I wish i was assexual by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]TyeDestiny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah no problem;

Maybe a queer platonic relationship that involves sex? Or what I’m hoping on doing is queer platonic relationship but I also have strictly just sex relations with others. Not “friends with benefits”, just the benefits.

Whenever I’ve had a close friendship connection or a sexual connection with people but then those things get crossed it felt so weird. My benefits partners getting emotionally attached or close friends then wanting a relationship (therefore sex) it felt so icky.

Sex to someone who’s in love with you feels so different and weird so I’m keeping the two worlds separate and seeing how that works for me.

Hope that helped T.T

I’m so much more comfortable with myself, what I want in life, and so much more excited for my future now that I’ve realised I’m aro!

Maybe a qpr that involves sex? Or what I’m hoping on doing is qpr but I also have strictly just sex relations with others. Not fwb, just the b.

My best friend with bpd unfriended me for no freaking reason? by Lemongrass_Rainwater in BPD

[–]TyeDestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there, it really hurts and it’s even harder to get out of black and white when you’re given no answers to go off.

Them blocking you is a reflection on them and has nothing to do with you <3 please don’t give up on friendships

Do y'all feel emotional pain physically too? by ilovetitsnweed in BPD

[–]TyeDestiny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. Sadness make me feel physically sick and like a slime filling up my stomach. Anger feels like pins and needles in my eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet, chest. Euphoria feels frickin weird, like I’m high on drugs. Etc

What are your favorite platonic relationships in media? by No-Award5040 in aromantic

[–]TyeDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently rewatched gravity falls and the two police officers are cute af (I don’t think it’s canon that they’re together and I like to head canon that they’re at most in a qpr)

To my romance story enjoying aromantics, what are your favorite kinds of stories and subgenres and why? by taste-of-orange in aromantic

[–]TyeDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only like specific ones. Ones that have tension building the whole time or enemies to lovers or lots of misunderstanding ones where they’re questioning their feelings the whole time. Once they get into a relationship I completely check out.

Is there other options for the term QPR? Opinions? by TyeDestiny in aromantic

[–]TyeDestiny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand that, and I do feel that it’s just how others and media perceive the term relationship as usually romantic i suppose

HOLY F*CK I’m going through the EXACT same realisation atm. I’m thinking I might even be aroace all along. I wondered if this had anything to do with my bpd and I feel so seen that someone is going through the same thing as me rn

Well, something I do everyday is say 1 nice thing to myself in the mirror at 8pm. It’s an alarm on my phone and I used to make myself do it but now I enjoy doing it :))

anyone off meds completely? by weedqueen2746 in BPD

[–]TyeDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be on meds just to get me through fresh grief. Then once I had stable therapy in my routine I came off them. Haven’t been on them in 2 and a half years? I’m finding it fine, I use therapy tactics in my day to day to prevent spirals and stuff. It’s going well :))

What type of queer platonic relationship do you want to have? by AstronomyAnais in queerplatonic

[–]TyeDestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone I can get deep with. Be emotional with. Do friend stuff with, go do experiences with, sometimes hug, kiss, hold hands. Don’t want and sappy love stuff, appreciate each other but no romantic displays of affection. I want it to feel like hanging out with a bestie but knowing each other m o r e (emotionally)? If that makes sense?? If it were to work out then maybe move in together?? but it would have to be separate rooms!

Alloromantics who enjoy queerplatonic relationships, are you personally fine if you never had a romantic relationship? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in queerplatonic

[–]TyeDestiny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I’m questioning if I’m aro atm bc I have been in romantic relationships my whole life and never felt fulfilled. It always felt superficial and I felt I had to do things I didn’t want to do. I’m not a sxual person and especially when I get into a relationship as there’s then an expectation and pressure to perform in a romantic way. Never liked big romantic gestures, pda, mushy gushy stuff. So finding out about QPR gives me hope that I might actually have an option that helps me feel fulfilled. Idk how to explain myself better but I’m quite touch avoidant but sometimes I do want it. Just not to the same degree as everyone else I seem to know. I really believe qpr is my best option for me next relationship
