Do you worry if you hadn’t had CSA, you wouldn’t be aro?

[Anonymous]

Is anyone else wondering if they would always have been aro if they didn’t experience CSA? I recently found out I’m aro and I’m a little worried it’s because of the CSA I experienced

Ok I really can't relate but I'd try to ignore what could have been and focus more on what is now. My doubts personally came from wondering if i would have be more for a relationship if I didn't know I was aroace. I mean I'm not sure and I've lost some sleep over it but its not something that can be undone so I'd try to focus more on now amdthe future.

I'm really sorry about what happened to you. I wish I could make that better. All I can say on the matter is that I've never been assaulted at any point in my life, and I'm still aroace.

I don't even know what to say because this is such a dark subject matter without coming off offensive or unknowledgeable. My only recommendation is to talk to a mental health professional like a therapist or someone else who can help you. Hopefully, with their help, you can figure out why your Aro and if it's related to the abuse, and maybe even get over the trauma.
