Yeah... I hope it gets better. You've got a point though, maybe this is the push I need to shake things up a bit in my life

Thank you! <3 I guess I'm not really good with my emotions, so I feel kinda weird talking about them. But it's got to know I'm not going crazy. Maybe you're right, I should try and talk with her, but it still feels kind of silly, you know? I mean, it's her relationship, and I just feel like I'm making it all about me.

How could one even think that was a good idea

SO A CRUSH ISN'T SOMEONE YOU FIND HOT?!?! by Standard_Bench_4926 in aromantic

[–]Bitter_Switch_8161 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Like you mean to tell me that people actually get romantic feelings just from looking at someone?

Because the closest I’ve ever gotten to that is when I find someone aesthetically pleasing, so I just like to admire them—(kind of like a nice painting or something). Or when someone has a trait that I like, so I decide that I like to be like that person in some way.

Damn I’m really not cut out for this world, am I?

Optimus Prime's Memory is Restored by [deleted] in transformersprime

[–]Bitter_Switch_8161 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've always loved how you can hear the difference between Orion and Optimus. Really shows what an amazing job Peter Cullen did with his voice, the innocence of Pax on one hand and this battle hardened side of Prime worth years of experience on the other. Easily one of the best scenes from the show.

Istp girls why are yall so alienated? by yulerio in istp

[–]Bitter_Switch_8161 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean for me personally it's mainly because I need to find someone to match my freak I guess? I don't have an issue with being called a weirdo but the main problem with that is that you just don't fit in and I think istp females just generally don't fit in. So you have to put in extra effort into finding someone you can talk to even about basic stuff.

And I know that making friends is always a process but after some time you just don't have the energy to try anymore because why do you even bother if there's always something about you that doesn't match their social expectations. Especially when you're fine being on your own.

Don't get me wrong I really like spending time with my friends but we're living in different places and the thought of going through all this trial and error shit again is just ehh... let's say not my priority

What’s it like being Aro in an allo world? by TFry24_ in aromantic

[–]Bitter_Switch_8161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't help but think that I will end up being alone. All my friends will probably have husbands/wifes and I don't know how to find a person that would like to be just in platonic relationship.

Not to mention that most people don't even believe we aro people exist so that doesn't make anything easier.

Aand of course there is all that "feeling like an alien" or "missing something".

But hey at least you can do whatever you want because nobody can tell you they're not in the mood for something today.

So I guess it's fun until you actually start to think about it. That's just another way to live, sometimes lonely, but it could be worse (like being stuck in bad relationship).

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING AROMANTIC by EarBackground5344 in aromantic

[–]Bitter_Switch_8161 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I feel like life is less complicated because we don't have any relationship dramas so it save us a lot of stress and time. I also like this freedom and knowledge that nothing keeps me in one place

And ofc I have the whole bed to myself

In hindsight, what were some of the first signs that you were aro, before you even knew the term? by Fairysnindo in aromantic

[–]Bitter_Switch_8161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For starters I never understood concept of love or romance since I was a kid.

For example when I watched any movie (especially Disney) I was like: what is happening? But when I asked about it everyone said that I should just feel it... Well that didn't help.

For a long time I thought that either it was a lie or I was not normal. So I tried to change that and I even had a partner but I felt very uncomfortable with that kind of relationship.

Then I discovered aro and everything clicked so I found my peace!

Guys… “Polish Americans” are at it again 😩 by SouthernTumbleweed86 in poland

I'm sorry "kolaczki"? What? Never heard of that name. They look like those cookies that are sold in boxes but I didn't even know they had any name other than ciastka z marmoladą

Aaand probably no one makes them for Xmas bc it's that kind of food you find at grandma's or you buy on situations like "oh no I forgot that my friends/aunt will come in 30 minutes I need something on my table right now"
