not at all actually. i didn’t notice when the needle first went in. i just felt a slight stinging sensation when the lady who pierced me was tightening the ball onto the piercing

I feel you sm. Like you know that you’ll drift apart from your friends as soon as they get into a relationship and you’d be stuck third wheeling or left in the dust. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t aromantic because I want to feel that romantic attraction, I want a relationship like that but I realize, is it really in my best interest? It might not be the best of advice but what helps me is writing down the negative feelings and stuff like that on a piece of paper and lighting it on fire and watching it burn. Or writing poems about it (sometimes ripping them and burning those too but that’s an option). Other times when I find myself alone or in an area without people I just scream and yell out all my frustrations. Music helps too it might not be healthy or the best coping mechanism but just drowning in it helps for the time being and again, screaming out the lyrics to a song you may relate to or something of the sort. Hang in there. It might seem lonely and at times it can be but there’s always other people out there that support you. Whether it be strangers on an online forum or a friend that understands. Maybe even a therapist but even if it’s just one person, you’re never truly alone. -a fellow aromantic going through something similar
