I’m in a very similar position. When I found out about asexuality 7 years ago I initially embraced it as it explained how I was feeling, (or not feeling) but as time has gone on and I’ve reached 40 years old I now realise that I have let myself drift away from the few friends I do have because we have less and less in common, with me being eternally single (I’m aromantic too) and them all being married with kids.

I enjoy my alone time but the loneliness is creeping in more and more these days and it’s extremely difficult to reconcile the two.

Thanks for sharing that. I get the drifting away bit. I moved away from my hometown so therefore moved away from friends. A lot of my friends tend to not acknowledge/or care that I am asexual because they keep trying to “talk me out of it”, or choose to not talk to me about relationships because I wouldn’t understand, this one hurts more than them not acknowledging it. So I know that is what has me drifting away.

I’m a very shy lone wolf. I don’t think drinking and clubbing are good times. Sadly I have this attitude that if I get any precious free time, I will just show myself a good time and if someone comes along fine. If not then that’s ok to. I’m also so busy doing errands on my free time.
