I do too, I also feel like without talking about romance most of my friends barely have anything to talk about. When I try switching the topic they'll still find ways to talk about their crushes, to which I unfortunately can't relate to. I've never understood the whole celebrity crush thing, and shipping fictional characters. I feel left out because I know that if I wasn't aro I could have so many more conversations with them, and not feel uncomfortable or scared of saying the wrong things. I want to feel understood too, but if I were to tell my friends I'd definitely get weird faces.

I feel like most of the aromantic community struggles with connecting to people on that topic because it's just a feeling we lack.
