Anyone else experience this odd situation?

[SleeplessTear]

So lately..I've noticed I haven't really had the..uhh..erm..*Cough* Desire to be physically attracted to ANYone..and I literally mean anyone. For some odd reason I can't look at someone like I used to, and actually feel anything that makes me feel attracted in some way. I just look at them and its like they're there just to be there and I wasn't like that before, but I just started randomly being like that..

I don't know if it's my Social Anxiety disorder causing me to somehow repress my emotions/feelings, or something..or if it's some other disorder. I've been literally obsessed with looking up stuff about being "Asexual" And they say that those type of people aren't attracted to anyone in any way. I don't wanna be like that at all -_-. I actually do wanna have someone one day..(If it's possible..and have a family, but I'd also wanna be attracted to whoever I'm with, instead of feeling nothing.) I think this is a odd situation and pretty stupid to ask around and ask people about, but I just feel worried about it.

Sorry if I got the thread in the wrong forums..It's pretty late and I'm a little tired..also..

It's not odd or stupid to ask around ,that's this forum for after all.
Yes it has happen to me a few times,losing desire to be attracted to anyone, usually it has happened in periods when I was very depressed or unhappy or when my life sucked in general.
Maybe this is your problem too since you said you didn't felt this way before and you want to be attracted to someone,maybe your desire will come back when you will be in a better mood,if not maybe you really are asexual and there's nothing to be ashamed of or worried about.

Yeah..I didn't even notice I was depressed lately, but tonight..I just felt it hit me and..I feel pretty depressed..I haven't gotten out too much..lately. Maybe that could be another reason or something. I should start going out more again..instead of staying in the house as much as I do..

Thanks for replying..though..

Yes,not getting out may be another factor too or overall sedentary life,which affects your mood and energy level as well.

And to add onto it, I just got out of a controlling relationship also. So the trauma of that might've also caused something to happen. Well..I mean he was a online relationship..or something, but still controlling and saying bad stuff to me..so I ended it about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I don't miss that person at all though.

no desire?
schizoid personality people become so inward that the external world just doesn't do anything for them anymore.

You mean..Schizophrenic.......?

But yeah..I kinda don't feel anything towards some stuff.. kinda like a numb feeling and its like..people are there just to be there and I don't pay attention to them much like I used to..it's hard to explain..

Not schizophrenic. They're completely separate things.

Schizoid personality often sees people become detached and isolated from other people, having little or no desire to have a close relationship with someone

*Does a facepalm with both hands* Oh..I thought Schizoid said Schizophrenic.. and I was getting a little worried that I somehow had it..since my uncle had Schizophrenia.

Well its not like I don't have a complete loss of desire..I guess it just faded away. Because of course I really want a family one day..but maybe I'm just going through a phase/time in my life where I'm not ready.

It's a bit scary, since have schizoid personality disorder. I always feel like I want to be in a relationship, yet I'll push or not care about anyone that gets close. With time I'm starting to care less and less about anyone or anything and I don't want to continue living like that

Right now I am not attracted to anyone because i don't value myself enough to be with anyone.

I have dated women and men and haven't found happiness no matter what side of the fence I choose.

depression, age, poor circulatory health - all can contribute
