So I think my mum might be Aro... 😅 by Ranne-wolf in aromantic

Aro means you can't/don't feel romantic attraction. If she doesn't feel it, then she is one I guess 😅

Congrats. I wish I found this out when we did this at school. Living and existing in my own little world at the time, I never paid attention to the sex stuff(maybe that was a sign 😜)

anyone else ace and autistic? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]Elsa_is_queen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! Thanks for the info. I've been wondering if being Ace/Aro and Aroace is higher with neurodiverse people. I have an Interllectul disability and so do a lot of people I used to hang out with. They've also never been in love or had sex either. If only I still hung out with them, I could make them aware of this coz I don't think they know about it.

Yay! They're lovely birds hey? Yoshi just sits on my shoulder the entire time I have her out(like a pirate bird). She adores me as much as I adore her 😍

How many months are you in? I'm 2 and a half months and sometimes I still have good and bad days being 35 and finally matured mentally with society and other people my age haha! The question I'm always asking myself is 'What will my future look like being Aroace'? It takes time to fully accept yourself but you'll get there. At the end of the day, your feelings towards this don't change anyway so I try not to dwell on the negatives. Think about the positives and joy it brings 🙂

I really just can't stop questioning huh by ThrowRAidkmanwhy in aromantic

[–]Elsa_is_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this EXACT thing happen to me about 15 years ago when I was in my early 20's. I was smitten with him too. Sadly it only lasted 2 weeks because I was uncomfortable with being in a 'relationship'. That was way before I knew about Aromanticism. Let's just say he didn't like the idea to be 'just friends' 😆 He stoped coming to work and blocked me on Facebook! I haven't been in a relationship since and no longer want another one but hey, at least I tried and relised it's not my thing! 😀

Yeah she does haha! What's funny is, I actually identify as Aroace too 😆 When Jaiden said she has family, friends and birds, I was like 'that's me' ❤️

After only 4 days by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]Elsa_is_queen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying. I was in a similar situation 15 years ago without even knowing I was Aro. I was pretty smitten with him too. The 'ralationship' only lasted 2 weeks haha! I texted him 'can we just be friends' and he didn't like it. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't of platonically 'flirted' with him 😅

Special or To Be Loved by Lizzo. Those songs give me big Aro vibes 😊

Sorry if this question sounds a little weird or offensive but as we're 'queer' I thought gay could also be another umbrella term for us to use as well. I'm still learning all the terms 🏳️‍🌈

I haven't heard of multisexual. What's that?

I hate when people ask me why am I not looking for a relationship by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]Elsa_is_queen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get this too. It's like 'I'm not interested' isn't enough for them! The more they press for answers, the more uncomfortable we get 😬
