i wonder how aromantic people deal with loneliness
not just, you know, the standard loneliness where you feel like you need someone’s company
but the inherent “emptiness” associated with not being understood by a lot of people, or always never being first in your friends’ minds because they don’t see your friendship as better than their romantic relationships.
the loneliness associated with the general stigma against “not being able to feel anything”, not being able to fall in love and get married, not really, not like how others would want to experience some day.
of wanting people to just understand and acknowledge that you exist, that how you think and feel is valid, and you’re not any less of a person and should not be valued less just because you can’t feel the same way most people do.
that you need relationships too, and companionship, and to be loved. just not in the way most people feel, but that doesn’t make it any less of a need.
i wonder how aromantics are supposed to deal with all of this, honestly.
Some people just never get how imprudent l important this is.
i really wish platonic relationships were more important. i’m tired of losing friendships because i’m less important than their significant other. i hate that i’m automatically not as close to my friends because i’m not the person they’re dating/sleeping with. and i hate how whenever i complain about it the response is “you’ll find someone too someday!” like no I shouldn’t have to “find someone” to feel loved and important, maybe we should stop promoting investing all your time and effort and physical and emotional intimacy into one romantic/sexual partner idk
What Happened To Thor In "Avengers: Endgame"? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jennaguillaume/avengers-endgame-fat-thor-chris-hemsworth-body-positivity?utm_term=.tlQkZy8Qpv#.tlQkZy8Qpv
After some weeks of being uncomfortable I finally bit the bullet and had a coworker verbally warned about his sexual misconduct towards me. Standing very close just behind my shoulder, saying I'm beautiful, staring. I've asked him to stop but he and a few others thought I was joking; his comments towards me aren't bad they make me highly uncomfortable. I hate the idea that I should be flattered. Fuck that. I don't like that, I don't want that. I don't care if you don't mean it that you're just joking. It adds stress to an already stressful job. I told you to stop, end of story.
Only you can decide if you want to come out. Personally I don't foresee myself coming out to my parents unless my aromatism becomes an issue with them. But at 27 they haven't really pushed the issue of my complete lack of relationships. I have told a few friends but no one has really given me grief. I don't make a big deal of sexuality irl.
no ones paying attention to me anyways so i doubt people will answer me but?? are u supposed to tell people ur asexual?? or like come out to ur parents as asexual?? or no one care?? idk!! or what about demisexual too??
I'm 27 and finally found out I'm different...not broken, go figure
