Because they really do think being aro is a phase/choice.

That's the thing, they don't know it's not true.

I imagine it's a lot like a deep, dreamless, sleep.

Yeah, it's important to be careful online always.

Hi Aether!  Cool name!

Hi Ruth!  I'm Alex!  I take meds!  :D 

I experienced it a lot when I was young, over time squishes have become squashes/plushes.

I'm offended that you don't have much style when picking a pic

awesome

hey

I suspected I was aro when I was 17...realized for sure when I was in my mid-twenties.  Don't worry.  It'll come to you.

Hey there!  Welcome to Arocalypse!

QPRs are totally a thing, as are aros who want to be in relationships.

You are valid.

I am going back to school soon!

maybe you are romantic with anxiety?

It doesn't sound like a crush to me.

I chose a boyfriend.  I didn't start out being into him, but it hurt like hell when he broke up with me and started saying hurtful things to me.

Whenever I hear people talking about their romantic problems, I think Thank G-d I don't have to deal with that

Uh....I am an aro who writes love songs.  I feel that is weird as hell but...put me on your playlists :)  Here is my college-girl-angst song.

Hey, for friends, if it happens it happens.  I've gone through periods where I've had two real life besties, times where I've had four online besties, times where I've had two online besties...etc.  If it happens it happens.

If art and music are what bring you joy, I say just focus on what brings you joy and don't worry about the rest.

For me, learning about comphet (although I'm still no expert) was very helpful in figuring out my romantic orientation.  When I learned about comphet, I realized I really didn't want a romantic relationship...and maybe not a monogamous one either.

Granted, I haven't read these books in many years...but I was internet pals with Tamora Pierce for a while so Kel will always mean a lot to me.

I write love songs to my friends.

I wear black whenever I can.
