    It’ll change as you grow.

    That sounds lonely.

    You need to marry to go to heaven.

    So you just have no emotions?

    Its just a phase.

    You’ll inevitably feel lonely without a partner.

    How do you know for sure?

    Well you were ALL OVER this person a really long time ago. 😒(for all they know that was platonic and I was just 8 years old, I remember no emotional connection besides friendship to people)

    So you can’t get turned on?

    So you don’t find people pretty? (Of course I do, I just don’t feel some magnetic pull towards people, I just have some emotional response I can’t pin down. Though I know it’s not romantic. And finding people pretty isn’t a requirement)

    You’re just scared of love.

    You’re just a closeted gay.

    You’ll be depressed if you don’t date.

    YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY. (BULL SHIT)

    Someday you’ll meet someone.

    I can’t wait until you like girls, you’ll change and we’ll forgive you. (Challenge accepted turd snorters, I’ll bet you my whole college account if I have to)

    You want to live alone? (Just with friends, and really I’d live with a dog or two as well, that’ll definitely make me happy)

    You just feel bad about people not liking you. (I prefer it that way. XD)

    You just want to be LGBTQ+. (I hate this possible response with a burning passion. I’ve spent months wondering if I’m a fraud, if I actually experience anything at all, if I’m even remotely aromantic at all. Everything seems to align, I could not be more comfortable in this label, and anyone that tells me otherwise can go shove it.)

    I remember not feeling the need to, I grew out of that. (At what age?! I’m nearly 16 and had 0 crushes. That’s a hell of a sign.)

    You’re incapable of loving people. 
    You’re just a late bloomer. (Ohohohoh, you don’t want to pull that card. I was one of the first people in my school to go through puberty, nothing changed emotionally, it’s been exactly the same, and I doubt that the emotional part is late at 15.)

    Your H E A R T L E S S. (You little child, I nearly cried after listening to the soundtrack of the owl house. I’m very emotional about topics that make me happy. People just exist, as friends they’re the best, as partners they aren’t that great in my opinion)

    You just want attention. (I want to know who I am, and be sure of my life. I want to live my own truth, and be able to actually, FINALLY focus on my interests and dreams. I don’t give a crap if people know I exist, I mean it’s always nice to talk to others but that’s not what I’m looking for.)

    It’s a trend. (If I wanted to follow trends I’d be wearing crocs and making every horrible joke in the book)

    You have a skill my friend. (This is one of the more okay responses but that still feels incredibly uncomfortable, as if it’s hard for me not to want to date)

    I’m worried about literally all of these being said at some point, especially by parents for some.
