I found out I was aro about 2-3 years ago, and that first moment when I found out was a very refreshing and eye-opening experience for me.

I didn’t really know what aromanticism was at the time, and for the longest time I was just completely oblivious to the fact that I literally never had crushes and never thought about being in a relationship lol. Then my friends were talking about all their crushes, they suggested I was maybe aro after I told them I never had any, and I finally realised.

The moment of realization! 

there really should be more aro and ace awareness, it would spare a lot of people from bad experiences and misunderstandings

well we have been interacting for a while here and i have come to really like:)

anyway hello and welcome to this little piece of the world

i just realized in two weeks it will be the first anniversary of me knowing i am aro. god it was such a good feeling( i haven't felt even close to that in a really long time)

i have been going with unlabeled for a few years now, about a year ago a friend asked if there is any label i feel even closed to, i remember that i didn't know exactly what aro or ace was, but i knew a few things about asexuality so i said: i dunno maybe i am asexual.

after this conversation i went and did more researching(i had done a ton of research before setting on unlabeled). like every normal person i started taking tests on google. i took one for asexuality too, and it said "you are probably demisexual". through my search for demisexuality i came across demiromantic and aromantic.

and god the joy of seeing other people sharing your experience is just amazing.

so i first went with demiro but then i realized "man i feel literally zero romantic attraction" so from there i officially put the label aromantic on me. the very first label that actually made me feel good, loved and understood.

after a year i still dunno how does my asexuality work but i know i don't sexual attraction like other people so i am still figuring out.

and that is the greatest love story of the year 1402 Solar Hijri calendar. 

what is your story and how long ago did you figure out this part of your identity??

i really don't know, i have never wanted to kiss someone and i keep thinking about how i feel about it and i just can't figure it out. but i guess i am disgusted even by the idea of closed mouth kissing. tho if i ever have a qpr or a close friend i will be ok with peck on the cheek(i am really trying here😂)

I haven't read this book yet that I'm about to suggest, so I don't know how good it is, but I have seen it recommended on AUREA's website - "Stuck In Her head" by Kylie Wang and Liana Tang. It has an aromantic (possibly main?) character, and is overall about two girls' relationships evolving over time and their own relationship with each other slowly morphing into something else. I heard that an animator from the Spider-verse movies made the cover and I thought that was cool! I love how there's queer artists and allies working on the Spider-verse films, given the trans story and advocacy with Gwen, how Peter B. kind of seems to just emit bisexual energy, and then an artist working on a cover for an aromantic book.

omg thank you for thissss! 

i really want to read more aromantic books but there aren't manyy

A lot of allos (and aros too!) often feel that being aromantic is lonely and depressing.

I disagree. I think being aromantic is awesome. I find it liberating and comfortable :-)

To help clear up the misconception, why would you say being aromantic is awesome?

I know ! From the moment i figured out i am aro i have been feeling thia joy i had never known i could feel, sth i really didn't feel when i was with my ex.

It has taken so much pressure from my mind, god i really hope everyone can come to love thier identity too

When my 5 very all roommates are talking! No mather about what, just whenever they talk:

One has a boyfriend

One keeps going back to her ex, but this last time it really got nasty

One likes someome who likes her back but niether of them are acting on it(srs why) 

One whose boyfriend from 2 years ago still text her

And one who has gone a couple dates with someone but they are not exclusive yet

So yes i have aro moments every single hours of day 

I am offended that you ended it

I used to, worked there for 3,5 years before I had to leave because the bookstore had financial troubles unfortunately. It was the best ‘regular’ job I have had (I’m a freelancer artist/teacher now) and I really hope you get to work in one someday :D

Thank youuu:))

I don’t know the book but I checked some reviews on Goodreads and the consensus seems to be that it’s great to have a book about ace and aro rep but that the plot is not really great.
Of course that is just the opionion of some other unknown people on the internet, but if you are having trouble finding motivation to finish a book then right now this might not be the book for you ¯\-(ツ)-/¯

And just to be clear: That’s ok! Reading should be fun, no point in forcing yourself to finish a book if you are not engaged or intrigued by it. I also used to feel that I ‘had to’ finish a book even if I didn’t like it, especially when I still worked at a book store. But eventually that will make you dislike reading, so I really don’t recommend it 😬

Thank youu

And omg you work in a book store?? 

God i really want to experience that!!! I have been looking for jobs in book stores but uni has been killing so i don't have enough to even have a part time job😭

hiii aro people on the internet who are more real to me than anyone i have seen today

so have you read this book? i started it about 2 weeks ago and have read about 50 pages(it is i guess 400 pages) and i wanted to know if i should finish it? this past months i have had a terrible relationship with finishing books i have started! please tell me it's good so i read the rest of it

and for those people who doesn't know this book lemme give you a summery:

so the story is about a 40 and sth virgin woman with a long list of failed relationships, her bestfriend read about asexuality in an article and inform her. from there she starts exploring her identity, she goes to asexual meet ups etc. later she finds out she is aro too.

that is all i know!

I get how you're feeling, it's like the universe decided to throw everything at you all at once! It's super stressful, and honestly, anyone would be worn out in your shoes. Just hang in there, okay? Try to tackle each thing bit by bit, and don't forget to breathe. Sometimes, just stepping back for a quick moment can make a huge difference. You're doing amazing facing all this! Remember, it's okay to ask for help if you need it. You've got a lot on your plate, but I believe in you!

hiii well my last semester, which i was talking about in the post, ended about 2 month ago and believe it or not i did amazingly! i got a 18.33 out of 20 for the whole semester which is very good in my university(they realy like to torture us here). but god it was stressful! this semester i have started studying from the very first week with the hope less stress and even better results! but i am sure i am going to grow old from stress and anxiety untill i finish uni( which in my case is going to last from 9-12 years until doctorate)

Yeesh, that sounds like a pain in the backside! I'm glad you managed to avoid escalating the situation though, a lot of people just get together anyway because they're too nervous to say no. 

One of my friends used to have a gf that he only knew for a week before they got together. It's crazy. How can you be so trusting and committing to someone who you barely even know? I suppose that's what the "magic" of romance is lol.

I would never be able to understand how can they just start something to intimate with skmeone they barely know. They are wierd 😂
