Amanda Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 My name is Amanda and I decided to do some research on why I have never had a crush. That lead me to Aromantic and its meaning and examples of how people found out they were Aromantic. While reading through I realised that almost every example applied to me and I felt so guilty I started crying. I was crying because I was in a relationship which was why i was researching in the first place, I wanted to know why I still didnt have any strong emotions towards him yet. Now I know why and I just feel so guilty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metelyk Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hello Amanda I also cried when I found out I am aro. Well, I cried several times in the process (first when I realised I am probably aro, then several times because I felt bad to be aro, then when an aro friend told me it's okay to be aro) - but I also felt very happy that finally I have an explanation for, well, my whole life. It is a complicated process. It is important to give yourself time with it I also feel guilty sometimes about the people I have dated in the past. I know that they loved me, and I did not know I was aro so I could not explain why I loved them, but also did not love them at the same time. Sometimes I wish I could write to them again to apologise. But I don't think that will help. I did not know I am aro back then, I was only doing my best with what I knew about myself. It was not my fault I was confused about my feelings, and it is not your fault either. At the end, I am me and you are you and we are aro and that is just the way we are. Nobody should need to apologise or feel guilty for who they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
