This isn't really a moment, but more of a passing thought that i had before i knew that aromanticism was a thing.
So my family has made fun of me since a young age about how i can't talk to girls, mainly because i've always been socially awkward and shy. I always thought this was ridiculous because i knew that i was just terrible at talking to people i didn't know, and i didn't know any girls; especially since i went to an all boys school for middle school. Because of this i have always this feeling in the back of my mind to talk to girls to prove my family wrong. So I thought that having a lesbian friend would solve my problem. It proves to my family that i can talk to girls, but a lesbian wouldn't interested in being anything but my friend. It was a kind of stupid thought.
I realise now that they were probably talking about flirting or something, so this wouldn't have stopped them making fun of me. But i guess they're kind of right, but for the wrong reasons. I couldn't flirt with someone if my life depended on it, but it's not because i'm socially awkward. The feeling in the back of my brain to push me toward talking to girls hasn't gone away since discovering aromanticism though sadly. It's basically ingrained into me at this point. Although now it's pushing me to become friends with any girl that i think is awesome.
