salty aros of the world unite

a blog for aromantic people to be bitchy and salty together. we appreciate that this is neither progressive or thoughtful. we just need a place to vent.

im sso tired of people telling me ill eventually find my "other half" the person who "completes me" like no. im not incomplete im not a half.

[arosalt]

I just want a fwb relationship without the other getting romantically attached, is that too much to ask?

[arosalt]

when u skip the 'nobody loves no one' line at the end of Wicked Game by HIM bc jesus dont ruin the otherwise good song like that

no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice

[zelldas]

and there isn’t just “one other person” out there waiting for you. you can love multiple people over your lifetime. you can love multiple people at once. you can have more than one soulmate, or none. you can be your own soulmate. 

my point is…you aren’t missing your “other half.” you are a whole person by yourself, and if you love someone, you need to understand that they are a whole person too, not your “other half.”

Jfc why does no one understand it's okay to not want to date someone or suck their face off There's a guy in one of my classes who constantly flirts with me, even after me asking him to stop bc it makes me uncomfortable. I'm really fed up so I've downloaded Meghan Trainor's No and if he doesn't stop I'm just gonna blast it while pointedly staring at him until it's too awkward for him to continue. If he still doesn't stop, he then has cause to be Afraid For His Life

tfw you try and express disgust at pda to alloromantics and they tell you that "[kissing on the cheek] isn't THAT bad" and "just because you don't like it doesn't mean people will stop". it really hurt my feelings and made me mad like bitch you know i'm aromantic why are you surprised by this. >:(

a neat video on singleness. it’s a little self deprecating but maybe worth a watch.

So, do you guys sometimes get struck by how aro you are/feel, and it's both immensely reassuring because you feel like you make sense (?) but also stressful because PEER PRESSURE / no one understands / you also want kids / people keep saying 'aw you'll find s/o someday :)' / you feel illegitimate / the occasional 'fuck maybe I am missing out' panic? Or just me?

ahhhhhhh peer pressure

you fucked me up when you thought i was straight and you fucked me up when i thought i was romo 

and also i totally get the mb i’m missing out panic i understand but also people complain about their relationships a lot + they’re an awful amount of effort and expectation to talk every day and shit and.... i talk to my closest friends like once a week at best so. it’s okay fam we’re doing well.
