YokaiDisarray Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Slooooowly realized I was aromantic asexual after realizing that a ""crush"" i have wasn't really (probably not at least) romantic in the slightest. After asking some friends on what they thought, I randomly asked what romantic and sexual attraction felt like and I was absolutely shocked to the point where I had to seriously ask if they were fucking with me. I hadn't really felt anything remotely like what they said except maybe once or twice in my entire life, and this whole time I thought everyone was like me and was just exaggerating. They weren't apparently! Literally realized this a couple days ago, still in that hazy "wtf wtf wtf this is REAL??? am i sure this is real????" stage of acceptance. I guess I'd be considered gray aroace since I might've felt both once or twice??? I moreso identify with plain ole aroace just because I just vibe with that label more. Anyways nice to meet y'all im a 19 year old artist gyhujnbgvyhujhgy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragileDear Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy your time here. As a fellow aroace I too was a bit shocked to discover that other people weren’t exaggerating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queer_kaleidoscope Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hi, and welcome to arocalypse! I'm aroace too, I can definitely relate to the feeling of past "crushes" not involving any romantic attraction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboticanary Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hi yeah, apparently they weren't exaggerating. Still seems surprising but oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirl Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hello!! Nice to meet you too! I'm also in that stage of acceptance rn and it's so scary but also so so exhilarating! Like "OMG! This is me!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
