HelloThere

Or whenever people wonder why I’m not looking for anyone and I’m just like “I’ve got enough friends, so I’m good…” then they just look at me like I’m confused or something. Seriously I don’t see why either romance or sex are really… necessary at all. I mean they sound nice as concepts but I can’t name a single person I’d really want a relationship with as much as just have friends. Like I always used to think “well clearly I’m straight, I can be aroused by the opposite gender.” And then I realize that it’s not actually “attraction” per se.

Nostalgia

My parents try to give me those tasks, but even then it’s hard to follow. It’s incredibly annoying when you try to maintain the order of things and it just falls apart.

During school (I'm not even sure if I have adhd I'm just here to see if I can relate at all) I remember somehow being even... more productive? Idk it's hard to describe because I just felt tired and practically insane half of the time, yet by some miracle I kept my grades high. I even managed to get a bit of drawing done, but I never managed to really focus on it during then. During the summer though, my ability to just do... anything kinda drops to 0 all the time. I've gotten like a total of 4 pages done in the past 3 months, and I just keep getting angry at myself for it. That was like, the whole plan for the summer and the moment I try to get it done, I fail miserably no matter how much I like it. It's like there's a mental block in the way.

Like I’m not even sure I do, I just feel that way but I’ve neither been tested nor voiced my concerns.

Especially when it’s cold out, it’s just the best!

Anyone else here have a brain that sorta functions in two modes? Like I’m always just thinking in static, or random “colorful” memories of shows, movies, songs, and ideas just dominate my mind.

During the winter/fall, I just have more of a “style”. I often just wear a zip-up hoodie, my favorite t-shirt, and sweatpants. Wow… I seriously think that’s a “style”. Though if I managed to add white and black rings, then that’ll feel more complete.

Yeah pretty much, it really does sound creepy, though I’m not sure why doing nothing would be creepy.

Oh yeah, I can’t vote yet but I’m mapping this crap out so I can learn ahead of time what the candidates are and if they show up again in the next election.

Or worse, Ron DeSantis gets in. Ron has actively declared his war on “woke”. He’s playing to the furthest right masses, and he’s just so much more extreme than I could’ve imagined.

Oh my gosh I crave the aroace cake!

“The voice of the people is the voice of god”.

They seem to be more generally understanding, plus there’s more activity so I see few issues. 😁

Oh it’s amazing (sort of). It’s the larger forum employed by the TrevorProject to give LGBTQ+ people a sort of social media to talk, learn, and just overall discuss things. It’s a very messy place though, the mods are practically useless, there’s some minor pedophilia issues from adults gaming their age, and so many people just feel horrible sometimes, but that’s the reason I’m there in some ways. I wanna jus talk and help them out. Besides it’s fun to meet more aroaces.

I know, I’m headcannoning some of them, but I wouldn’t be remotely surprised if they made that official.

She has a lot of aroace vibes.

Not to mention that in one scene of the movie she confuses Ballister’s love for Ambrosius as him having a nemesis. That’s gotta be a fricking huge sign.

Or sometimes more “how this persons pretty, I hope I get to just look at them, and I don’t want to do anything”.

I can’t say that I had the exact same experiences, it was more of not thinking about romance, but when I did I drastically misunderstood it. Like I thought that because I was staring at someone a bit (aesthetic attraction) that it was automatically a crush, and I remember no emotion behind it or obsession. I never thought about it, I never cared, and at most I had one legitimate crush, and it was a LONG time ago, not to mention all of those feelings just disappeared after a while. That possibility of one legitimate crush took me until July to remember. I learned I was aroace in April. Strangely enough I don’t remember anyone in my childhood having any relationships, I was probably just ignorant but dang did seeing how much allos care about romance open my eyes. 😅

Oh man I remember one time a few months ago where my grandpas friend asked what I thought of the girls in my school and I just said “they exist…” and then awkwardly tried to change the conversation. Oh my gosh I remember back in elementary school I had 0 focus at all on romance, and I even wrote short stories with absolutely no romantic plot lines at all. Oh yeah, I remember back in my earlier days where I’d kiss my parents on the cheek goodnight and I just found that uncomfortable to say the least. I’ve literally before wondered how that would feel and compared that with past experience kissing parents on the cheek. Yeah I only ever said that with my family and it just felt like a sort of awkward phrase. That wasn’t a very noticeable part of my childhood but that feels familiar. I do remember living all of the anti-romance songs I’d heard about sometimes. There was one song that had the lyric “run away from love” and that just lit me up with an intense “oh frick yeah” type of mental response. Combine that with being friends I was immediately just like “CRUSH?!”
