Cavetowns_fkin_awesome Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) I thought I had a crush and took one of those buzzfeed "do I love them?" quiz. No, no I don't, I have gender envy. And that's how I found out I'm on the aromantic spectrum :D Add your stories :D Edited March 26 by Cavetowns_fkin_awesome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I read the word and immediately went "that's me!"........then proceeded to try to ignore it for months before ultimately accepting myself lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MondoBilby Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 A little while after I found out I was aro, I started finding a lot of early signs. One notable example being an old comic I made when I was little about what to do if someone likes you but you don’t like them back. The whole comic is just a cat beating the living crap out of a dog that was in love with them lmao. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespian Racoon Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I was sketching and listening to my music in my room when something just clicked and I went "ohhhh I feel the same amount of attraction for everyone because I feel no attraction for anyone" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picklethewickle Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The revulsion I feel toward any form of romance makes it hard to me to not notice that I'm aromantic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Newest Fabled Creature Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) I guess a, "Wow I'm aromantic" moment would be when I recognize couples all around me and think to myself, "Why would anyone want that?" To which then I think to myself, "Wait, the majority of people want that, but not me. There's literally couples right in front of me. Wow, I'm aromantic." Sometimes I'll straight up forget that I'm aro, and other times I'm too consciously aware of it.

That is way too real man, I see someone (even more so straight couples who are only gonna last a month) my brain goes "ew" and I feel like I'm being mean to them but like, ew idk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah! It's like, I don't mean to think ill of any couples, but I often times think too, "How long is that gonna last?" And I know I only think it because I don't experience what they're experiencing, but I also see too many times relationships fall apart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to be rude but you can tell if they're not right for each other sometimes! I can't fully relate (I'm demiromantic/greyromantic kinda sh!t) but I can totally see where your coming from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentShadows Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 One of the signs I had was that I liked reading/watching romantic relationships... but only the lead-up to the point where they caught feelings LOL. Once it was romance the story lost me unless they had a strong bond (i.e. QPP or best friend level). Plus, as a kid I was really not into the idea of marriage and extremely distraught to be told by a parent that you'd be lonely if you didn't wed someone. wq But for the actual moment of knowing? I came across more definitions and accounts of being aro and felt the immense relief of not being forced to experience romance! I don't recall the actual hooray moment, but it most certainly helped hearing about others' experiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AroAceGamer Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Always thought I liked people, but when I thought about it, I didn't want to be in a romantic relationship with them, I want to have a sleepover and watch all the Harrry Potter movies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
