My Mom asked about my ace ring, and at first I said it was just a ring. A few days later (I don't remember the exact date, unfortunately) I told her the true meaning about the ring and that I identified as aro/ace. She was really cool about it! It was such a relief! I gave her such a big hug! This was in 2017. I haven't told my dad yet. By the way, I'm 53 and I only just heard the terms aro and ace in 2017 and I was like YES that's me!
Sues BookNook so at 53 do you not have children or a husband?
Not married, no kids.
Congrats on 1yr of coming out to your mum, she sounds like an awesome person, its good that you have such a good relationship that you were able to talk about all the stuff you did!
i'm tearing up a little bit because i'm so happy that you're proud of yourself and how far you've come. i'm so happy that you can talk about asexuality because i don't really know of anyone else who talks about it who is asexual so i'm really happy you speak about it and that you're happy. keep being you.
I am absolutely terrified to come out to my mum, I’ve never actually came out in person, only ever on snapchat or twitter and things. Ive never been very open about anything with my family, I’ve always been quite reserved and have only just started opening up to my friends in the past year or so. I really don’t want my mum to make a big deal about my sexuality when I come out but she is an extremely outgoing person and I’m afraid she’ll keep bringing it up but I just want to get it over and done with. I’m afraid she won’t understand and ask me loads of questions about it, although I know she will be supportive of me no matter what. I think I might just send her a video about it when she’s on holiday so I won’t have to face her for a week because I really don’t like talking to her in person about myself. I’m not sure wether and of this makes any sense but it’s nice to type it out and organise my thoughts a little. :) I love being aro ace and I just want to tell everyone!
Tea Tea I'm in the excat same situation... Have you told her yet?
Love your videos, hopefully I can come out as ace to my family, not yet but hopefully I will eventually, you're an inspiration
I came out on 28 August 2017 and it was amazing. I've discovered more and more about my inner ace Asexuality and glad you have yourself.
Congrats on coming out as ace irl! I am so thankful that you make these videos and raise awareness about what asexuality even is. So proud of you!!
this is gonna sound weird, but i love you emotional you are. You're just so passionate and proud and not afraid to be you're purest self and let your emotions show, and thats really inspiring to me.
I'm so insanely proud of you! Seeing how far you've come in the past few years is mental and I'm incredibly lucky to get to call you my friend. It puts the biggest smile on my face seeing you accept yourself, share things with others and make people aware of something that not that many understand. You really are such a massive inspiration to so sooooo many, this video honestly made me tear up slightly because although it was a different situation, I know how terrifying things like this can be. Coming out as gay was one of the scariest things Ive ever done but since then I've been able to make so many more people aware and talk about it comfortably and that's exactly what you're doing with asexuality and honestly proud doesn't begin to cover it. You're getting an even bigger hug than normal when I next see you, so much love.
I've only watched a few of your videos, but from one ace to another, I am SO PROUD of you and how far you've come!! I've come out to a few people myself, but all have been friends and none family. In fact, I'm not sure when I will come out to family. But I'm so happy that you were able to, and that everything worked out well for you! Congratulations once more :)
Hey Emi, I don’t even know if you know that this is my YT but hey, it’s Ben from the twitters. But yeah, it’s coming up to 6 months since I came out about my asexuality, and you’ve helped me do that by talking about the topic and giving me confidence to realise that it’s part of my identity (and yeah I had literally the same experience as you about coming out lol)
So I've known that I'm Ace for a while (about 4 years now), and it's always great to hear about things like this because it makes me feel much less alone. I'm glad to hear that your family was so supportive, and I wish I could be as brave as yourself, so willing to tell the people in my life about myself being Aro/Ace as you are (I also identify as Agender but that would be a completely different conversation likely) I find that it's a lot easier for me to tell people online, or even people at school than it is for me to tell my family, and that's likely because at the end of the day I know that my family is the only set of people that will always be there for me and I find it really scary that they'll try to "help" me through therapy and such, or just deny that it's a thing in general, and these fears exist for a reason, I mean my family has never done anything of the sort to me but the only partner I've ever had said she accepted me, she helped me figure out that I'm Ace, and she spent nearly all the time that we were together either calling me broken or shoving sexual conversations upon me (I only really was with her because she was a close friend and I felt pressured by the fact that everyone else wanted a relationship and I at the time didn't know the difference between sexual and romantic attraction, which I don't experience, and simply wanting to be really good friends or even platonic partners with someone) and to this day I still have effects of that relationship haunting me, and we've been apart for almost a year now. UGH I'm sorry for the long ramble, the point of this comment is that I want to say thank you for being such a brave being. My 18th birthday is coming up and I think I may come out to my family on or around said day. I think it would be a great present to give myself and hearing about this, heck any time I hear of another human telling someone that they are Ace and it ending well, be it here or on AVEN, it really makes me want to be that brave. So thank you for being so open about yourself and willing to share, and you may read a comment updating about this in a month or so if you'd like to hear how it goes. Again, thank you :)
I only found out about asexuality 4 years ago (I'm from a small town where we don't talk about these kinds of things). At the time I was struggling with my sexuality, so when I saw asexuality was a thing, I took it and used it to convince myself there was nothing different or strange or broken about me.
About a month ago, I found myself struggling again. Coming to terms with what it means to be sexual and romantic and in a relationship, and I find myself falling into these videos discussing and talking about asexuality, and finding that I relate more and more with what is being said.
And now I find this video today, a strong person talking about all the things I have been feeling, but not sure how to talk about it or if its "just a phase". And I want to thank you for being so strong and so willing to tell your story on a public medium like this, so people like me can find it and know there are other like me, who struggle with the same feeling and have come to except them.
I'm not broken, I'm not different, I'm not weird. My feelings are valid and I can learn to accept them. And now that I've seen you had the confidence to tell your parents, I know I can also find that confidence. Because we all want to feel loved and accepted and heard; and it's not selfish of us to feel that way.
So thanks
BlackFireLily714 im gonna cry ❤️ you’re so strong too x
This made me cry so much. I'm so proud of you and I just want to tell you that I'm proud of your videos and I love how you can talk about asexuality with so much confidence I wish I could be as confident as you.
I came out as ace to my mom today. She tried to be supportive but I know she thinks I'm too young to know at this point. So what if I am? All I really need is for her to not question me, I'm doing enough of that myself. She does want to be supportive though, she's letting me buy a ring and I'm really excited!
I'm so happy that you feel comfortable telling people you know your ace that your mom believed you. My mom even though we are extremely close, when I told her I was ace(well I thought I was demi so I told her demi) she just dissmised it and when I tried to tell her what it was but I was so nervous I couldn't really talk she just gave me that look like so what and played the show we were watching. I had hoped that was her way of accepting it but it wasn't now she tells me when you get a boyfriend or when you have kids and I just pretend that thats what I want that I'm like any other girl. Now I'm terrified of coming out to my friends even though I think one of them might be ace but not know it themselves. If the one person who I could turn to always for support didnt even bother attempting to believe then who the hell could?
Keep doing you. I like how you can just pour out your emotions out like you do. Your not fake and you do this straight from your heart!!
Very pretty. The British accent is the best on the planet. I support Embly in her right to publicly allow swathes of people to exercise their capacity to do ... NOTHING.
This video made me cry. I'm so proud of you!
Your videos helped inspire my own coming out video. Today I attended my second local Ace meet in Brighton. So thank you!
I'm not asexual but I still love watching your videos and being educated on asexuality and my community, they always make me so emotional too x
Congrats Emi! Love you loads
You made me cry watching this hugs ♥♥♥
This is going to sound really weird but... your eyebrow shape really suits your face. ^^ Also I'm happy that you're happy. You deserve it.
You have nothing to be ashamed of those videos are very deep.
Thanks
❤❤❤
How old were you when you realized you were asexual and how did you come to that realization?
I'm glad you are who you want to be. I couldn't understand anything about it, I just know I wouldn't want to be. regardless, Be who you are 100% and ignore other comments like mine.
Looking at the title, probably isn't a thing people need to come out as cause it's just a preference and a pretty okay one tbf sex is sort of a rate occasion anyway.
it's not a preference
