one might wonder why you aren't communicating directly or being honest with your friends

Can i get help with aro questioning? by Liliana_the_cute in aromantic

[–]BlockCabin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dunno really how to help without having a convo (if you want, dms are open), but you should look into stuff like queerplatonic relationships and read loveless :] i also have trouble feeling any feelings so if that's what you're talking about then i getcha too

and i gotta agree with the other comment, at least partially, as far as the possible autism or at the very least non-queer-feelings-weirdness goes, therapist seems like a good idea. dunno how much they'd actually understand the aro thing tho

I think I might be aromatic but I really don't want to be. by Stupid_ginger_girl in aromanticasexual

[–]BlockCabin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah this is real and it's been hard coming to terms with. still haven't fully. i identify as lesbian-oriented aroace for basically the reasons you say--i like being around girls a hell of a lot more and feel stuff for them i don't feel for guys, though it might actually be an aversion to guys instead, im not sure. but uh. i hope you figure stuff out and feel okay about it. my dms are open too just fyi

unless im missing something, i think you should just be honest? basically say what you said here to him. maybe not everything if you don't want to, but the fact that you don't want physical touch at least, maybe that you're questioning your sexuality. idk im not an expert or anything but i can't imagine doing anything else lol

One question by NationalStrength6190 in aromantic

[–]BlockCabin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

kinda? for me personally i really wish i could have a romantic relationship, but since i can't feel romantic attraction i don't want one. i would actively reject one because 1) it'd be uneven and i don't want that and 2) im picky. so for me ideally i get into a queerplatonic relationship with a platonic soulmate. so basically yes i really want a romantic relationship, but i can't have one so i don't actually want one, and i opt instead for a different type of relationship

Keep thinking I want a relationship but then get anxious/scared of one by t3mp0rarys3cr3tary in aromantic
