#affecturomantic

[a-romantic--aromantic]

okay so i found out that according to tumblr search no one appears to particularly be using Adfomantic as opposed to the other related terms and that it seems like almost no one is using Afecturomantic either, only a couple of people using Affecturomantic and most people using adfectual/adfectu- so im just checking in real quick to see if this is an accurate reading of the community because i dont want to misspeak but if im making content i want to use the right words for yall, you know?

Aro Glossary of Terms

The last ask made me rediscover so many aro terms which I learned when I joined the community in 2016 but have forgotten since. I rediscovered them in @arospecawarenessweek’s Glossary of Terms I highly advice you all to check it out! There are so many terms that are useful but, unfortunately, appear to me forgotten.

What are affecturomantic and frayromantic?

affecturomantic describes someone who's orientation is affected by their neurodivergence/ND (for me, my anxiety/depression + trauma makes me incapable of feeling romantic attraction, altho it varies based on whether im having a good day vs bad day etc) frayromantic is defined in our glossary as a sort of reverse demiromantic. it could mean different things for different people, but for me it means that i sometimes (quite often) get instant crushes on people i've never met before. either in a sense where i fall in love w/ strangers on the street (with no wish to get to know them better), or people that are newly introduced in my life that i lose interest in after a short while of actually getting to know them.

hope this cleared it up, if not you can check our glossary nwn*
