I was never exposed to the LGBTQ community growing up. So I lived as a straight girl. Once I hit 13-14 and then the pandemic began I found out about the gays. I came across aromanticism but I didnt understand it at that age. I was also dating a guy at that time. I thought I truly loved him but I didn't at the same time. Sure I found him attractive and I did like his company and wanted a more platonic relationship with him. I almost never had any romantic feelings for him. It felt like an obligation. "If you didn't do it, he'll leave you to the dust." I was more afraid of being abandoned than loving him. I feel guilty for being selfish and only worry about my fear. He's a good guy. Now he's happy with his new girlfriend which he deserves. I'm older now and I understand aromanticism. I realized this. I also never really had a crush. I just found people pretty or attractive making me think I had a crush on them but really I didn't. Maybe I just didn't want to face the fact I'm aromantic. But now I am. Sure I'm pretty sad but at the same time I know who I am. Which makes me happy.

Nahh bro too much work

My family always nicknamed me 'pony' since I always watched My Little Pony when I was younger (I still love that show). The numbers are my favorite numbers 5 and 0.

I forgot to do this 😭😭 Anyways, hello!! Call me Pony. I'm sex repulsed and Im figuring out where I am in the aro-spec. I also use she/her pronouns. How I figured out i was in the aro-spec was when i was looking through my crushes and relationships. I realized that I never or at least experienced a little of romantic attraction. I really love drawing and writing! I also like biology and wish to learn more about it. :]

I had a crush long ago, but I realized it wasn't actually a crush? Sure, I found them attractive and all but never really had any romantic feelings. They were more like obligations. Nowadays, I don't have any crushes on people even when I think I do. It doesn't feel like a crush??? I just think they're pretty or attractive. Maybe I'm forcing myself to like people because I don't want to learn the fact that I might be aro. I want to love but I can't. But I do things that may be considered romantic, like cuddling and holding hands, I don't see it that way tho. Another reason why I think I'm aro is when I see real-life couples, it makes me uncomfortable. Even when it comes to my friends. I'm very supportive and really happy for them, but when they get all lovey dovey it makes me uncomfortable. It can sometimes change, but it always made me uncomfy. However, when it's about fictional characters, I don't feel uncomfortable like real-life couples. Edit: AYEEE thank you yall. I know that I'm the only one who can confirm I'm aromantic but I just wanted some help. I'll be testing out the aromantic label :]
