I'm an Erasmus student, I arrived to Italy about a month ago from Jordan! so, sorry for not typing in Italian but I'm still learning :S
I've been active on Aven for quite a while now and I can honestly say I've never met an Asexual person before. Part of the reason I was so eager about visiting a European country was the fact that I didn't really have to hide myself from people. I didn't have to lie and pretend to be somebody I'm not.
Being different isn't a very acceptable nor tolerated in my home. So, I could never be truthful about being Asexual with anybody except a few extremely close friends. I never felt like I fit in anywhere, I always felt like the giant elephant in the room
I've always known I'm an ace, I've always known I was different and I didn't learn about Asexuality until a about three years ago. And suddenly everything made sense. I was relieved to know that I'm not the only one. But soon after my thrill was met with disappointment, because I was never able to find others like me in Jordan.
... So now, I'm in Italy. And I sincerely hope I can meet people here. I would love to make new friends .. find people to talk to, to laugh with, to share things with, to learn from ....
I really can't wait
Hope you all are having a beautiful day
