This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think you've got a good approach. I'm not fully allosexual myself, but it seems to me the most painful part of this would be the loss of esteem. To be excluded from anything so blatantly...
People want to be liked. It means social safety, inclusion in a group. Sexuality is just one of its expressions.
Social stuff is hard for many people. I'd wager most people are not even consciously aware of social status, social transactions, etc. It's not something that is really taught, so it's no surprise when someone is blind to it.
But if you ever feel bad because of what someone said or did, it's possible you're subconsciously reacting to a threat to your status (import and safety within a group).
Why do you say you're damaged?
