The prefix 'a' means not. Atypical means not typical, ect. Asexual would mean not sexual. And if you still have any sexual feelings, you cannot be asexual. Being close enough works in some things, but the term asexual is too direct and people insist they have zero feelings at all. The term is misleading an by definition, it is not a thing. In my opinion of course!
All words are made up? Bit really buster. Asexual is a word that was made from a word that already existed, "sexual" and a prefix with an established meaning "a". I know a lot of poeple have such low sex drives that it may seem easier to call them asexual. But the whole concept bugs me because the actual defintion of the word is not true. This post is asking uf it is normal to thing asexuality, by definition, is not true. I'm not saying we need to ridicule claimed asexual people, or even change the word. I'm just wondering if I'm the only person who deosn't buy it.
Is it normal to think "asexuality" is totally not a thing?

All words are made-up. A term is defined by how we use it, and we use it in accordance to its definition.
Sorry if you don't agree with what everyone else thinks "asexual" means. :/
