    So I just found out that when people have a crush on someone and the crush doesn't like them back, they can't just stop feeling the feelings??? I thought everyone could just stop feeling a crush???

    Before I realized I was aro and had "crushes" I'd just...stop if they didn't like me back (they never liked me back).

    Wow I really am aro lol

      I've heard some gray-a people having had the same experience as well, but for sexual attraction:

      Lock-down mechanisms, being able to turn off sexual attraction based on context, inappropriateness. In a public setting, or if someone is unavailable (monogamously committed, asexual, not into you, etc). Is that repression? Is it inherently bad? Is it useful? How do you unlock, if context changes? Certainly this experience seems alien to media, which is often about unstoppable attraction. Can allo people do this? Do they notice? How conscious is it anyway?
