[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP.  If it were me, and I was in this situation with a DD this age, I would plan to spend a ton of time with her this summer and try to get to the bottom of what is going on. You state that she has a lot of anxiety; I would start with helping her work to alleviate that. Exercise, healthy eating, fun job this summer, some travel - what can you do to help her get back on track and get her anxiety under control?

And don't forget - these are the Covid kids who suffered so much during the lockdowns. We are going to be dealing with things like this for years to come.[/quote]

[b]There is nothing to be sorry for and nothing to deal with because OPs DD does not have sexual feelings for anyone. She is not broken.

I’m guessing it didn’t occur to you that some of her anxiety could be stemming from the fact that she keeps getting messages that she should WANT to be some kind of sexual, that she’ll end up alone, etc. [/quote]

And you know this how? You are the DD's psychologist or physician?

I am telling OP what I would do. If my 18 YO daughter came to me and said that she is determining herself to be asexual, you'd best believe I would act quickly to help her in any way that I could. OP herself mentioned the anxiety, so obviously we can conclude that plays some factor in this.

PP, are you so wedded to an agenda that you are not open to the idea that the DD may be different than you?[/quote]
