  1. I thought I would give a bit of an update on this: Obviously one week isn't going to bring all of the answers but right now this is just my thought process. I do have a hard time getting close to people, but I believe that has more to do with my lack of attraction (i.e., I probably would be on the aromantic spectrum whether or not I had these issues, but because it takes me getting close to people to have those attractions, my struggle to connect to people leads to me experiencing it potentially less than I would if I didn't have struggles). As for labels, while I don't particularly feel the need to have a specific label, I would say that I most likely am either demiromantic or grey-romantic. Either way, I don't see myself being in a romantic relationship anytime soon and I am not too worried about it either.
  2. Hi y'all, I don't know if I count as somewhere on the aro spectrum or if it is merely something related to some other issues? To explain: I have only felt what I might consider romantic attraction twice in my life, maybe three times (aside from a few things I thought were that but were just wanting to be friends/ect). The thing is, I also have a hard time feeling things towards people anyways as friends or otherwise. I like the idea of romance and dating, but I get places and the attraction just isn't there towards anyone (save those two examples, both of whom were/are close friends that I care/cared more about the friendship than anything). Recently I started going to therapy and my therapist said something about my childhood apparently being pretty much in aggressive environments (at schools and camps, I won't go into detail but because of it I have some fairly severe anxiety). So I am not sure if I actually am somewhere on the aromantic spectrum or I just have issues connecting to people because of these issues. Any advice? I do plan on talking about this more in therapy as well (also I know being aromantic isn't something that needs to be fixed, I just don't know for myself) Thanks :)
