cute kitty Meow! Mewo! Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 sometimes I feel irritated because, I want to be in a "couple" but. I'm aromantic and mostly asexual. and I have social anxiety. so it's not going to happen. I think of having a friend who is around a lot - who we do things with each other, or for each other, or because of each other. and like, on a certain scale of things, we are "partners" because we're sticking together, the cliche "joined at the hip" but not like. not a joke, when people say two friends are joined at the hip, and you're reading a story, you just know at some point they're gonna have a dramatic falling out we aren't just friends joined at the hip, we're partners. I don't want to call it dating or a couple or stuff 'cause of romance-repulsion but I kind of have to.. what else would I name it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey you in the corner Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I like the idea of being in a "relationship" because of the companionship aspect, but I've found that I'm much happier being on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they often present love as the everlasting thing, but friendship as something that doesn't last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute kitty Meow! Mewo! Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 well to be fair in all 26 years of living all my friendships have been very short-lived. maybe some of them "lasted" and still "exist" but they like... we talk once a year...

Untamed Heart Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I can sympathise with that, I do have two very good friends I've known several years but I'm very bad at making and keeping friendships. Mainly because I usually end up feeling like I'm bugging people, and they don't generally bother so I assume they're not interested. Could be they feel the same way as I do, but in any case it just ends up being a stalemate and nothing happens. I do prefer being by myself but it does frustrate me sometimes.

Hey you in the corner Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I find it sad that I, as a perpetually single aromantic, have a better idea of what a healthy romantic relationship is that my friend who desperately needs to get away from her borderline psychologically abusive SO.

Me too, but it seems pretty much impossible to find someone who's interested in that. Pretty much everyone prefers a romantic partner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
