  1. Debating on coming out to my dad as Aro sometime this month. Ive given it a lot of thought

  2. I missed my coming out anniversary (april 17th 2020)! Can't believe Ive been aro-spec for so long... 

  3. Saw a post on Tumblr trying to claim that SAM was homophobic and I was?? So dumbfounded that I legit feel unwell. I hate being alloaro sometimes.

      I saw a bunch of stuff like that on TikTok recently, and I was Not A Fan. Apparently it has something to do with comphet and lesbians? Idk I don’t like it lol

      Tbh that's a fairly old take. I've seen it so many times and I just roll my eyes whenever I see it these days lol

      What... was the "logic" behind it?

  4. friends: *laughing at PSAs about abusive relationships*

    me, an aro wondering whats wrong with them: ???

  5. Thinking about experimenting with aroflux for a bit.

     

    Having trouble telling the difference between romantic attraction and platonic attraction again

      I wish it was easier knowing the difference, but it's so difficult not knowing if you've never felt it before lol

  6. Feeling like rubbish today, everyone else is talking about this special day and i'm out here feeling like I'm the only person in the world who can't enjoy it.

      Same here, especially with the lack of QPRs in my life.

  7. It has taken me a very long time, but I think I've finally accepted myself as aro. I no longer look at my label with doubt and sadness, but with genuine pride. I have to thank this community for being so diverse and welcoming! I've always been supportive of acearo rights, yet discovering that I was apart of you all along was admittingly frightening. But being aro won't stop me from being happy, in fact I think I am now happier with myself this way. Overall, thank you.

      i'm so glad.  it's been 5 and a half years for me and i'm just happier all the time

      Same here, though I'm still working on it! Still navigating the sadness, loneliness, and figuring out how to get QPRs.

  8. Saw some acephobia on my tumblr dash today and felt disgusted. I'm not even ace, but this community has made me love ace people more than ever. Unfollowed immediately. 

  9. Its been a while, but I'm back. Probably going to pop in more every once in a while. I really just need to accept myself already.

      Yeah, well...took me several years to accept I'm aro (and ace). You can't rush things but yes, it is important you accept yourself. I think that's the biggest lesson I've needed to learn since discovering my identity (still need to learn sometimes). I wish you the best and hope the forums & community can help and support you on your journey :aropride:

      Awh thank you so much, I appreciate the support! :aropride:

  10. Sometimes my alloromantic friends will say something that probably sounds supportive to them, but only makes me feel like they're being dismissive towards my experiences.

  11. Tbh I feel like I've been talking far too much on these forms, but I've been waiting to finally talk to people I can relate to for so long. It just feels nice to not only read others' experiences, but to try and help others with the knowledge I have equipped.

      I don't think posting too much is ever an issue! If you have something you want to share, the forum is here for just that. It's nice to see more activity on here! (Even if...I'm not the most active person myself lol, but I do try to at least browse regularly and chime in for polls and certain discussions)

  12. God I used to hype myself up for romance, but nothing gets me going more than hearing your friends say that they love/care about you :aropride:?
