oh my :s mine are like this too, but sometimes we have period 0 or period 5 for extension subjects. literally. I'll have a 50 minute lunch break and spend 45 minutes of it in line because people wont stop pushing in. I just don't bother with lines anymore unless it's a wednesday, because they have chicken katsu on wednesdays and it's my favourite. although since I'm in yr 11 this year I'm hoping I'll have some free periods that align with lunch, so I can get in the line early. i dont get how they can only give you 17 minutes for all this TT 59

oh woah. my days have 6 periods at most. do you find it tiring to have so many, or is it just normal for you? 45

hello

4 free periods? how many periods does your school have? that's nearly a whole school day for me. 38

I can't imagine touch in a romantic context, but I like hugging, leg stacking (?idk what to call this, but its really comfortable, even if it sounds weird. like. you just pile your legs on top of each other. great for cold weather.), hand-holding and even kisses if they're cheek or forehead kisses. Only with my friends, though. When I was younger, I used to be affectionate /kiss my family members but I went through a period of time where I was scared that the people/things I saw weren't actually what I thought they were and that I was just hallucinating, so I got out of the habit of it for fear of unintentionally kissing a stranger. now I'm very uncomfortable with it. Sometimes I'll hug my parents to make them happy, though. I've always been uncomfortable with air kisses or kiss-greetings.

creating things... I make little animal figurines out of cafe surviettes and stick figures out of wires. and I love gifting things ive knitted /crocheted to my friends. I just need to find someone who loves gift receiving as much as i like gift giving :)

yes, I think you're right about this. I've been wanting to mention my identity to some people and I'm scared they won't believe me. I remember though some people have been shocked before at my low levels of attraction, so I suppose i shouldn't worry too much... ultimately, I do relate more to aros and feel a disconnect from my allo friends in regard to romance. i actually suspect one of my friends might be aromantic though, unsure if i should bring it up with her. sometimes i worry im lying about being aro just because i like the flag colours. my brain really loves finding any way to get myself to doubt my identity :p thank you for these sources/explanations, theyre very helpful

probably way too much context: so im 16 for reference (partially why im questioning). ive felt romantic attraction twice: once when I was 9, and again when i was 11 (i suppose this would be my "boy crazy" phase? (a sad excuse for one if you ask me lol)). the first instance lasted for around four weeks while the second lasted for maybe 6 months, and was also triggered by the guy liking me first. in 5 years since and 2 years in-between I have felt nothing -- not a drip of romantic attraction to anyone. I have previously considered myself greyromantic, but every now and then I go back to questioning, because I went by the definition "rare/limited attraction" and I have no idea how often alloromantics are supposed to feel attraction. My best friend(/s in the past) have had crushes /experienced romantic attraction for over 50% of their lives. that is to say, they've basically had at least one crush at once for most of their lives. however, other people I know have only had 1/3 crushes, like me. that is what confuses me. one of my friends claims to have only had one crush, however recently developed a crush on a celebrity, but she doesn't "count" that. so when people say they've only had 1/3 crushes, they seem to exclude celebrity crushes? I also learnt recently that you can "like" someone without having a crush on them? so how often do alloromantics actually experience attraction? I've never had a celebrity crush, nor a fictional crush, street/airport crush, etc.. these confuse me. I have only ever felt romantic attraction towards people I have spoken to (but maybe this is a side effect of me being asexual?). however, i do frequently get squishes, and have pretty much always had one since I was 13. my experience with platonic/alterous attraction is far more frequent, and I'd say, although individually it might not be as strong as in the instances I've felt romantic attraction, on average it is due to the difference in frequency. if you get what I mean. I also often question whether my squishes are platonic or actually romantic given that i don't really remember what romantic attraction feels like. sometimes I get in a "romance mood", and when that happens it is unoriented. no (imaginary) gender or person satisfies that discomfort (i am mentioning this just in case it is similar to how my sexuality is unoriented). anyway yeah. where does one draw the line between alloromantic and greyromantic? please help

this is my first time joining a forum so i'm not quite sure how this works :p hello, my name is ash, im 16, live in Australia, and I'm currently questioning where i put myself on the aro spectrum. i like knitting, crochet, baking, hollow knight, deltarune, and i am currently learning how to use blender! i hope to eventually develop the skills needed to create a short game. although i am musically inept so not sure how that aspect will go... im hoping to bribe a friend to help me... probably going to mostly lurk here, however I hope I'll be able to participate in certain areas. nice to meet you! i love these frogs
