You might be aro if...

[Puns]

YMBAI when you try the hardest to fit into society's idea of 'relationship' and it leaves you just more, and more depressed. 

[Kat]

YMBAI when people around you talk about what crushes feel like and to you it sounds like a serious medical condition.

[ladyasym]

YMBAI you wish shows like 'Jane the Virgin' had less lovey romantic stuff, and more focus on platonic relationships and murder-y intrigue.

When you thought all this time your standards were just incredibly high ?

YMBAI when you asked someone what it's like to be in love (because you need to UNDERSTAND what's the freakin' fuss about it, godammit !), and when most of their answer are cliché such as ''your chest feel funny and your heartbeat is increasing when you see them" the "you're thinking about them all the time" or"you can't sleep sometimes because you always think about them and what it could be to be with them" etc.... and of course your only valuable answer is to stare them right in the eyes for some time and say "Damn, that sound painful, bro"

 

YMBAI when someone told you that he/she have a crush on you and all you can do is to say bad puns about having a crush and ''being crushed to death",  hoping that the person will understand. If not, run. 

the first time someone told me they liked me and asked if i liked them back, i stared at them in confusion trying to figure out if i did (because we hung out so much that i thought i must like him that way) and then just nervously said "well you bought me pringles" as if that was a viable answer.

YMBAI you’re perfectly content being single the rest of your life 

[Cee Fox]

YMBAI you roll your eyes whenever anyone says 'girls and boys can never just be platonic'.

 

On that note I was talking to my brother and we had a conversation that went something like this.

 

Him: I wonder if it's weird for [those two] to be friends.

Me: What?? Why would it be weird?

Him: You know, there's always that possibility for them to start dating.

Me: You know you sound ridiculous right.

Him: But it's always the same when a guy and a girl are 'just friends'.

Me: What about a guy and a girl who are friends?

Him: Well... You know...

Me: *facepalm*

YMBAI you originally thought that everyone was faking their romantic feelings or crushes, until you realized they weren't and that you just didn't feel the same way as other people.

Exactly how I felt. I thought people were kidding when they talked about romantic or sexual stuff.

[snapesonalane]

YMBAI you pushed friends away once they started to show romantic interest because it left you with a feeling of wrongness to be liked. 

 

YMBAI you would get mad/uncomfortable when someone teased you about a friend/squish because clearly you can't just want to be friends

 

YMBAI you feel like a bucket of cold water is thrown on your head when someone confesses feelings for you

[seventeenolives]

YMBAI you thought it was weird that other people in your grade /// age group were having crushes so young.... when you were 12-13+

I actually made a vow to do this a few years ago and I'm still sticking with it.

YMBAI you've never wanted to kiss someone and were surprised to learn that when people say, "I want to kiss [x]" they aren't just conciously deciding they want to kiss, it's an actual urge for them. 

[Cee Fox]

YMBAI you don't understand how people can have crushes on celebrities

 

[Apathetic Echidna]

YMBAI you think that when a friend starts dating someone new and shows you/sends you a picture it is so that you can visually identify the person to blame in the future when they have a fight. 

 

YMBAI you don't understand the other friend who sees the picture and gives their opinion/approval in a blatantly shallow way.

You realized you weren't a psychopath when you fell in love with an amazing doggo thqt you'd die for!

[Mark]

YMBAI You though it was awesome that a friend had an FWB then they decided to be in a romantic relationship, with the same partner, and it felt anti-climatic.

YMBAI You just don't get all the congratulatory messages on social media when someone announces they are "in a relationship", "engaged" or "married".

[Holmbo]

YMBAI you read a book that ends with a romantic couple breaking up but starting friends and you think What a happy ending. 

[Guest]

YMBAI people asked who you first kissed and your answer is "a book".
