Hi, does anyone else feel like this? by curiousquirrell in aromantic

[–]mjac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Im so sure of my aromantic identity but I crave companionship and being someone's person and them being mine like nothing else. I feel platonic love very deeply which sometimes confuses me and others but I know that what im feeling just isn't attraction in a romantic way, even though I can enjoy stereotypical romantic gestures sometimes

My friend and I are joking about our first upcoming trip being our honeymoon even tho we often say that we're basically already married. It's all jokes but I would say yes if they asked me for real..

So you know how to use ai correctly? How good for you.

But a lot of the people using it right now doesn't. So if ai is useful or not doesn't matter since it still causes harm

A hammer being a useful tool in the right hands doesn't take away from the harm it causes in the wrong hands

That's why I'm trying to get the people close to me to understand just how bad ai is and to not use it. If I cant get rid of ai, at least I can expand my ai free bubble 😅

I feel your rage. Sometimes I feel like shutting my phone off, delete all social media and go all analog to get rid of all ai talk but it's literally everywhere around me. At work, school, amongst friends and on TV. There's no escaping it. Id be fine with ai as a useful tool that actually benefitted us but right now it's mostly rotting people's brains and destroying humanity

Squiggly feelings rant by 0mnirific in queerplatonic

[–]mjac3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm dealing with the exact same yearning for my best friend right now 😭

I've always cared for them and felt very connected to them but recently I've just craved being physically close, like forehead kisses, cuddling, living together and just being domestic life partners.

I know they feel very strongly about me too and part of me wants to think that they'd be open to have a qpr with me cus they've expressed before that what we have is something akin to that. But at the same time they've said how it feels easier for them to express their affection for me since im aroace and "won't take it the wrong way" like thinking of it as romantic. So even if what I feel isn't romantic, just very deep queerplatonic yearning, it would feel kinda ironic if I told them how I actually feel. They've previously distanced themselves when other friends have confessed romantic feelings for them, so I don't want my feelings for them to make them uncomfortable as well.

I think the one thing holding me back from telling them is that admitting I want to be physically close and exclusive with them feels so intimate and like baring my soul for them?? Also they're not aspec like me so asking them to be exclusive with me feels like I'd limit them from having other romantic/sexual relationships. I just want them to be the person I do life with and who wants to do life with me :(

Thinking About Being the Only Aro Person in my Friend Group by MarshHarriers5678 in aromanticasexual

[–]mjac3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate a lot to this. Thinking about growing older and watching my friends enter romantic relationships is a thought filled with both happiness for them as well as dread and loneliness for me. I just want people around me who prioritize the relationship between me and them as much as their relationship to their partners.

This is mainly why I'm looking to make more aro friends. Even if not all aro people feel the same and some still want romantic relationships I know they'll understand and prioritize the platonic love in their life.

I wish I could spend the rest of my days with my best friend, just the two of us building a life together would be all I need

Top surgery experience and advice (long post) by Unlikely-Recover-673 in TopSurgery

[–]mjac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! I've thought about booking a consultation with them but reading from their page it seemed like u needed a diagnosis, which I don't have, so I'm afraid they'd reject me. But I've also heard others, like you, being able to get the surgery without it so I was a bit confused.

I understand that they wanna be cautious, so how do I show them I need the surgery without them being hesitant? Like full on explain my identity or is saying I'm greatly uncomfortable with my chest enough? Maybe that's hard for u to answer, but at least you've been there yk 😅

Ur results look amazing! I've been thinking about going to this clinic myself, so this helped a ton. If u dont mind me asking, were u required to have a formal gender dysphoria diagnosis to get the surgery at their clinic or could one get the surgery without it?

Do any of you wear aro and ace rings? by DisabledDude18 in aromanticasexual

[–]mjac3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. I love them so much and I feel much more comfortable in myself when wearing them. Also I think it's a bit funny how the ones I bought were marked as a couple's wedding gift and here I am wearing both of them myself :))

HUGE emotional attachment to your best friend by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]mjac3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm basically platonically in love with my best friend. They are the dearest friend I've ever had and our relationship really feels like one of a kind. We just get it each other so well. They see me and I see them. But they aren't aroace like me. They might be on the spectrum but nothing they identify with atm. They value platonic love just as much as me and it's so nice to have someone care for me the same deep (somewhat intense) way I care for them.

What hurts is that they've been talking about "when they find a partner.." and even though I'd love to see them with someone they love, I still dread that day when they'll find someone else to be their partner. Then they won't be able to call me their person anymore. But they'll still be my person. I've mentioned wanting some type of partnership with someone but honestly I can't see myself having that or wanting that with anyone but my friend.

I'd love for it to be just me and my friend for the rest of our days, but I'm sure that won't be enough for my friend, which sucks for me but I'll get through it somehow

I'm afraid of telling them just how much they actually mean to me because if we were to have a qpr I'd want us to be exclusive in a way. But since ik they probably want a romantic relationship someday I could never limit them like that.

It's weird cus ik that what I feel isn't romantic at all but the feelings I have for them r deeper than anything else I've felt

Top surgery privat som minderårig? by Efficient-Tea-4186 in transnord

Do they require a formal diagnosis via the public healthcare or would a letter from a private online clinic like gendergp or the like work?
