I may or may not be Asexual, and I've never perceived it as a bad thing. Why? Here are the positives:
1. We're immune to being seduced.
2. We're some of the safest people with there being zero risk of us being behind bars for a crime related to this subject.
3. We can focus on more rational stuff.
Why is Asexuality perceived negatively? Some say that it's a Sociopathic trait, but there are non-Sociopathic Asexuals (I might be one of them).

For other males, it's extremely difficult to understand someone who does not share one of your most basal biological drives. Many will assume that you are actually gay and in denial.
I agree with what you wrote, but it's because I'm asexual.
I'm definitely asexual, but I prefer to call it non-sexual. I'm also glad I'm this way. In fact, if I weren't non-sexual I think I'd rather be castrated than go through what a lot of hormonal desperation and other garbage a lot of sexual people go through. I see sexuality as more of a negative thing and often feel sorry for sexual people.
I had no idea asexuality is thought to be a sociopathic trait. Being non-sexual hasn't exactly made me into a sociopath although not being a sexual person has caused me problems and made the dating relationships I was in, in the past, short-term, except the platonic dating relationships in my teen years. That was before I understood I'm asexual.

Or worse. On another thread the OP started elsewhere on this issue he was instantly accused of mental health issues and in requirement of a psychologist.
As for why it is viewed negatively OP - you could look at some of the threads about homosexuality - or even threds about people who have simply chosen never to have children. It seems deviation from the "norm" is enough to be viewed negatively.
If you are not conforming to the expectations of the majority you are viewed negatively. Even some of the comments on threads about childless couples the commentary can get abrasive and insulting and heated. People who want children simply can not understand why those without do not want them, or never will.
Similarly since sex is one of the biggest drives for most people - those with that desire will have trouble relating with those that lack it.

I didn't know it was.
Examples? I don't get the point of this topic. Just live your life. I can't believe many or anyone cares about your sex life.
I've gone through very long periods in my life without sex from a partner and it has never been a problem.
In fact, I'm on one of those streaks right now. No end in sight and I'm not worried about it.

I'm the opposite. I'm envious of them. But I'm shy and my trust level in humans is low.
The OP has to come up with examples of the sociopath nonsense.
I see this topic as a complete fail.

I never saw asexuality as being negative and never will, but perhaps this is the reason some people might -- because some of them, like you, believe they are better than sexual people. Trust me, none of us need your pity.

You're putting words into my mouth. I don't believe asexuality makes anyone better than another. I just feel sorry for people who apparently have sexual urges like substance abusers do for whatever they're addicted to. I can relate to sexual urges through my drug addicted experiences. I can also relate to the problems sexual people have in sexual relationships because I experienced some of them when I believed I was heterosexual and tried to act like a heterosexual. I experienced breakups, jealousy, hurt, expectations of protocols men are expected to follow with disappointments that can result, the weird expectation to follow along to body language signals with lack of verbal communication (which I never trusted), etc..
How do you figure having sympathy for the negative aspects of something means someone thinks they're better than the pitied??? If you want to see people who think they're better than others, there are plenty of people around who spit on addicts, homeless people & the poor.
