When I found out I was on the Aromantic spectrum, I genuinely felt ashamed and confused. I dated a member of my opposite sex before. (they were ace) I didn't feel anything romantic to them. When I broke up (roughly 2 months ago) they suggested the possibility of me being Aro, I didn't wanna jump to conclusions, so I did some research. Now I'm comfortable with it, I told them about a week ago that I am Aro, they were thrilled. My parents however I'm not sure. My siblings both want kids and to be married, I really don't see point in that, I cringe seeing romantic scenes and romantic stories. I legit hated being in English last week as we finished Romeo and Juliet. So many people in my school ask me if I'm dating people, I hate being shipped also (happened once this year) This seems like a rant, I'm sorry. I just don't know how to do this. I wanna tell my parents, but advice from you all may be helpful.
Am I crazy?
I wish that I could understand this more, if you have some advice please help me.
