Dude absolutely I'll get something tysm

You're not to young, for sure. I just turned 15 and I'm fairly confident in my aromanticism. Unfortunately, there's a bit of stigma even in the lgbt community about aromanticsm. But I think eventually if you come out to a couple friends at a time people will start to understand. Start out slow and let yourself think more about how your identity feels, and if this feels right to you then that's something to be proud of. Don't forget you can be whoever you want to and you don't have to change for anyone else. As long as it makes you happy, your identity is valid.

Hi, welcome to the forum. I want u to know u can absolutely live a happy life without romance, there are so many other things that can drive happiness. Platonic love, sexual love (it's totally like hacking the system isn't it great), family love, love for a pet, love for a show or a book, love for your hobbies or your profession, anything else.

If you start identifying as aro and realize you want a romantic relationship, that's amazing go for it. And if you start identifying as aro and realize it fits, congrats you've figured yourself out and you can be happy. Either way you can still live life to the fullest and find out what makes you happy. 

I sort of understand your problem, I'm in a relatively similar situation. I'm glad you've figured out your romantic orientation, that's a step forward from where I am lol. But I get what you mean about touch deprivation. If your idea of a QPR situation that fits you is a close friend who keeps you from feeling touch deprivation, then that's great. If you're not ready for that, maybe find a few friends who you can be a little bit touchy with, just a friend or two who you can hug sometimes. And you don't have to feel lonely. The more comfortable you become with your identity the more you might understand what love means to you and who you can share that with. I hope this a little bit helpful 

Lol sorry this isn't important

The leaderboard thing says people got certain numbers of points and idk what that means

I usually drink a cup of tea every day, and I would never drink....coffee. Chai tea is one of my favorites because it's so good with milk and honey. Peppermint is also good if you need something calming before bed, just a suggestion.

Hiya, welcome to the community. I'm also aromantic and not romance repulsed, so it's nice to know the community has a good mix of feelings on romance. Hope u find this to be a helpful and understanding site

Thomas Sanders 110% because he has a lot of friends in many different parts of the LGBT community that show up and talk about their identities a lot in his videos

Hiya, also a teen

Wait is this a thing?? I knew a black ring was for ace and sort of for aspec in general but I never knew the white ring was for aro. I rlly like that suggestion

Sometimes it's just so sweet and well thought out and the people are happy and it's cute

I like romance, just not for myself

Attraction can't make you a good or a bad person. Feelings can't be bad, only behaviors are. If you are respectfull, there is nothing wrong with sexual relationships.

A douche or a fuckboy is someone who pretends to want romantic relationships to get what they want sexually and continuously hurts and disrespects people along the way to get that. That's not what it means to be aromantic. If what you want is a purely sexual relationship, and you convey that and make sure you don't disrespect the other person or people, then that is perfectly fine and healthy. 

I often feel out of place in the LGBT community to begin with as a queer black person. I find that the LGBT community has an overwhelming number of white people for a culture supposedly focused on diversity and acceptance. The number of nonwhite people becomes even less in the bi community, and lesser still on the aspectrum. I just hope this thread can introduce me to other LGBT people of color.

These are all really good, most of my suggestions have been said already but I have a couple I don't think have been said

-The way I am, Charlie Puth

- Don't, Ed Sheeran

-Sing, Pentatonix

-Death of a Bachelor, Panic! at the Disco

-Ain't it fun, Paramore

-Gives you hell, The all American rejects

-Phoenix, Fall out boy

This is mainly just empowering songs that don't have romantic or sexual connotations, not quite specific aspec meanings

Also suggested: Love song, Sara Bareilles. I know it doesn't sound like it is but hear me out this is a good one 

-Archery because arrow

-Dragons because green

-Frogs because green

-Reptiles because green

-Pets in general because it sort of symbolizes lack of wanting a partner (i.e. having a pet instead)

-Aliens because green also because we often feel alienated or misunderstood

-Pirates because I dunno I rlly like pirates ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Hi, welcome to the community. Congrats on figuring yourself out, questioning your identity is always difficult to deal with. I'm new here too, but I can say without a doubt that this is the best place to come for connections in the aspec community. Hope this place makes you feel at home

Sensual and sexual attraction would be very similar, though asexuals could experience a desire to hug someone without the need to go any further. Like children sometimes enjoy hugging and cuddling.

I could be completely wrong, but I think squish and lush are closely related. Squish is the need to get to know someone closer in a platonic way, and lush would be the need to be a bit more touchy with the person without getting into sexual attraction, like you said when you mentioned the desire to hug someone.

I am really glad to know that I am not alone and I cannot wait to interact with people who understand me!

 

 

Welcome to the community 

I can sort of empathize with the situation you're in, I've been in a relationship like this before. I think you did the right thing in breaking up with your girlfriend, if she's making you feel bad enough to reach out to this forum for help then that relationship isn't worth it. You're a better person than you're giving yourself credit for, remember that. You're not going to want to hear this, but the best way to deal with all of your sad feelings is to let them out. Depending on how much time you have, give yourself a day to listen to sad songs and eat comfort food, and even let yourself cry. Once you're let those feelings out, it'll be easier to pick yourself up and look for something better that makes you happy.

Thx for the support. How would I explain this to her, I'm still a little confused on how this would work out
