Right?? She should think about changing a job, as well as herself.

I'M LOOSING MY MIND!!! So yesterday in my class we were discussing "Song of songs", which is a biblical text (in case some of you didn't know), and basically it's about two people (lovers) worshipping eachother bodies. We were supposed to discuss only artistic values, but the topic of our conversation quickly transformed into a one strictly about love. The teacher asked us about our experiences with love and what do we think about it in general. When my turn came around, I said that I've never felt romantic love and probably never will, but I find the feeling itself interesting. Her reaction was... not something I expected. She told me that I'm stupid and immature for believing that, because human were created to fall in love and it's something natural that happens to everyone. It made me unbelievably mad, but I decided to stay calm and explain aromanticism to her. However as soon as I started, she told me 'she's not going to listen to some fifteen years old, that's clearly not ripe and mentally unavailable'?? Like what?? She also told me, that there's no way I'll be able to become a psychologist, or even live past 20 with that mindset, and that I should give up on trying. I'm so glad that she's not actually my teacher and that she was there only because my polish teacher was ill. Also I'm so sorry for ranting randomly, but I needed to get it out. Edit: Thank you all for your support! Even if I don't reply to all of the comments, I assure you that it still means a lot to me, really. I also have to say, that the headmaster has replied to my mother's message and told her, that she'll talk to the teacher tomorrow/on Monday! Edit 2: Sorry for not updating earlier, but I hadn't time to 💔 I do have good news though! The teacher didn't get fired, but she apologised to me and the headmaster sent her to some kind of a schooling! She won't be back for a while, 1 month I think.

Me! I didn't get a proper diagnosis, but my (old) therapist suspected it.

1. Music - I can't sing or play any instrument properly, but I love listening to it so much! I genuinely can't go a day without listening to it. Music is my everything. 2. Writing - I LOVE WRITING!!! I love making unrealistic (at least for me) stories with these silly litlle characters I've created. I love projecting my feelings onto them, because it (somehow) helps me understand myself. 3. Sports - especially volleyball, skiing and swimming!!! 4. My friends - we're hilarious together. They're all very dear to me. 5. Movies/series/books - I like them, because they consume a great amount of my free time.

Sure, you can do it!

I've had a dream where I was a celebrity, an actor to be precise, and I came out as aromantic during an interwiev! Nothing special, but it was pretty fun.

I've choosen my current name - no, it's not Keith. Keith is more of a nickname (it might became my name soon though, cause it's growing on me) - completely randomly... About two years ago, after I've been identifying as a trans person for a year ( I think??), I woke up and decided to call myself Eryk/Eric, because who's gonna stop me anyways?? But if you have trouble with choosing your name, maybe try to name yourself after something you like? For example after your favourite character, or your favourite thing (by naming yourself after your favourite thing I meant that you can try to look for a name similar to the word that describes this certain thing)!

I'm offened that I haven't found out about this thread before! (So technically I'm not offended by the post above me but I really wanted to join..)

Sure!!

W takim razie polecam Ci przeczytać! A moje ulubione historie ze ślepej uliczki to "Miasto bez ulic" i "Modelka".

Welcome!!

That's a good one... But I have no idea how to answer it, because I don't understand love. I can however back you up on this. Why did they choose love? And why the society has just accepted it? I refuse to belive that in the past people who weren't capable of it didn't exist. I know that humans have this habbit of sorting, so something had to be choosen, but (just like you've said) why love? Is it because that's a strong feeling? But why assume that everyone feels it? We've already come to realization that we're all different and very complex, so analogously - there is no such feeling that literally everyone feels.

I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies, something in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen And all its sad good-byes I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you, oh Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind Ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend (should've known better, yeah) And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you, oh Never without your love Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But now, who's gonna dance with me? Please stay And I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you, oh now that you're gone (Now that you're gone) was what I did so wrong, so wrong That you had to leave me alone?

I sometimes do. It's probably because whenever I talk about love with my friends or family I always mention that I don't understand it, and I see it as a really close friendship, and they always replay "How can you not understand it?" or "There's nothing to understand. It's a feeling. You'll know it's love when you'll feel it." and sometimes even "You should appreciate love more. It's a gift that God has blessed us with ages ago.". So even though I know that there's nothing wrong with me, I still have thoughts based on these things my closests ones have said to me.

Nie przeczytałem jeszcze wszystkich, ale jak na razie to "Tomie" i "Ślepa uliczka"!
