I'm scared to be who I am
I have identified as aroace for a long time now but everybody around me either doesn't support it or doesn't know what it means. I feel very alone sometimes and I feel I should have a partner or something. I have tried forcing myself to like men, same with women but nothing. I hate myself for not being like the others who are dating or married and I'm scared I won't have anyone.

Thank you for sharing. You're not alone, and I know it is difficult. Keep reaching out. Talking with people here is a good start - and talking to people you trust in your life is a good next step. I understand it can be a lonely life.
Focus on finding joy when you can. What do you enjoy? Do more of it. That sounds pithy, I know, but little joys mean a lot. Find something that you can appreciate each day, then perhaps look for patterns and see what you can do to find more of it.
I am glad that you are here. This is a safe place. You are not alone. And you will find good for you. I know.
