I never foresaw that coming out as asexual would be something I would feel necessary to do. I view my asexuality as another aspect of my physical self about as trivial as the color of my eyes. It's not really something I care about, so I never thought it was something I found necessary to tell anyone. However, the topic of sex comes up occasionally with my friends. Whenever they are having one of these conversations that I'm completely lost in I never contribute to it. Over time they have eventually caught on a little. A few even think I might be gay even though I'm not. On one hand I don't want them assuming something false about me, on the other hand I feel like telling them the truth would only make the situation worse. Some wouldn't care, but some would probably distant themselves and think I'm weird. What do I do?
