My Only Friend Blues

My only friend really sucks - she’s totally unreliable, but these are who I love, and what am I to do?

Everyone else bores me but those who don’t come through. I hate myself for it - I’ve got such bad taste, it seems,

but only when it comes to people, certainly not my dreams (until the ones above me destroyed those guarantees).

I need friends now who will boost me up, who won’t leave me hanging when I need a hug. And look, I get it;

I’ve said it, it’s not romantic what we fuckers do to one another to make each other lose.

But no one can admit when the fuck they’re wrong so they never change and I’m all alone all the fucking time

sooo fucking bored. No one else is single in my pack of friends - on a Saturday night, just like me before,

they’re hanging with their men. So fuck, this fucking sucks and I don’t care how it sounds; life is damn depressing when you’ve got no one around.

The Curse Of Being Lonely

"No visitors."  It says that every time. Every. Freaking. Time. And every time it breaks my heart. How is it that a 2-year-old gorgeous (and adorable) girl, cannot get anyone to visit her? And how many kids are like her …

Nobody around me understands when I tell them I can't feel sexual attraction (since they're all allo) and i'm just getting real tired of the disconnect. I know there's no permanent solution, but do you have any advice as to how to deal? I know the online community is strong but none of them are nearby and I guess my disconnect just often makes me feel lost and alone. :(

I'd use an analogy to explain it to them. If it's someone you know well, pick something they really don't like... like let's say your friend hates chocolate cake. "Look, asexuality is like this. It's like everyone around you loves chocolate cake, and they talk about it and want it and think it's great, and you can't understand why on earth anyone would want to eat chocolate cake. That's how I feel, but about sexual attraction. I just don't get it." 

The other thing is to make more friends. Online friends do count and do help, I assure you. But also, make a friend who shares your passion about something. One of my best friends is allosexual, but that's a total non-issue because we met in one of our classes and bonded over horses and our futures and our dreams. We share that passion, so the whole differing orientation thing doesn't matter. 

This is a post from a bit ago in which I advised another lonely acenon. I hope something here helps.
