I want to be in a relationship. I know boys are stupid. I know I am young. I know it probably won't work out. But if I hear that one more time I will rip my brain out and throw it in a lake. Everything is surrounded around relationships. Social Media, Movies, Books, Gossip, your everyday life, and I get serious fomo(fear of missing out)when I don't have that. My friends have all had something, whether it's a relationship, talking stage, kiss. I have had NOTHING! My love life is inexistent. You have NO right act like I am wrong for wanting something when you have got to have it. No right. I had a friend today tell me that I need to love myself before I get into a relationship. I 100% agree, but I am insulted because you insinuated I am not happy with myself. I know who I am, even if I am still growing as a person. I have hobbies and interests. But can I not be a strong independent young woman AND be (or want to be) in a relationship, even if I am only 17? I know it might not work out, but I WANT to be able to experience everything. I graduate next year and I have yet to live my life fully. And to be honest I get lonely. I know I have friends and family, but they can't fill the loneliness I feel of not being in a relationship. Being single is easy for my friends because they still have a sex life, or they have only been single for a few months. I have been single my WHOLE LIFE. I don't need you to tell me to wait for the right person because I just saw video on instagram where a woman was single for 65 years. Is that going to be me? What if I never find my person. It is my greatest fear. And when I complain to you about it, I don't want you to try and fix the problem, I just want you to empathize."I understand and get you Brooke" That's what I long to hear. I also hate when you tell me to just hook up. Don't you get it? I don't want a guy to just want me for my body. I mean I want him to think I am sexy, but I want him to think everything about me is sexy. That's all.

the men in wattpad books are anything but men lol. irl, men barely care. unless they really see a lifelong wife in you, which is very rare, given that they're looking to get married to begin with.

@thisisbrookeright  
            Yeah I really get that! We live in a society that is so centered on sexuality without being focused on the connection itself, about the fundaments of how we interact with, well, basically anyone. For me personally, that struggle mainly lies in close relationships not being taken seriously if they aren't sexual, but a large part of it is also that even if a relationship is sexual, that doesn't mean it's meaningful. We all want connection, we need it as social beings. And it's very frustrating that we're being told that the only way to get that connection is through the stereotypical path of the dating/marriage thing, while we're never given the tools or language to help us actually make those connections meaningful.

            David Jay, AVEN's founder, is a lot better at explaining it than I am. His primary examples focus on friendships, but I think they are just as applicable with other kinds of relationships, like sexual ones. If we focus on the sexual aspect and not on the connection itself, the relationship will not hold the same meaning.
            
            All people need connection, so do asexual people. There are even a lot of asexual people who want to have sex, for example because it makes them feel connected to their partner, or just because they like it. The definition of asexuality lies in not feeling that kind of attraction to people (or very rarely, or only if you've already established a meaningful connection with someone), regardless of whether you would like to have sex or not, or in what way

@XxFaylinexX I don't think I am asexual, but I think it's just in today society a lot is centered around sex and not the actual relationship. I do want to experience sex, but in a meaningful way you know?
