HAHAHA that's a good one

I've had people that have implied it while talking to me, like not say it straight up but implying I didn't know an essential part of life. that or treat me like I'm naive just because I don't give a damn about sex😒

this is a stereotype I've been dealing with a lot of time. there will be people that treats you like a child because you haven't had a romantic or sexual relationship, but really they should know better. its just nonsense, maturity doesn't have anything to do with those experiences, believe me

oh I've been there. the "sexually attracted to someone so I told everybody I had a crush so I could feel that I'm like everyone else". 100% has happened to me. I even told my parents about it as acecream has said, I can't tell you if you are aro or not but you should look up queer platonic relationships. you may not fall in love with sarah but you can attempt to have that kind of relationship with them. also, you can do "romantic" things like hugging or kissing without being romantically attracted to them. I know aromantic is a hard romantic orientation and there isnt a lot of information about it, but things will get better. I was scared when I found out too and there are hard days because I'm still figuring things out (I discovered it only some months ago), but aromanticism has also make me value a lot more platonic and familial love. I know that in this society being in love romantically with someone seems like the best that could happen to you, but there are A LOT of wonderfull kinds of love that are also beautiful and worth your time and energy

HAHAH didn't really think about it!! cloud is just a pun with my real name

ooh thanks to both of you!! I will try what you have told me c:

yo también!!! :O conoces si hay en Madrid algún grupo de aros o algo así? me gustaría mucho conocer gente aro en la vida real🥺

omg hii I'm Spanish too Te importa si te pregunto de que parte eres? no hace falta que me contestes si no te sientes cómoda c:

They already know I'm aroace because I told them just as soon as I knew. They kind of had a feeling before I even realised it myself, because I always told them how I had this "crush" with a girl I met but I didn't want to get involved in a romantic relationship with her (turns out it was a squish) or how I am not attracted to anyone in the movies... well they know me well enough I know I need to speak to them, but I'm thinking how to do it because they are the best people I know and I don't want to pressure them or make them think they need to sacrifice something because of me. But I will figure it out with time I hope About this, I reaaally would like to have one but I don't know any aro people irl :( I know I could have one with someone who's not aro but I don't want to engage in a platonic relationship with someone that later on will not be down for it. I have a really strong platonic attraction towards people I'm interested in so I don't want this happening again But one of the main reasons of starting on this forum is to know more aro people. I also want to meet aro people irl but since I'm more of an introvert I'm doing this slowly lol. However, do you know meeting sites for aro people? I am really interested in those👀 I'm really really thankful for your advice, it has gave me some kind of hope that I am not going to feel forever like this so thank you c:

Sure!!! I really want to meet more aro people

Hii I'm cloud. I'm 21 and I use she/her pronouns. I don't usually meet people online and I like being quiet in my social media, so it's kind of my first time trying to join a community online c: Okay so, I'm aroace on the gray spectrum. I'm gratefully surrounded by queer people irl but I don't know any aro people and talking to my friends or family about this is awkward sometimes, specially since I don't understand a lot of things because I discovered I'm aro just a few months ago. I hope I can learn more about myself here!! Anyways, I have a lot of hobbies and they change every other week, but to sum it up I like cooking, video games, watching series, reading books, webcomics and manga aaand I love spending cuality time with my loved ones c: Nice to meet y'all ✌

Kind of a sad post, sorry. I'm just lost. I love my best friends. I have two of them and I have thought of them as my soul mates since a very long time. Of course, I have never felt romantic or sexual attraction towards them. But when I discovered I was aroace I also realized I am in love with them platonically. But it hurts. You see, they both have partners and although they have told me our friendship is first I can't get over the idea of being abandoned. It's just that everyone around me has always said that having a romantic partner is like the biggest achievement of our life. So when I think of the future I wish for my best friends to live with me, even raise a family together. But that won't be it, right? They will form a family with their partners and I will live alone and I need to come to terms with that but I don't know how. I have just came from a movie night with them and their partners and I feel miserable. I enjoyed being with them and I love that they have invited me because they have thought of me to watch this movie. But it hurts to know I won't be anyone's priority ever. Sorry, I know this is long, it's just that I don't know any aro people irl so I don't have anyone to talk about this stuff.
