I chose my online alias, Robin, because I felt a weird connection to the name before even choosing it. It's nowhere close to my real name, which I am not changing, at least yet, and it gives me a sense of security?

DE ER TRANSPARANTE!  DU KAN SE ØYNENE MINE!

One teacher I'll call Mr. Evil was my teacher for about 5 years in elementary school.

He:

-ALWAYS Made me sit in front row and stared at me creepily

-Yelled at us when we didn't know how to do a math problem etc

-In music class we just listened to CDs and drew stuff

-Made us play the TRIANGEL at school shows (I'm not kidding, wish I was)

-Was like 60 years old, very ancient with his teaching methods (yelling, table smashing+)

-Made us go through the same history book THRICE in different grades

Another bad teacher I had I'll call Ms. Terrible:

-Literally BULLIED my friend and their siblings so that they had to change schools

-Was very racist

-Taught English grammar wrong

Mr. Evil retired and Ms. Terrible was fired but somehow got accepted into MY SCHOOL. I've seen her multiple times but just swiftly walk past and don't talk to her. Haven't seen Mr. Evil in years

Queen, Gorillaz, Foo Fighters - all such great & classic choices!

Owl City! I don’t think there’s an album in its entirety which gives me as much nostalgia as Ocean Eyes (oh my goodness, let’s chat about it!).

Do you have a favourite Queen song? ‘Barcelona’ was this for me at one stage - it’s so dramatic!

I'm new to your other suggestions, or only know them by name! Where would you suggest beginning with any of these?!

My favorite Queen songs are Radio ga ga, Face it alone, We are the champions, Spread your wings, Keep passing the open windowså and Killer queen! Can't choose just one, that'd be impossible

Jack stauber: I suggest you start from Pop food, probably from the songs 'Buttercup' and 'Dog nightmare'. He makes avant garde/experimental pop/rock music

Mother mother: 'o my heart' and 'ghosting' are great songs and 'hayloft 2' is more aggressive. I have no idea how to describe their genre

SIAMES: try 'the wolf' and 'mr. Fear', mr. Fear is my favorite song right now. They make electro I think?

Authority zero: 'revolution riot' and 'when we rule the world'. They're a punk-rock band, Green day vibes

the Used is another rock-punk band. 'the bird and the worm', 'the ripper' and 'hospital' are my favorites from them

Cage9 is also a rock band. I have way too many faves but I love 'starry eyes', '1984' and 'hearts and stars'

Twenty one pilots: Idk how to describe their genre either. Try 'holding on to you', 'guns for hands' and 'stressed out' for example

Linkin park: 'numb', 'castle of glass' 'until it breaks' and 'breaking the habit' are great songs

Sleeping at last: he makes peaceful mostly piano-based songs. Try 'mars', 'neptune' or 'woodwork'

Cemeteries: 'empty camps' 'can you hear them sing' and 'luna (moon of claiming' 

And of course we can discuss Ocean Eyes! My personal favorite album from Owl city is Midsummer station

Now:

1: Meal: Chicken and rice

2: Snack/desert/junk food: Hazelnuts
3: Movie: Bohemian Rhapsody
4: TV show: the Queen's Gambit or Teen Wolf
5: Book/Series: 
6: Music/Song: Mr. Fear by SIAMES

Top song was 'Doubt' by Twenty One Pilots... listened to it 202 times, which might have been a bit excessive? 

Aaaaaaa I love twenty one pilots

If I had to choose a favorite, it would be Queen or Linkin park

...how dating at 15 is considered normal but the thought ot not wanting to date at 15 is beyond most people.

This is not rant but I'm genuinely confused.

When some teen is aroace they're "too young to get it" but two 15 year olds can have sex? Is that actually considered more normal than not wanting to date? I was baffled when I found out that 15 year olds actually do it while I don't even wanna date. If you ask me, puberty is usually when you figure it out.

If someone comes out as LGBT+ at 15, they're told they're not old enough to understand (from my own experiences and what my aquaintances have told me) but straight 15 year old having sex is normal and they're "old enough to understand"? It's so weird to me. 

It's a character called Zacharie from OFF. He has two masks so I drew two of him

o same. im a hobbyist and my pfp is one of the pieces i drew lmao

Same here

Music and art all the way. Composing songs, playing instruments and seeing how far I can go with it! One day I want to play in band for a living. Already have, but it was a local small band and we didn't go anywhere with our music

When it comes to writing I also love worldbuilding so much. I have multiple entire books of only lore for my worlds. 

I really like digital painting and drawing and have created 100+ original characters, haha. 

I genuinely love these things so much

This is more of a rhetorical question, but what happens if you tell her to stop? A close friend should be someone you are safe to come out to and should be someone who respects your boundaries and cares about your safety/wellbeing. You should be safe to come out but you shouldn't have to come out. "Please stop shipping with me people or teasing me about having crushes whenever I mention anyone else" is a very reasonable request, and I would honestly fear that if it's not enough for your friend, coming out won't be either. I'm sorry. :(

If I ask her to stop, she shuts up about it and talks about something else, but doesn't apologize and resumes eventually, after some days.

I don't want to come out because I'm afraid word will spread and living in very conservative place with unfortunate events regarding LGBTQIA+ people, it would probably become a 'thing', mostly likely eventually reaching my brother, which wouldn't be a good thing. That being put aside, I don't know if my friend would understand. That one time I told her that I didn't want romantic relationship with my 'crush' (it was aesthetic + a total stranger) she was like "aaaaww :( I'm sure you'll find someone" and when I told her that I didn't want a relationship with anyone, she said "oh really? 😏" and when I said I didn't want that, she kind of changed the subject to her own relationship and told me about how she wasn't sure if she liked her crush (now boyfriend) at first and that I would find someone eventually. Then the conversation ended because we had to go to class. 

The problem is that she can't quite catch on the idea of NEVER wanting a relationship. I wear two bracelets, the sunset aroace flag and ace flag, but she has never asked about them. I kinda hope she would.

More rambling:

I can't probably come out face to face because we can only see each other at school and it's not very private place. I may do it in the beginning of next June because;

1. She has two months to process it before we start in high school (I'll be 16 though, not 14, our grades are a bit different from USA)

2. It's pride month so it may be easier?

3. I find it WAY easier to talk about it through text

I have considered coming out to another friend this weekend because she is LGBTQIA+ and very accepting, and I have done it before I realized I was aroace. It's also good because my identity has changed. I had that "I must be biromantic because everyone feels the same" but, well, my 13 year old self was not the sharpest tool in the shed

Title. My problem is being shipped with everyone. From childhood amab friends to classmates and even teachers.

Hetero- and amatonormativity, creepiness (?) and swear words warning

My closest (and probably only) friend, who is an allo cis girl, keeps shipping me with people. One time it was my childhood friend from when I was 4, sometimes my male classmates, sometimes teachers, random people, actors, she has no limits.

I am afab and she is very heteronormative. She only ships me with guys.

If I mention someone who happen to be male she's like "oooooh Robin has crush!!!!!!" and even though it's a joke, I hate it. If I look at random male person, she goes "oooh who ya looking at?" Sometimes at lunch she's like "next boy who walks in is Robin's crush!!" If I mention a male actor I like (especially a specific one) she thinks I have a crush on him. I like their acting skills, for fuck's sake.

She may address me by some random boy's surname. This has happened at least thrice. She may even call other people our children.

If I mention that I like a certain class (with a male teacher ofc) she's like "oooh teacher crush eh??"

One time in class I was labeled as trans because I have a pretty deep voice and then I was shipped with, you guessed it, a female peer.

And no, I am not kidding. She actually does all this. It's been going on about a year and I have told her to stop multiple times but she doesn't. I've had literal insomnia because of fear of her starting rumours of me. Generally she's nice but this shit is going overboard. I am seriously considering coming out to her. 

And after all this she wonder why I don't want to visit her or have sleepover.

Warning for aphobia and toxic people

I haven't really come out but have hinted at it. Looking at the responses I might just keep it to myself...

"Oh, you'll find someone!"

"But you said you like [guy]" (It was aesthetic atrrac.)

"I can help you feel and look more attractive!"

"I wouldn't date you either"

"I'll set you up with someone!"

"You're just a late bloomer."

"So you're gay?"

"You don't know how to talk to boys."

And the worst one 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁:

"Do you really find yourself so repulsive that you don't want to date?"

Most of the "good" reactions were just mutrering like "mmhkay". So yeah.

English

I can't speak from experience because I'm not demiromantic, but here's something I found:

"- You desire romantic relationships, but do not develop instant crushes or fall in love “at first sight.”

- When you first meet someone you find attractive, there’s an absence of romantic attraction, although you might be sexually attracted to them or want to pursue a friendship.

- You strongly identify with the “friends-to-lovers” genre.

- After looking at your dating history, you notice that romantic stirrings only began once a heartfelt connection was forged.

- It’s easy for you to have a sexual relationship with someone, but love only happens after you’re emotionally invested."

I hope this helps at least a bit

"Aro rings are white rings worn on middle finger left hand; ace rings are black rings worn on middle finger right hand."

This is what I found. You can search "aromantic ring" and you'll find different options for rings

CURSIVE

Being aromantic may not be easy for some people but it sure is to me. I genuinely would rather be aro than allo.

The point of this post isn't to demonize alloromantic people and their relationships. It's about how I view world as aro.

My friend is in relationship with guy. At one point he said to her that 'maybe our thing is pointless and stupid' and ghosted her for a long time. They are still together. I don't know how. She is planning their future together.

People will be talking about problems in relationship and heartbreak but I'm cool knowing I don't experience that. I can spend my days not worrying about being cheated on because I am single. I don't worry about being single either. I am going to study until 20 and if by then my romantic orientation don't change, I'm cool with it.

Being aromantic is nice, I like it. I may be pressured into relationship and told 'you will have boyfriend one day, you will have children and move together and get married' but I do my best to ignore that. I've seen what marriage can be if it not perfect. It a mess.

I've observed how my friends change when in relationship. One of them changed completely and apparently is embarrassed of me when I happen to walk past him with her. She sometimes tells me not to come to certain hallway at school when they're there. Too bad my lockers there so I have to, sorry. One of my friends dated for year and they broke up. She was not doing well after that, but is now. One of my former friends is dating a player, what they are aware of. Does love really blind people to what the other person has done? I think it's scary.

Anyway that was my thoughts on being aro 

When I found label "aromantic" I decided to snatch it to myself and see if it fits, and it did! I though I was bi for a long time because "I feel same of boys and girls" but little did I know. I literally went through at least 15 romantic orientations before even thinking of aromantic.

It was very easy for me to accept being aromantic. I never wanted relationship, never had romantic crush, kissing and cuddling makes me uneasy and I can't picture myself in relationship without physically cringing. Finding out I was aromantic was definitely a relief instead of shock.

I can understand how it's hard for some people to accept being aromantic, and it's okay.

The norm is you grow up, find a partner, settle down. The norm is to have a dating life. People assume something is wrong with you if you have no romantic or sexual experiences.

I agree with this. Anytime someone talks about future they say "when you have partner" instead of "if" and it can feel like a massive pressure, like you just have to do it. Life is short and if there is something you don't want to do, you should leave it out. Live how you want.

Imagine hearing 'peepee poopoo' and then your leg is gone

I had a dream where my mom found out I was aro because I had a flag with an aro flag and an ace heart in the middle on my wall. She looked at a picture on her laptop, then at my flag and did it a few times and was like "hmmm I see"

Another dream I had was my mom asked me "in what size do you want your ace flag?" and I was like "uh what" and she said "I know you're ace"
