(Note: worry not, no small children were sacrificed in the making of this post. And yes, that was an exaggeration, I don't actually dislike small children enough to sacrifice one to a volcano. Almost, but not quite, because basic human morality.)
Describes me well.
Also, no, my aro-ness and ace-ness, or any other -ness, has nothing to do with me not wanting children. Those are two different things. -
Ooh! This exists?! I would love to play Minecraft in a server with other a-spec people!

If I'm being honest, I'm aware of the fact that it's gonna be hard to explain the attraction I have towards my friend (since it's neither romantic, platonic or sexual), and I do love her a lot and we've been talking about getting into a queer platonic relationship for a while now but the alterous attraction is the most accurate description to what I feel. It's emotional, since I couldn't care less what she looked like, and it's just I love her more than platonic and more deeply than platonic but not in the romantic sense. The romantic feelings never made sense to me.
Thank u sm for that, again, I'm not actively trying to label my feelings for anyone since I reached a point about 2 months ago when I was like 'ya know what, it's my business what I feel and hers, that's literally it', so a label just complicated things, however this label does make the most sense out of all the other ones I've seen.
You are welcome, Arden. I am glad I could help you out on this!
Not to say I know what it's like to experience alterous attraction, but that sounds accurate to me!-

I hope you are aware of this but just to make it clear to you. This is a small site. If you point this site out to your Councillor and they look around here they could quite easily match you to your profile based on the fact they know you were looking to give aro resources to them. From that they could find any other online presence you have with that name. If you are ok with that fine but I think its fair to bring up to people that there is that consequence.
Oh, sheesh, I am so sorry, I did not realise that her account could be traced back to her!
Be careful, @TheNothingFairy!-

Hi @Storm_leopardcat! It's Georgia! This font also has 'a', 'r' & 'o' within its name, as does Times New Roman. Could it be that all fonts secretly support our aromantic advocacy?
Hello there, the more the merrier! Glad to meet you!

Oh he does, that’s not what I (and by extention, certain critics) mean by ‘low on romance/tame romance’. A lot of popular fantasy right now happens to be in the young adult department and I just can’t handle the endless pining, jerky behaviour and (the horror!) love triangles. They also take up way to much of the plot and are therefore almost impossible to ignore.
Ugh, I hate that!
Why are so many young-asult novels, especially the dystopian, science fiction, or fantasy ones, so focused on romance as a main genre, and with relationships?-

Pain.
(What's with the numbers in brackets, next to the words?) -
Milk, because certain cereals taste better when they are not soggy.
But I do put cereal first, at times.
Mainly used to be milk first, due to us having our cereal with hot milk in the mornings before school, as a breakfast. -

@MulticulturalFarmer, I’m so sorry.
Five years of academic leave due to ill-health has sharpened loneliness beyond previous experience, and I’ve found it hard to think about my own loneliness for most of my life, so thank you very much for writing all of this - perhaps leading by example, if you don’t mind this idea, by sharing this with us here. Loneliness and its companions can have such a huge physical impact, so opening up as you do sounds so healthy.
When reading your words on shared interests, the idea of ‘cross-pollination’ comes to mind, and I wonder if it would suit you. With so many different passion and interests, the way another looks at the world, or their specific technical acumen, can lend such fresh perspectives to a question or to an idea, or introduce to you to new concepts which you can borrow metaphors or understanding from and trade insights from your favoured worlds in return.
On the other hand, knowing what delights you and wanting to share that is wondrous too, as you deep-dive into your element with others. Perhaps, in this vein, you might be the one to introduce someone to their next love (no-romo) and, even if a new friend doesn’t share your interests just yet, if they’re open to this and would like to learn more, perhaps, in time, you might share a whole heap of intellectual connections.
As one further small thing, I once heard the perspective that sharing “disposition is more important than shared interests”. At the time, I didn’t understand this at all, yet I think I’m beginning to (even if I disagree with the ’vs’ element of it). The above is fantastic, and melding as a team is golden. People can give each other so much, and this goes beyond all of this, scientific discipline and anything else that may differentiate us, preference-wise.
I wonder how you find being a friend to yourself, too. It sounds like you trust the choices you’ve made so far, yet our inner critic is a constant friend for many of us. I hope that we can relax into 2023 and towards being good to and for others. I, for one, would love to learn more about STEM and history (which are the best!) and I’d love to get (voice) penpal-ing!
@MulticulturalFarmer, I don’t know why I concentrated on one aspect when there’s so much to reflect on in your post. I can’t wait to read more thoughts from others about everything you’ve shared, whether that’s here or in future discussions about intersectionality!
What font is this?
