I'm aro and pretty introverted, and to be honest if asked to go out, I rather stay inside with my dog. She's so cute and keeps me warm during the winter. Also, she loves my company without expecting much from me, it's like a really low-maintenance friendship I guess. And she sleeps most of the day. 

Watching cheesy BL dramas even tho I'm aromantic. I think it's cute and nice for a change.

I'm glad you figured it out!! May I ask which animals are your favourites?? Also, welcome on the forum!!

I love tortoises, hedgehogs and owls! But for living at home, cats are the coolest.

You don't have to use any label you aren't interested in, but I thought I'd throw out aplatonic for you as well. ^^ Welcome to the forum!

Yes, aplatonic may apply. Was unaware of it. Ty! 

It makes perfect sense now. Not only am I asexual but also aromantic. In fact, I'd describe myself pretty much as a hermit. As someone on some autistic spectrum, I'm virtually impervious to any sort of societal pressure. Never had any desire to have friends, sex or romantic partners. 

I live just fine by myself. In fact, I thrive in loneliness. I do enjoy the company of animals, mostly because they're quiet and seem to be enough to comfort me when I'm sad. 

I guess I'm perfectly fine with being this alien oddity in this world. And, for some reason, it gives me a sense of inner peace. I'm content with who I am. Also, all my hobbies have always been solitary ones. I just simply don't crave people.
