Asexuality Top 10: Number 7
Number 7: YOU'RE OVERLY INVOLVED IN YOUR OWN BUSY LIFE.
This is number 7 in the Asexuality Top 10: The most common responses people give me when I say "I'm asexual." Instead of believing I'm telling the truth about having no sex drive, many people prefer to suggest one of these ten "better explanations." This video series is to address each of these common misconceptions.
Number 7: YOU'RE OVERLY INVOLVED IN YOUR OWN BUSY LIFE covers the concept of being "too busy" for something important. I talk about how I've never had any trouble changing my life to include very big, new, time-consuming elements (including relationships--just not romantic ones) . . . and because of this, the suggestion that I keep too busy to find a mate is off-base.
