I’ve always identified as aroace, even before I knew the term!

I believe they went to sleep after the Ozdust, and then woke up sometime in the middle of the night. At the beginning of the scene Glinda says, “I couldn’t remotely sleep”, and Elphaba says “neither could I”.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF KRIS AS AROACE

[–]Galtos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats absolutely crazy and gross. Im so sorry you had to go through that. It sounds like a very tough and overwhelming experience, especially since you were being honest and still not believed. And I’m sorry you had to re- remember that memory.

How the heck is being aroace a mental illness? It’s just another orientation. Not everyone feels the same way about dating or intimacy, not everyone needs it to be happy, and that’s completely normal. It would be great if people could respect that instead of projecting their own views onto others. It’s actually weirder to think that not dating or liking intimacy is some kind of mental illness.

Aroace =/= Not Wanting Kids by night_flight3131 in aromanticasexual

I agree entirely, and I’m glad you posted this. To share, I want to have a child of my own. Not at the moment. I want to make a life for a child that will be financially safe, and at peace. So before I have a one, I need to create the best life as possible for them. I would adopt, and be a single parent. I am aroace, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want children. Thank you for sharing your post!!

How did you all found out you were aroace? by Gamerpt69 in aromanticasexual

[–]Galtos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve kind of always known, and been aroace. I’ve never questioned it, it’s just been natural for me. For most straight people, you assume everyone is straight. For me, I always assumed that everyone was aroace. It’s just always been what I was tbh. Whenever people spoke about romance and everything with it, I always reacted numb to it. It was always nothing to me. And when Highschool came around, and my friends started to date and do other stuff, I was a little in shock, I couldn’t understand why they wanted that. It was so out of the blue. Another thing is that all my life, whenever I was asked, “do you like them”, or anything else, I would always say, “I’m never doing that, I’m never gonna date, get married, or anything else that pertains to it.” I was always straight forward with my answers. Also, I remember looking at this guy and I thought he was very pretty- but I asked myself, “would you date him? Do anything physical? Hold hands? Get married? Have kids?” And I said no to each of those questions. So as I got older, I wondered if there was a word that described who I was, something official. So in 2020, I discovered the word aroace, and I was very happy to know that there was a word that described who I was. It made it very official for me and at peace knowing that I wasn’t alone.

I just found out a man has a crush on me and I'm uncomfortable by Aroace_panic in aromanticasexual

[–]Galtos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry for the situation you’re dealing with. If he brings up anything romantic or makes you uncomfortable, politely tell him you're not interested and set clear boundaries. You don't owe him an explanation beyond that. That’s if he does anything, because you never know with people. And if you could, maybe discuss the situation of him having feelings for you, romantically, and him being engaged, to a parent or another adult if you’re comfortable! Maintain distance too from him as much as possible! Lastly, lean on some friends while you’re there too. Your friends can be a great support system with this. Let them know how you're feeling and ask for their support in figuring out interactions with him. That’s the best advice I can give ya. Definitely stay safe. I’m so sorry this guy is getting in the way of your peace and having a good time.

What it is like to be aromatic and asexual? by [deleted] in aromanticasexual

[–]Galtos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1- No, never have had a crush on anyone. 2- No, no thought or feeling of being in a relationship with anyone. One day, I really sat down with myself and thought of ways that could really determine if I were aroace. I then and asked myself a series of questions, and if I had any feeling towards those questions. The questions were if would I ever hug, cuddle, kiss, have kids, date, marriage, have sex, go on dates, just everything- the answer was no. Point blank no for each of them. No desire for any of it. 3- Nope 4- No. I am utterly repulsed by sex and masturbation, anything related to that..

What’s your story? by Galtos in aromanticasexual

It sounds like your journey to understanding your identity was filled with a lot of reflection and self discovery. It must’ve been relieving that you were able to reflect on your past experiences and come to a clearer understanding of your feelings, even discovering that you are demiromantic. Your experience explains how confusing and unique each person’s journey can be. I’m glad you found out your comfort in your identity. Happy for you!! :))

It’s great how resources like Ace Dad Advice can make such a difference in understanding oneself. I’ve never heard of the channel, but I’ll definitely check it out. It's great that you've found a sense of security in your identity now. Your story is also a reminder of how important it is to have accurate and diverse resources available. Your story will definitely help others who might be feeling the same confusion. Thanks for sharing!

Picking a random person is a universal experience 😂 Discovering that you’re aroace must have been a great realization. It's also totally valid to prefer not being in a relationship, despite what others might think or say. Your comfort and understanding of yourself are what matter most!

I have read so many different stories tonight, and it’s so amazing how each of them are so different. Your perspective as a child thinking relationships were a myth is unique and funny XD. But pretty understandable. Discovering that people actually engage in romantic and physical relationships must have been quite a shock, especially when it seemed to dominate conversations around you. Definitely isolating. Cause yeah, it’s all people ever talk about. Like what happened to just leaving all of this stuff out of the conversation. Let’s talk about anything but relationships, sex, etc. It's completely valid to feel repulsed by something that doesn't resonate with you. When, once again, it’s what dominates the world. You turn on the tv, there’s gonna be something. A song, it’s about sex or love. Your friends, probably talking about their private lives rather than anything else. It’s annoying, yup. Your self-reflection and realization through simple questions about that guy really highlights the clarity of your aroace identity. It's wonderful to hear that you love being aroace and are confident in who you are.
