At least, I'm not getting beat up for it.

I overheard one person saying that the reason I'm asexual is that I can't get a date. I could if I wanted to. I have been asked out by a few people, but I turned them down. They just weren't my type. One of them didn't even like rock and roll. That's a deal breaker for me.

For the longest time, I've actually been afraid to date. When I was in high school, there was one guy who told me that I would like sex if I tried it. He then told me to meet him after school. I did not meet with him. I went straight home. I'm sure if I had met with him, he would have raped me. After opening up to some of my Друзья here about it, Layla pointed out to me that I shouldn't let just one incident make me afraid of dating. I'm not currently looking. I'm waiting for romance to find me.

BingoPB I'm sorry you're having a hard time, Antonia. I hope those people who make fun of you don't have any friends. They don't deserve them, especially not a wonderful friend like you. Only a few people know about me being asexual, and I think I'll keep it that way.

80smusiclover1 I agree with Kayla. Those bastards are just losers. Remember that you are very special no matter what they say about you. *Hugs*

Rubyrings They don't get it, that's all there is to it. And they don't deserve to have you around. I can't believe they assumed that just because you haven't had any dates means you "can't" get any.

Peaceandlove67 *returns hugs* Thanks, everyone.

Roldan13 Antonia, don't pay them any mind. They just don't know anything about anything. You're a great person. Remember that.

Peaceandlove67 Thank you, Jill.

ktichenor I'm so sorry that happened. Those people are just jerks! Tbh I went through some of the same things with so called friends while I was struggling to figure out what I was so I understand. Just remember you're a strong and great person and we're here for you, always. *hugs!*

This is what a Canaan Dog looks like.

As the months passed, Hillel and I were becoming very close. As we approached our Рождество break, (or winter break in Hillel's case), we agreed to keep in touch. I was looking вперед to seeing my dog, Rufus. Rufus was a big dog, a King Shepherd. King Shepherds look like German Shepherds, but they're larger and have better hips. He had been my companion since I was in third grade. He had what I referred to as "bear paws". When I made it home, I called for Rufus. He didn't come. I called for him again. He still didn't come. I thought that something must be wrong. Rufus always came when called....

It was August. As I was driving to the campus of the college of my choice, I reflected on my high school experience. It wasn't a great one. I sometimes had a feeling of "I have a lot of friends, but is anyone there?" I had a lot of acquaintances, but I never really had any true friends. They never understood my interest in the liberal arts, particularly in the humanities, which of course, included music. I was unfortunately bullied a lot, and by a lot, I mean A LOT. None of my so-called "friends" ever defended me. I sometimes found it ironic that my name is Letty, which literally means "joy",...
