  1. I don't like when my friends joke like this around me either. It's very easy for them to say hurtful things if they can just say that they were joking about it and that's not cool. it's very understandable to be annoyed with this and you're definitely not over-sensitive.
  2. ödmjukt, besynnerlig, förunderlig, jærtegn, svävande, glimt, lykta, drottning, anrik, astrologi, domherre, konung, viktoriansk, väva, tydlig, as for english words, the only ones that come to mind atm are obscure, curious, clarity, cherish, meticulous & clockwork sorry there are so many haha
  3. I, an aromantic, relate a lot to what you're describing, if that helps. The crushes you're experiencing might be what many people describe as "squishes" Good luck in your questioning!
  4. i feel like gender identity is a bit different than being aro and/or ace spec, it's not about attraction which i'd argue the aromantic and asexual spectrums are about. however, i'm very open to the idea that i might be wrong in thinking this. and i agree with nonmerci, do agender people want to be included in the a-spec? did we include them without asking them about where they feel they belong? i personally don't include agender people in the a-spec and i don't see many posts mentioning agender people along with aro and ace people. i'd argue we share the a but not the a-spec? maybe?

  6. Frogs, cats, ghosts, succulents, robots and ice-cream are pretty aro to me. And arrows, of course.
  7. You sound on the aromantic spectrum to me. And in regards to sexual attraction, there's aceflux as well, just like aroflux. You sound like you could be both? I relate a lot to this actually! ^^ Don't feel guilty. The relationships you have with other people don't have involve romantic attraction to be meaningful, and you don't owe anyone romantic feelings.
  8. Might I just say that the word you may be looking for instead of aro-spec is greyromantic? It's a word both used as an orientation label and as an umbrella term for the grey area on the aromantic spectrum. The aro spec encompasses aromantic as well, you see.
  9. i just said "omg" out loud to this. i relate /so/ much. welcome to arocalypse!!
  10. I follow someone on tumblr who sometimes posts their thoughts and opinions about books they've found through this database: the-probable-aro is the blog url.
  11. i hope being sick is a good enough excuse not to study because otherwise i'm going to drown in guilt and anxiety.

      Absolutely. Your body will recover faster with rest instead of cramming studying stress, right? Get well soon!

  12. I feel you. Here's a thread with a playlist of aro friendly songs: Here's a thread too: Hope this helps I'm not sure how aro and ace friendly they are, but I hope you can relate to most of them anyway.
  13. yes hello it's me, the third wheel.

  14. Friends. friends. frie n ds. fr i en d s. f r i e n d s. f r i e n d s.
  15. I love this song! "Glitter and Gold" by the same artist is a favorite of mine as well.
  16. The (not so) Nice Guy is back and he wants to be friends. No thank you.

     

    Someone should write a song for Nice Guys Who Cannot Take a Hint.

  17. today i learnt that my mum is not accepting of aro/ace people. good to know. won't come out to her about it now that i know she won't understand or accept me.

     

     

    i feel empty and lost.

      I'm sorry for you :( I'm sending you a ton of virtual hugs <3 If you like them, if not think of virtual cookies they're cool too.

      that's horrible, poor you. I'm sure you'll meet heaps more people throughout your life that accept and love every part of you. For now, look after yourself.

      i'm sorry you have to deal with this :( i hope she comes around some day, and in the meantime we're all here to support you :aroicecream:

  18. my friend, who knows i'm aro, basically looked like the winky face when we were listening to my favourite songs a week ago. because apparently they are songs about romantic love.

     

    what she doesn't get is that i listen to them /despite/ the romance. 

  19. I just got asked out on a date. Though I knew it was coming and that he would eventually ask, I still feel unprepared. I do not want to go on a date with him or anything like that, but saying "no" apparently isn't working, considering this is the third time he's suggested being more than friends. To be honest, I don't even want to be friends with him in the first place.

     

    This sucks.

      Send him this song: 

       
      It's not the most polite thing to do but if he keeps asking you and making you uncomfortable when you clearly said no that's called harassment and that's a serious issue that you don't have to go through. Guys can't except you to respect them when they're clearly not respecting you and this song is also really cool and I'm really glad for it. Because for once we have the friendzone from the point of view of the person who friendzone and not the other way around.

      @Costati Thank you for the awesome song!!

      He doesn't even get to be my friend though, not after today. I didn't reply to his message about going out on a date yesterday, which he got angry about because he thought I was ignoring him on purpose (which I was). Today I was therefore welcomed by a long rant about how he has no friends and everyone leaves him, how it's unfair that people don't like him and that he is considering moving somewhere else or taking his life because he's never had a girlfriend.

       

      I basically told him to fuck off after that.

      That's so sad that this guy ils trying to guilt trip you into a relationship. Like okay you're sad so what you're gonna pressure someone (and an aro at that) in a relationship they'll clearly feel sad about because I guess if it's someone other than you who's sad that's okay ?! What is wrong with people (and mostly men because I've never actually seen or heard about a girl doing that) that think they deserve us because...they're sad (or sometimes it's because they've been nice to us..beeing nice to someone is not doing nice things for them in hope they will bang you in return...that's just called being a manipulative d-bag ). This is such a stupid mentality. Good on you for being strong about it :aroicecream:
