  1. I was 14/15 when I realized I was aroace, but looking back the signs were there before then. It's been a few years and nothing has changed. I would say if you feel like you're aro, then you are. It's kind of like a hunch. There's a good chance it won't change, and if it does, then so what? If you feel the label aro fits you now, then you're aro. If you're old enough to recognize that you might be aro, you're old enough to be aro.
  2. As soon as I saw this topic thread, I IMMEDIATELY thought of Gremlins. I cried the first time my parents had me watch it!
  3. I mentioned that I never planned on getting married and my dad responded with disbelief, implying that I was being ridiculous. So yeah, no, I'm never telling my family.
  4. "You should try liking someone. Maybe that'd make you happy."
  5. I find myself doing this too. I think that, at least for me, it comes from a mixture of fear, romance repulsion, and internalized arophobia/amatonormativity. I have been convinced by society that I am inherently less important than my friends' romantic partners, and so I subconsciously remove myself from situations that reinforce that idea in order to make what I feel is an inevitable outcome less awkward and less painful.
  6. I relate to this so hard. I remember doing the exact same thing, almost trying to convince myself that I had a crush on some random kid just because I thought I had to.
  7. If you're born into that culture/live there for long enough I'm sure in most cases it becomes as natural as a handshake. If it's something that's been a part of your daily life for a long time, it wouldn't seem so romantically coded or uncomfortable.
  8. I want to come out to my one friend but I'm highkey scared... It's not that I think she'd freak out, just that it'd be really awkward and I've have to explain the whole thing and she might not get it and yeah.
  9. I've finally reached 100 content count which makes me an advanced member! What should I set my member title as?

  10. I'm offended that everyone's thinking
  11. I feel this!! There's a constant pressure of people who ask, "why don't you write those two characters getting together?" And no answer seems to be good enough, so you end up not really sharing your work with anyone anymore.
  12. Happy Aro Week (if you're in the US or if it's already Monday where you are)!
