  1. There’s a whole label (acoro-) that means: “Is someone whose negative experiences with romance has alienated them from Allo-Romanticism” another one is one that relates to being Neurodivergent and that affecting your romantic attraction .

    Essentially, I identify with Acororomantic a bit and I don’t think it makes up the entirety of my Aromanticism for others, that may be different and that is entirely fine! Others may feel that past experiences with romance may have brought them to be Aro-spec/Ace-spec, which I don’t believe make them any less Aromantic than anyone else in my opinion.

    and maybe it's the limbic system being messed up. because the Insula seems to do nothing that relates to romance. While the striatum seems just seems to be motor movements and reward sectors.

    The amygdala is part of the Limbic System, if the limbic system happened to be messed up emotions could be affected also. As the amygdala controls the flow of certain hormones, such as Fear, agression, rage, and even sexual feelings. If this were damaged, could the emotions for Fear be repressed or less severe?

    If you’re from the DMV (DC/MD/VA) or would like to come to a trip to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, let me know in the replies! I’ve seen a few posts here about aro meetups and I thought it would be fun to have a little group of us go to a museum. Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in and I can get started with planning and putting flyers up outside. It would be in the summer to allow people time to plan. I have no aro friends so I thought, why not! :)

    Darn! I wish I could attend, the issue is I'm underage and I'm in the NW corner of MD, so it may not be the most practical, 

    Why do I have to be young! D:

  3. Ah, makes sense now! Thank you :D I dont play switch cause I'm an xbox type of fella. Thus y'know Halo takes up lots of my life.

    I didn’t know there were 2000 replies on this either. XD

    I just love that you can make vehicles as well in totk! They took pretty much every chug and made a feature to replace it! Plus the entire landscape changed even if I’m some areas it was just slightly! :D

    Oh no, it’s a very hot game right now so it’s understandable but DANG!

    Yeah, companies charge a lot when it comes out, doesn't make much sense besides the fact there's demand for it, Legends of Zelda is a huge fandom I never got into so I dunno what to add for this.

    Understandable. The new Zelda game is like 70$ but it’s worth every cent. XD

    Oh jeez, Thats how much nintendo is charging for zelda, sheeeeesh.. Makes me feel not as bad about my numerous DLCs I've purchased for Cities: Skylines

    Nah it’s just religious, I’ll only explain if you want but I don’t see it really as necessarily to the conversation. Either way though if we could, we’d all change the seminary classes time but the only option is after school and the teachers would still be working. 

    Oh okay, that's fine. You got any hobbies? Curiosity I guess sorry if that's weird

    I’m doing alright, though as usual, I’m tired. I mean I have to wake up at 5:00 for school so my ability to process things in the morning is bull crap. XD

    5:00??? Thats impossible, what time do you get out from school? That is seriously an absurd time for high school..

     

    Understandable, I remember I got through freshman year with just Black Coffee. I don't recommend it every day.. (like I did)

    I’ll try not to be a jerk, I mean at that point there’s not too much distinguishing freshman from sophomores so idrk if I’d be like that.

    In terms of maturity something happens for most freshman to sophomore between summer which changes them to be more mature. Keep in note the word most, as not everybody experiences that. 

  9. You both are freshmen? best of luck for sophomore year haha. the sophomores see themselves like above the freshman, although it really has only been one year. (not me though)

    What are everyone's plans for summer?

     

    I dunno, Maybe attempt to get a job, depends if parents will let me get my permit. If not maybe we might head south to NC or SC.

    why the panic?

    So, I have some friends who are seniors, they really have 5 days left in school. We text each other and stuff but like. It wont be the same, y'know?

    as a random suggestion: you should probably ditch the "4.6.10 default" theme bc it's not right (it's blue, the logo is non-existent, etc.)

    i am aware that "green" themes solve his problem eay peasy but i see  no point in keepin the default theme when the green ones are obviously the ones that everyone uses anyways

    personally I use this theme. The green one is okay, its just a bit busy imo

  12. So, I have a dilemma, basically. I am in my french class. This is a college course + it's accelerated. I don't wanna do this class, but I can't switch out now or it'll show up as a "fail" on my transcript. I gave it a week, and apparently, the week I gave was the one-week transition period. So, now I'm stuck in this class. I don't know what to do. I have a 20% in this class, she wants me to stay after on Wednesday, but I just can't do it. 

     

    Fellow teens, your advice is appreciated.

    am I the only one who is a proud single pringle on valentines day, but still, kinda feels upset that they don't get chocolate or presents from a partner as all the "normal" people do? Like IK I can buy myself chocolate and gifts. but it isn't the same though. is that weird?

    Yeah, thats how I'm feeling, My friends who do have a partner I'm happy for, its just this day seems very upsetting for me (and maybe other aros). I feel like this day really isn't supposed to be for me, and being around people who do it.
