Common Misconceptions About Aros


Robin

Recommended Posts

•"Does that kind of thing really exist? What if you're making this up as an excuse because you're afraid of intimacy?" (Though I have the fear, I don't feel like I'm making this up)

•"It's alright, everything will be fine one day" (when I find "the one" apparently)"

•"I understand what you meant by not getting attracted to anybody but you still can't be sure you'll be the same, what if you experience it one day?" (This makes me weirdly uncomfortable somehow)

•"Are you planning on living alone for the rest of your life?! What's wrong with you??! You will regret this decision as you get old!!" (...whatever)

-'Are aro and ace not the same thing?'                     -my brother

-'If you feel romantic attraction to someone you also feel sexual attraction to them.'/ 'there is no such thing as split attraction.'      -my brother again

Me: *Comes out*

Brothers and cousin: Ok..... I don’t care.

My friend: *ignores me* (they aren't aphobic though)

I know they ment well but that hurts :(.

And one last one: you just hate love.                                                        -me (sorry if that was cringe lol)

This one is tricky cause it is based on the right assumption that nobody knows future (except of you believe in voyance of course) but then take it to give the wrong conclusion.

Maybe it'll change later, but then you just change label, it doesn't affect how you always felt until now. Also later may never comes, will you live your life waiting for it ? No.

 

If someone tells you that you can answer "why be label yourself as *inside other orientation*, but how can you be sure you'll be the same ?" They will probably argue that the case is different but they would be wrong.

 

Seriously can you picture people at marriage be like "why do you take an engagement for life, you don't know the future ?" ???
