I'd also like to hear more about these aro books too.

I appreciate not having to consider another person or be responsible for another person's emotional state most of the time. I'm a therapist and i already do so much considering and caring already that i'm pretty tapped out on consideration and care for others too extensively. Obviously i'm still kind and considerate with family and other platonic relationships in my life but with a partner it seems like you're never truly "free" from having to consider another person and that is bliss for me. I get overstimulated easily when i leave my house and there is nothing like returning home, collapsing on my couch like a rag doll and not moving for anything lol. I imagine with a partner I'd feel constantly "on", putting on this performance of caring and consideration i don't really feel all that strongly all of the time. I'm probably also aplatonic, and i only need to check in with friends like once a week or so if that. I largely get all my social needs met living with family and small chitchat if that.

The results are really interesting gender-wise.
