Not me but my boyfriend and I are on the aro spectrum and he is on track to graduate high school with an associate degree and he is planning on going into the medical sciences field with a full ride scholarship.

I didn’t get a pic of it but Being aromantic was mentioned in my local news paper a while back

I relate a lot to looking glass from the watchmen show, Peter Neurev from Juno steel, and John from the Magnus Archives

Welcome to the Smiley face on paper club!

I’m Demi-ro so looks like I’m getting a smiley face drawn on paper

Got to read it for school and look into the history of it and that is what happened the author based the Jo character off herself and she never got married nor wanted a husband the publishers wanted the book to be more socially acceptable and so they made her add in the character. (This is not confirmed but i read somewhere she purposely made him twice her age and unattractive so she could get back at the publishers by not giving them “Prince Charming”)

I’m sorry you feel that way while I’m Demi romantic and can’t help too much maybe you could consider a queer platonic relationship or committed friendship?

Oh no I’m going to be eating a lot of cheeses apparently the best person wins a mandatory stay at a middle school for a year.

True! Two younger siblings tpbm has a cat(s)

“just draw money or a croissant whenever”

Sounds like an amazing thing for my trash can to have. next person gets a TV that only plays American politics at full volume.

Update; it is so sad I Finished it and cried.

I can only relate to parts of this being a Demi-ro with different life experiences but I understand the “something is not right”. This whole essay is beautifully written and conveys so much emotion in your words it makes me feel emotions I went through of not feeling normal and the pang in my heart that came with that. All in all this is an amazing piece and I’m so glad you found a community here with everyone including myself.

Money probably I just want top surgery lol and I think a genie would twist it in some way money or being able to speak 100 languages of your choice

I’m reading “bastard out of Carolina” by Dorthy Allison it’s southern gothic and really good so far.

Welcome to the Demi-aro gang!

Going to give it to my little brother and see how he responds the next person wins a security guard who is actually just a clown in disguise

If it’s my size that’s perfect I lost one the next person gets one 14 inch index fingernail from your least favorite relative

That’s helpful to hear that at least I’m not overthinking things, sometimes I feel like I’m making a big deal over nothing and that I sound like a whiny teenager I’m going to see what options I have considering one of the teachers is our assistant principal who manages reports.

So something I have thought about a little bit over the past few days is how often I get asked how it feels to feel romantic attraction by other people on the aro community that don’t experience romantic attraction or are unsure about their identity. So I think I should say this: romance will not feel the same for any two people, romance like gender is a very individual experience, sadly it is unlikely asking people how it feels to be in love (romantically) will tell someone enough to determine if they are aromantic or not. Your identity is your own and it is ok if you don’t understand it yet. (Also I should say I am not frustrated at all about these questions I just figure this might be helpful for some people.)
