Agreed this is madness. I get respecting someones moment or cutting a conversation short as someone is busy with someone else, but if they are just there normally a short hi wouldn't be bad in anyway and is just common courtesy, in fact could have said hi to both of them and that could have been a nice gesture. Weirdness

Depends what's ur goal. If you think they are useful then use them. Strip away the ones u dont. Labels are only there to help if you don't need them you don't even need to use them. You can experiment and that see what works and look at things from different perspectives. If you want some perfect label to encompass everything, at the end of the day u r urself and a unique individual no one label is gonna describe you perfectly thats the thing u aren't a label, ur a person. What is it that you are trying to achieve here, is this label for personal use or something you want to convey to others?

Ye i'd ghost him because the way he forced the number out of u is not nice that is creepy how he got you to ring him, most people do not go that far. He took advantage of ur courtesy and it's not ur fault u didn't say no. I am one who thinks ghosting is very bad however if it is like putting u in an uncomfortable situation then it is warranted for sure as this is a rando who forces out ur number. I'd even block. If anything maybe it will teach him a lesson not to mess with others like that, it is not the way to treat other people at all. I don't know what he wants to get from it.

Yea especially sucks with opposite sex ppl when just want to be friendly but they interpret being nice as something else.

Expression as I seen it defined, as how you express yourself to the wider society, and some people dress a certain way to fit in. Gender identity is a inner sense of gender, but I don't think everyone has one or in the same way. I guess I seen both things being mixed up a bit. But yeah they are seperate as a Woman can dress stereotypically masculine and a Man stereotypically feminine that would just be their "expression". I feel like no clothes is inherently masculine and feminine tbh a lot of that is culturally assigned more than anything, probably differs also depending in where you live (and ofc which part of history you are in if ur a time traveller ha) Honestly I just dress what is comfortable really, it's only annoyin when a certain few ppl complain and don't like that. My gender is more just what other people see me as and that I don't think it matters in a lot of ways until the situation makes it matter. At the end of the day I just do what I want (unless I really have to) much simpler.

Yea he does get annoying and harassing, but I guess he doesn't result to stalking as he is already around xP following so he didnt need too. I guess the idea of the story was they do the whole role swap thing when they transform and act almost opposite to their personalities. Ye to think if that happened in real life would be urgh. I guess both are acting as the pursurer but in different contexts and ways. Honestly I only really thought about these things after people made those commentary videos on them xP I probably thought more about how weird cat noir was being but I mostly focussed on the other parts of the show.

I can think of a female character that stalks a lot and that Miraculous Ladybug when she is Marinette xP When you look into it is kinda creepy she goes round stalking someone so much. Yea it is true a lot of things are accepted in the name of romance. Things like public proposals don't make a lot of sense unless I guess you were already planning to with the person, it puts a lot of pressure on someone, though it also has that expectation the man/masculine person does everything. I didn't know people took shipping that seriously :/ that kind of pushing behaviour is pretty scary tbh

https://theaceandaroadvocacyproject.tumblr.com/ I think this has some good Aro stuff. Although I do not agree with everything or the sort of authoritative tone it tries to give. I was reading this one I was pondering. To me the first one more just sexism rather than strictly aro. I guess I can't expect a small information packet to elaborate and like there is intersectionality with everything but I feel like with point number 1 is more about sexism of sorts perpatuated by "romantic ideals". Whereas the other two points below are more closely related to aro. Sure all is linked to Aro but then there are plenty of romance stories without harassing and stalking and it still gives off certain messaging. But I guess there is a interplay with all. I feel the very last point, celebrity culture always disgusted me tbh but I guess the speculation and that made it more so. Although I don't think all of that was centered purely romantic. For some people they were attracted to wealth and lifestyles and how a celeb lives or sometimes their actual talents too ofc haha. But a lot of it was very materialistic and fake to me. I was reading the compulsory sexuality one as well and even this one I as allosexual I feel like the first point using sexuality to sell things is more of an issue relating to other things such as dehumanisation, objectification etc. But still ofc linked back. Over sexualisation is a big issue on its own, I don't think that is healthy for anyone with the oversaturation of this in particular, it's making things into a product to consume.

I haven't read anything like that directly. But I do get that kind of vibe about how allosexuals have to have sex to be fufilled thing. I mean I did read some people saying stuff about that on the forum but it came from the "sexuals" themselves, saying they need sex etc. Otherwise it doesn't work.

Honestly I don't think a bit of healthy debate is bad at all. I feel like I said already much bout this but here 1) My opinion is having them interchangeable could be good for people who want to use it or if people are confused by the term. But I think they do give a slightly different meaning feel so they are not quite equivalents either. I don't think people should be barred from using it if they like that term tho. 2) Nothing is ever totally neutral I think. Both have their own connotations but I guess it's morw which one is closer to neutral. I guess the problem is some people see the words themselves having an existing connotation. 3) nah not really

I mean I always thought the main thing at weddings is food lol oh and I guess im obliged to be there or something I only been to ones for ppl in my family but ye I won't be having my own haha Other than that I can't think of any romantically tied events since I went to a single sex school so that dampned that. At university the main reason I didnt go to certain events was that I didn't drink.

Leave it ambigious mostly there are some who are obviously one way or the other but that isn't the focus of the plot.

Tbh I say the first one though I say I just want to be friends, because it implies I don't want the other thingy. I don't like more than friends however because friends r important already.

There was a cute little doggy in my dream but I gave it away :/

This is old but yeah 1. Depends which you mean I suppose. There is gender identity which is like how you feel internally and what you see yourself as. Some people have a strong sense of that or perceived way of being and some don't. Gender roles which are imposed by society. Gender expression/presentation things that can relate to someone in relation to their gender, they may or may not be stereotypical. Though then again you could say this is just "personality". Gender has been in the past also used as a shorthand for sex. There is a lot of debate around what is gender and even what is sex these days, on the topic of social construction etc. 2. Not really and those fancier gender labels don't do anything for me either did try them once for a short time tho. I don't think it matters to define yourself that way for me at least. In the end people will always see you a certain way anyway whether it be by looks or act or whatever. 3. I guess for trans people in many cases but not all they feel dysphoria, some just feel tension or sorts or a strong sense of being something else as far as I know but I cant speak for it as there are several reasons. You can still be gender role non conforming and be cis or feel some tension with gender roles but you are cis because you accept gender you are born with you may or may not have a strong association with it some cis people do and some don't, and to me my gender is what I happen to be and something that affects my experience, rather than an identity on its own. I feel like gender divide has gotten too tight especially with like things like the toy industry we see that they are trying to sell double the amount of toys it is all about money :/ boys toys and girls toys. There might always be some loose social groupings and categories though ofc to some extent.

Hmm well in "micro-label" lingo one label might be Post-rubor aromantic someone who loses excitement and interest quickly of crushes/squishes. Another is Lithromantic when you lose interest when desire is reciprocated. To me though it sounds more like a crush just one that fades quickly as I associate butterflies or nervousness with such but then again some people probably do have slight nervousness to friends making approaching new friends especially if your shy so it might not be so clear cut. If you can't tell what they are maybe somethin more alterous or mixed feeling. I often got admiration in someone mixed up with certain feelings. Overall I wouldn't get too caught up in labelling and that. Overall its less about the label and more how you experience and feel it as.

Hm well this is my opinion I think. Everyday things you do is already "love" though I prefer not to call it that. More like happiness and passion and all that. The things you share with people, places you go, things you do, interactions all that. Like sharing and doing things and the things you get from that is already like essentially it. And when your a kid and your younger you are happy and don't even think about these expectations. I think in the end you just have to follow what you want and don't like always take things from others I think it's important to discover things for yourself that way you understand properly what your needs are. Rather than follow an idealised image which is probably not even completely real and from society.

Empty food cans Fizzy drinks but there is a hole in them so u lose the contents of it b4 u get home

Sounds well intentioned but honestly a bad move from so called friends of someone I don't get it when people try to hook others up unless they requested it or obviously want that. It's messing with other peoples business in a sort of way. I guess about jealously yea maybe like ya know if someone is in a romantic relationship I know they have less time for you or withold closeness unless its an open relationship. But overall I do not care if someone is able to make time for you then that is okay I think. I sucks though people don't think certain forms of closeness are legit unless you are coupled. I also had a situation with a supposed friend who kept promising to hang out with me (from her side) and yet never did. (To put it simply) another person sort of managed to get her to agree to plans and that gave me a pang of jealousy, although I think even they struggled. Though overall it was more frustration after I felt I put so much into things. Like not even one last meet up or just being able to sit down with a friend and get to know them better outside of the context you met them. It sucks. They were almost always in a hurry and left even while my other friends were not, and one of the times they did come I had to hurry off somewhere. :(

A lot of my friends are the opposite sex, so I guess lol But not so much in the non friend way nop if that's what ya mean

Ya know like at school did anyone used to play like house and do like a fake family roleplay. I think I often ended up as a dog or a side character of some sort xD I also seen older kids and teens like make fake pretend relationships/families with their friends decide who is child and that. Or fake weddings. Did anyone get involved in those lol. I watched a few fake weddings one was with those haribo rings.

I mean freud saw a lot of things as sexual xP though he sort of saw sexual as meaning "pleasure" in general. And that sexual energy can be channelled into lots of things such as creative pursuits. I mean with family or a caregiver there usually is some kind of bond or something. I kind of see attraction as more of a gravitation to something and feeling good I don't think that is necessarily sexual just that it can be. The reverse would be repulsion I suppose and then there is indifference. But I am not that deeply invested in the term sensual attraction either I can see it being suggestive of something else in some way too. XP still there are to me ppl who are more huggable than others or give off a vibe that is chill. One thing though it's not always apparent that some is a good hugger till you try and im not drawn so much to someone necessarily cuz they are good at it.
