Watching romance and just thinking " wow these people really don't know to make good decisions " and being romance repulsed for my entire childhood

When I went to high school and suddenly people started talking about crushes and relationships and they'd describe how it feels for them and usually everybody relates to it and I'm just there like " ah yes, very relatable" and also growing up I never really had any interest in romance in fact I hated everything related to it and I never understood how it affects some people's decisions or when I'm with my friends and one them describes something as romantic and the others agree and I'm just there like "what is that supposed to mean" I can't really put it into words like I was just scrolling randomly one day and I saw a video where it was like "signs that you might be aromantic" and I related to most of them so I did some more research and that's how I kinda knew But I'm still kinda hesitant to call myself aromantic because a part of me thinks that it's just the fact that I grew up in society where romance and all that kind of stuff were considered taboo and most of the kids tv show censored it so my brain just kinda refuses to accept it but I do think that I'm definetly on the aro spectrum
