pulchritudinous_toast Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hi again, my name is Laurel! As to be expected I'm very new, as in, I only came into this forum a few days ago, and have just recently been coming to terms with being aromantic. I suppose I'm still in my questioning phase, technically, though at this point I'm practically convinced I am. I can't even begin to tell you how much this explains. My pronouns are she/her/hers but I'm also cool with they/them/their(s). I've come here simply searching for some sort of community of people like me and maybe advice. Now, here comes the word dump! lol I'm an aromantic (obviously; though I suppose accurate microlabels would also be aegoromantic/lithromantic) allosexual, and I'm still unsure of what my sexuality is specifically. I am certain I'm sexually attracted to women, it's men I'm confused about. I've identified as a lesbian most of my life, only recently have I been questioning again, all due to those darned anime men. Oh well, though, I mean, does it really matter at the end of the day? I'm still a teenager, a girl, and aim to be a human rights/environmental lawyer someday; that, or a teacher or marriage counselor of some kind. When I was younger, I used to read my moms textbooks (and other documents online and otherwise) on how to counsel relationships and relationship therapy, mostly concerning romantic relationship red flags and things about consent, all that jazz, so that I could help my family and friend with their relationships. I was nine. It's a bit concerning in retrospect. I'm also very passionate about writing, and one of my dearest wishes is that Microsoft Word, Google Documents, and every other writing program to speak of would stop underlining aromantic as a misspelling. Finally, funny story, but when I was in 6th grade a boy tried to confess to liking me romantically in gym class, so, I kid you not, I literally sprinted out of the gym. No romo indeed. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
