Is it normal that i'm assexual?

I never really liked anyone. I always see people talking about how they had a little crush on a cute boy when they were kids. I never did, not even on highschool, and now I'm at the college and NOTHING. I have thought about it for a long time, and I am considering myself an assexual girl. People would always ask me if I was a lesbian when I was growing up because I never had a boyfriend, but I never wanted one. And now I told my mother about how I feel and she is being really harsh, saying it is not normal and that I need someone to be happy. What should I do? Do you guys think it is OK to be assexual?

    I'm the same. Although I have a healthy and active sex life. I have never fancied anyone either. I've never had a serious relationship either. xx

    It may not be common but that doesn't been it's abnormal. You don't "need" someone to be happy.

    Yes, it's fine. It's not super common, but some people are asexual. You may also be aromantic, meaning that you don't experience romantic attraction. It's a totally ok way to be!

    "Asexuality (or nonsexuality) is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone or low or absent interest in sexual activity."

    You are talking about having a crush on someone?... That doesn't mean that you don't desire does it?.. Sex... Touching... Exploration... Adventure.

    But if nothing really turns you on, and if you REALLY for real never took notice of someone you thought were "Pretty" or "Stunning" then you might be so.

    Can't be that bad.. Morrissey from (The Smiths) claims to be somewhat Asexual these days.

    • Yeah, really, nothing turns me on... It just explains everything. Being asexual is just the explanation that fits me the most...

    Maybe you just don't know anyone who's deep? Do these guys want to know who you are? Maybe it is who you are, but maybe your just more mature than the people around you. Take your time and figure it out. I'm a loner and it's like having no purpose. I've gone years of being alone and not feeling lonely, but sometimes it catches up with me.
