  1. before I realized I was aroace I would force myself to imagine myself in romantic situations because that’s what I was supposed to do right? I’m a teenage girl that means it’s time to start fantasizing about falling in love amiright hah

    Literally every single time I would try to imagine myself in any sort of romantic relationship I would get insanely uncomfortable and immediately stop thinking about it and yet I was CONVINCED I was the most romantic person to ever exist. I was like oooo look at me I’m so desperate for romance im fantasizing about it. I’m such a normal person, such a regular romance lover haha. I was in the final stages of denial bruh I was too deep in my own head to realize that most people don’t have to spend hours convincing themselves they feel romantic attraction 💀 

  2. Feeling like I’m not aro enough?
     

    I recently discovered I’m aro but I feel as if I’m not aro enough because I’m not completely against the idea of romance. To specify, I don’t feel romantic attraction—although that could change as I get older—but I’m not really against the idea of physical affection like cuddling or marriage (although I don’t really see myself ever getting married). I know that stuff is normal and aromanticism is a spectrum but I still can’t help but feeling like I’m doing it wrong, if that makes any sense at all

      Ah, the good ol' "Not good enough" feelings. The joys of being a poorly understood minority, where all that's known about us is a very tiny box. You feel like that box is all there is, and you have to fit inside. Being aromantic doesn't mean you have to hate romance. It doesn't mean you have to reject all forms of affection. Aromanticism is just what you said, that you don't feel romantic attraction. You don't have to prove anything, or fit in, or keep up. Just live how you want to live.
