The radio is playing 'Out of Touch' on a Tuesday. Illegal.
I saw a post that said that it's so annoying how people always make a person who does not reciprocate romantic feelings out to be a villain. As someone who is aroace I fully agree with this and this is more an explanation of why I think this is such a common concept.
In my opinion one of the bigger issues regarding this situation is the fact that people are taught that their romantic partner should always be prioritised over their friends.
I think that most allo-romantic people feel so offended when you tell them you don't have romantic feelings for them, is because they view love as a ranking system. With strangers being the lowest and romantic and or sexual love on the top. Therefore if you tell them that you experience 'mere platonic feelings' for them, they see that as a lower ranked emotions and feel underappreciated. Since most people are told that romantic partners and romantic love is more valuable than friendship and platonic bonds, they will interpret it as a rejection of saying 'I don't value you as much as you value me'.
Also I don't mean to downplay the feeling of genuine rejection, however it does start to become a problem when people blame the other person for not reciprocating.
Be gay, love your friends, and be nice to busdrivers and retail workers

Having friends who aren't aroace is fun. You can just send them some art of a random person and watch them absolutely go feral over some drawn lines.
Love it when friends have your back
I think you mentioned liking the oh hellos once? If you do, what's your favorite song?
Hi!! YES, I have multiple favourites:
Constellations
The vibes of Constellations is just so perfect, I think this was one of tbe first songs of The Oh Hellos I became absolutely obsessed with.
Eat You Alive
This one is just really good. Lyrics <3
New River
Once again, the amazing vibes. From the same album as Constellations, so similarly vibey.
Hello My Old Heart
This song has so many aroace feels to me, this used to be my favourite song a while back and it's still really good.
I added spotify links to the songs! And there I probably some more I forgot about but yeah
Anyways I love talking about songs thank you so much for your ask <3
The aroace experience of hating truth or dare questions because they always end up being about romantic/sexual attraction
