Atypique

As long as you feel like you'd fall somewhere under the spectrum, then I guess you are ?

The 1st one is absolutely great

Friendship isn't always that important to aromantic people

Wait. Are you... Aroace ?

You don't have to tell your friends. Even if you do want to, you don't even have to know it comes from that channel. Otherwise, if you tell them it's important, and if they care for you, they shouldn't try to mock you on that

I love how people have all kinds of styles ! I usually wear big geek t shirts with black pants, black boots with colorful shoelaces, chains and rings. Everything from the "Men"'s section cause that's where you find most of the interesting t shirts + POCKETS Aaaalso last winter I did have a leather jacket that I liked a lot. And I wear hoodies whenever it's too cold for me, always a bit oversized cause that's how I'm comfortable. I've gotten into overalls lately and they're fun and comfortable

I don't know what five below is but it does seem very great

I agree with this. Precising platonic for a friendship doesn't really make sense to me, unless people would assume it is not platonic. For example : - I'm really close and affectionate with one of my friends, and people often assume that we're together. In that case, I might say it's a platonic friendship - since the word friend is part of the words boyfriend and girlfriend, I can understand that people want to be more precise. Especially if the friend in question is neither a boy nor a girl - it could also be use with irony, since insisting on the "platonic" makes people wonder even more if that's actually true

I don't think I've ever made actual talking about it. My family doesn't really care about my orientation or me dating or not, so I told them but I don't even know if they listened that day. For people in general my best strategy was to put my flag a bit everywhere (aroace ring, bracelets, badges...) and then wait for someone to ask me what that is. With time I've become less an less willing to explain what I was so I tend to just say it's aromantic and "make your own search". Some people don't realize with flags so I just tell them if we're talking about dating at some point. Though it's been pretty easy for me since most of my friends are queer too, and not everyone is labeled and we don't really care

It's a nice system but they're not being synchronised I think. I just got frog badge whereas I've already been beelzebufo for a while now

What's the difference between the frog badges and the ranks ?

I discovered I was aromantic by being in a romantic relationship with someone. It didn't go well for me, I wasn't feeling good and I kept questioning our relationship (I already knew I didn't have feelings, but I thought they develop if I waited a little). After a few months my partner pointed out the problem and we broke up, and I started identifying as aro from there. Although I've started looking into it cause a friend said that might be me

There just has to be attraction : if there wasn't gravity, we wouldn't be able to live correctly. (Sorry for the bad joke) From what I see, it's not really question of seeing things through attraction or not, but more of a being aware and okay with the fact that everyone has a different experience. We're already marginalized, it would be sad to fight eachother
