The Maelstrom

Around 13 or 14, though I didn't pay much attention to it back then. I stumbled across the term on tumblr by chance.

I found out about aromanticism and asexuality around the same time, three or four years ago. Aromanticism clicked instantly.

It took me around three years of thinking I was just a picky, socially anxious bisexual or maybe a lesbian until I realized I'd never really had genuine sexual interest in anybody. On top of that, it took me another year to come to terms with being some sort of ace. (I'm still so confused.)

Coffin

I'm a writer, or more like, I just think about writing. Two of my characters ended up aromantic and one is demiro.

Being Alone on Valentine's Day by Lemon Demon has some aro vibes.

My first and only "crush" was peer pressured. I picked a boy that seemed like he had a similar personality to me just to get my friends off my back but I never felt anything towards him.

Also, I've never understood why people care so much about finding a significant other. Dating has always been a complete foreign practice to me that I never had an interest in.
