How did things change for you when you realized you were ace?
At first I thought nothing changed besides feeling more clear and having more clarity about the past, but I realized recently that since discovering I’m ace I don’t care about what other people think of me as much as I used to.
I used to be really concerned with other people finding me attractive (before I learned about different types of attraction) because I felt like my value as a person was linked to how others perceived me. For some reason, I don’t care anymore? Idk, it wasn’t a conscious decision. I just wear what I want to/what I like without thinking about what others might think as much (aside from the normal “is this clean? Do I look okay?”). I’m a woman and I personally like more masculine clothing and lately I just wear my style instead of trying to appear more feminine.
