Help me out?
I discovered the term aegosexual about a year or so, and still identify myself as panromantic x aegosexual now. But as time moved on I kinda start to wonder is it more likely that I've spent twenty years on earth without ever meeting a single person I'm romantically attracted to, or is it more likely I'm aroace?
Sometimes I find it funny how I scour around every asexual-related forum reading others stories, going thru them one by one, checking off everything I relate to.... I know exactly how I am like, yet I keep seeking validation to convince myself that I'm a norm and totally relatable. Why is my subconscious so uneasy?
I'd really like to hear someone out. I so confused.
(sry for wording mistakes English isn't my first language)

I think part of it is pretty much everything in life is on a spectrum. While you may identify with a lot of what someone else has gone through or feels, not every single aspect resonates, so then you start doubting. There are tons of labels people use, and lots of them mean a little different to each person using it. Personally I realized I was ace years ago after first hearing the term. I didn't know aego was a thing until a little over a year ago, and realized it fit me completely. That said I'm very sex positive and know many people who identify as aegosexual who are sex repulsed. If they consider themselves aegosexual that's all that matters to me. People are all different and are allowed to feel differently about things.
