Well I was mildly surprised. The thoughtful, considered me that wants to make a change in his life is the one that actually showed up to the appointment. That was after the nervous wreck who constantly considered skipping out on it did the car drive up there.
So it's started. I now have three scheduled appointments over the next month and a half (the first one this Friday since there was a sudden opening in the schedule.
My doctor also suggested a book for me to read (unrelated to my sexuality issues, but related to other issues). Unfortunately they couldn't remember the title and I couldn't remember the name of the author that was given. All I could remember was that it was on introversion and it made it to the New York Times Bestseller list. A quick Google search and I found myself at a book store (because as long as it takes me to read a book I'm better off just buying it so I have it to go back to and lend to others) purchasing "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking." I sat down and read the first 20 or so pages and it's really good.
I also went over to asexuality.org and made a post there. I realized after yesterday's post that if I was searching for someone to relate to I may find such a person there. A couple people have responded already.
I know this is going to be a long process, but I feel a bit more confident that I'm on a path toward my ultimate goals of knowing who I am, knowing how to approach others, and knowing how to love myself. Wish me luck.
(Slight editor's note. You may have noticed that my last two posts were so close to each other and gone ??? The reason is because I had written the first post the day prior intending to save it for when I felt like posting it. When I sat down last night and just started typing out that last post I realized it may seem weird if the two were not posted together. After all it was really the first post that lead me to the second. Not that anyone cares, but I just feel the need to explain why.)
