Am I okay?

[Fried mercy]

So, I’m basically very confused, I identify as aroflux and I relate very strongly to it, although I’ve never met anyone who shares the same identification as myself, I’m kinda wondering wether I’m just stupid, or there actually are people out there who relate to me.

I would say that even **IF** there was no one with the exact same identification as you, that wouldn't make you stupid or not ok. You identify with the identification that you identify with. 

That said, the fact that there's a word for it that is easily identifiable, means that it is extremely unlikely that you are alone in this identification. 

I'm not sure if that was helpful. But yes, I'm pretty sure that you're ok. At least WRT to this aspect.... 


As an aside, I'm never sure how to react to posts like this. I kind of read it as "Am I ok? I have this Thing... and I'm really depressed and...." and the answer is basically, "the Thing isn't the thing that's making you not ok. You're not ok because you're depressed and you should talk to someone about that." 

So, basically, only you can answer if you're not OK. but being aroflux doesn't make you not OK. 

Hope that helps a little...

Completely seconding everything LBMango said as well. Very well put!

Honestly, you probably are the only one that feels the way you do. But that’s ok! Everyone experiences sexual and romantic attraction, or lack therof, in a completely different way. No one will ever find someone who feels the same way they do, and that’s perfect and it’s normal, and at the end of the day, you need to feel how you want to feel and no other way.

Yeah, other people identify as aro-flux. But they probably don't feel exactly the same way you do.

 

I identify as aro-ace-flux, which means I'm both aroflux and aceflux.
