I've never felt that "pull" towards parenthood but sometimes I can abstractly think that adopting a kid wouldn't be so bad. I answered "not sure" but probably should've selected "no"

My aromantic moment is every time someone shows romantic interest Getting paranoid and anxious because "oh no I think they like me" "what if they ask me out?!?" I hate feeling responsible for allo people's feelings because they have the bad luck to be interested in me "that way" I always end up feeling awkward and guilty, wondering if I did something which "led them on"

This thought process when I was in early high school: 1. I read a post about teachers "shipping students and getting them to do work together" 2. I noticed that a teacher kept getting me to work with another person 3. Therefore, teacher ships us according to aforementioned post 4. Me having that thought meant I shipped us together (that's how shipping works, right?) 5. Shipping someone with yourself = having crush on them I didn't realise most people visualised their weddings as a kid, or imagined being married in their future. In primary school some girls had made a poll for which guys were most date able, to which my contribution was "no one" "you can't choose no one or the world will end" "fine, the world ends" Not realising that being a 3rd wheel was a thing, or bad. Having no interest in romance. *exposed to romance* "no, that's obsessive & creepy".
