I'm 17 years old and I'm only just discovering my sexuality. In high school, I saw no need for relationships while majority of my peers were talking about their crushes/partners.
My first relationship I feel I was pressured into by my friends. It was more like a friendship than an actual relationship. The thought of doing anything remotely romantic, like holding hands or kissing, made me nauseous. This was when I began to question my sexuality.
At first, I suspected I was aromantic until I took a quiz online (not always accurate, I know). It told me I was demisexual, which I'd never heard of, so I researched more about it and the definition seemed to suit me. And it's only recently where I think I also might be demiromantic.
But now I'm stuck with the feeling of loneliness. Whenever I think of my future, I tend to see myself alone. I'm quite antisocial and I tend to spend most of my time at home alone or with family, which I'm perfectly fine with. But I sometimes get this small feeling of anxiety that I'll never find someone – destined to be alone. I'm probably being stupid or something :joy:

Same! Every time my friends and I talked about anyone, they would always talk about how attractive they were. I could appreciate their looks, but it was always their personality that I'd say was important for me
