Someone: “Oh, wow, I had no idea that people give aces and aros a hard time, that’s so weird!”
Me: “Haha, I know, right?”
Me, internally: *screaming* GOD I WISH THAT WERE ME
tumblr is recommending me an anime blog w the title despanico and i cant even complain i brought this on myself
ive got some thoughts on my aromanticism i need to put somewhere so im giving yall a warning before i do
in my experience when i dont consciously take into account that im aro i end up overthinking a lot of my social interactions cause im forcing myself into an amatonormative reading & trynna convince myself im in love w my friends when i really am not just because i feel most comfortable around them & ig thats what i ended up picturing love as. it just makes things super awkward for me, but if i do use the label & make it known then people treat me like im cold hearted & cant love at all & hate physical contact and all kinds of dumb shit and that hurts & makes me feel super uncomfy and its also a lot to assume based on me mentioning i dont fall in love when the topic makes it appropriate to so in the end ig i really cant win and thats big sucky.
& ill be the first one to admit it sounds weird to say im aro & big into pda & loving gestures but its really not as contradictory as it seems it just means i love all my friends extra hard and that a bitch needs a hug sometimes. like im tired of people assuming stuff about me cause of one (1) label i use to describe my experiences like im also a really soft dude filled w all kinds of love! but just not romantic love & thats ok
how do even talk 2 dio w/out staring anyway
