Spectrul Sânge Rece Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 So a big part of why I feel affinity with the Aro-spec is because of my natural emotional detachment and subsequent depression/depressive moods. I don't really ever feel that connectivity with people that I see most people have and I don't think anything is wrong with me. I just feel that these are the pieces that connect and why this demographic is where Im best suited in. My main Aro-Spec ID's are: Demiromantic, Platonamorous and Alterous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis On Air Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'm just plain old 0% romantic but yeah it's such a big part of the everyday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute kitty Meow! Mewo! Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 IDK I feel kinda put-off with the idea that being aro is depressing... or emotionally detached... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute kitty Meow! Mewo! Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I think, I think that if your experience is for you, associated with being aromantic. then I trust you. you are probably right, since you know your experience and I only know mine for me, depression and how emotionally attached I get to who, is something irrelevant to why I identify with aromanticism. I am sorry that I projected onto you, but now I have been able to clarify my thoughts better, heh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Phoenix Ace Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I think there's a wide variety on how aromantic people attach to others emotionally. Some don't feel a strong pull to make those attachments while others surround themselves with those attachments. And, welcome @Spectre Sans Eros! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iigolden Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I identified with the aro spec (aromantic, in my case) because I couldn't feel any attraction. In fact, the very idea of attraction scared me, and made me feel all icky, which led me to discover the meaning of romance repulsed and philophobia (though IDK if it's the same thing). Then I found this forum, which led me to discover other people just like me! So, in a way, I am greatful for the things that happened: they led me to discover this website!
