Btw y'all cooked with the term "squish"... one of the greatest terms in existence.

According to arophobes, aromantic people are sluts. According to biphobes, bisexual people are sluts. So, by being an aromantic bisexual, does this make me a double slut or do they cancel each other out? These are the questions philosophers failed to answer (/j).

I swear to god it’s so frustrating to feel like the kind of relationships I want don’t make sense or don’t even exist. Where are the people who wanna be in a queerplatonic relationship that’s also sexual, but also we do things that are typically considered “romantic”?

Like, does no one else in the world wanna be friends who also flirt and make out and be freaky and kinky and weird, but platonically and we just like spending time with each other?

Cause if you exist, for the love of god let me know this is exhausting.

Can I please just be allowed to have some peace and not be questioning my identity FOR TWO MINUTES? /hj

[dogb1scuit]

this random person is making me question my entire aromantic identity i????????? what is happening.??????? i. do not like feeling attraction

i do not like it at all

i would infact like to never feel romantic attraction ever again

Now that I know a bit more about myself and who I am in a romantic /sexual sense, all those instances when I doubted my "feelings" for others make sense as well.

In middle school, my friends had crushes and some of them talked about kissing and sex but I didn't find it particularly interesting or relevant.

I used to "like" a boy but when we became a thing I didn't want to kiss or hug him, it seemed weird and out of place.

I met another boy at the same school, he was sweet and asked me to be his girlfriend, I accepted because my friends seemed excited about it but I felt the same as always. I kissed him goodbye (just a peck) and he froze but I continued my way home without thinking about it more.

I thought it was normal to just "confess" you like someone and they would just say "oh cool" and move on but in elementary school, I said a boy was cute and the next day he was following me around expecting me to do something (although I still don't know what, we were 9 years old.)

Another time in elementary school, my classmates wanted me to kiss a guy they thought liked me, so they tried to drag me to him but I ran to the bathroom. They pulled me out of it despite my resistance and when they had us both in front of each other trapped in a people prison, I turned around and they all said "what a shame" and left.

It's funny how it all makes sense now but it hurt my social connection and understanding back then.

AroAce, proud, and really fuckin tired. let me sleep.

[professor-beaker]

See the funny thing is im aroace but i also have the memory of a goldfish. So ill just. Forget that people actually do things for love and sex (mostly sex)?? Like youre telling me people give chocolate to one another and its not just seen as being nice? Every time someones like "oh yeah i did that because i had a crush on them" i have two straight minutes of "HUH???" before i remember thats an actual motivation for people, and that romantic gestures do, in fact, exist

Arospec: An umbrella term for anyone who is on the aromantic spectrum

Questions for religious aros:

Does your aromantic identity impact how you conceptualize agape/ holy and divine love?

Has the idea of divine love driven you away from certain spiritual practices?

Do you find the idea of divine love comforting when considering what it means to be loved/experience love as an aro person?

How does being a loveless aro impact your understanding of divine love?

How does being a lovequeer aro impact your understanding of divine love?

I'm bored, so Aroace bingo (with a blank version). 🧡💛🤍🩵💙

The two ways I feel about being aroace, changes like every 5 minutes:

1. Yipee I'm aroace! I don't have to deal with the complicated mess known as romance and can spend more times doing other things instead of getting distracted by that!

2. I want to be able to feel romantic attraction it seems so nice I wish I wasn't aroace this sucks so much and the way people describe romantic attraction it seems like the best thing ever I wish so badly I could feel it but I probably never will

Currently I am number 1, so yay!

theres been some bullshit recently, so yes, if you're not entirely ace but also arospec, you can call yourself aroallo. it just means someone whos arospec and still experiences sexual attraction. it doesn't specify how much sexual attraction you feel. you could be aroallo and alloace simultaneously because ITS A SPECTRUM
