i am an aroace. to specify my identity as an aromantic, i am a lithromantic who is attracted to both men and women. i am happy to identify as an aro...

but sometimes, i hate myself for being one.

i experience romantic attraction, but it fades once reciprocated; i experience romantic attraction, but i don't want to act on it; i think about being in a romantic relationship, but i don't think it would feel the same once it becomes a reality.

i've always loved being a lithromantic because it means i would never experience getting hurt over romantic relationships or breakups.

but at the same time, it makes me wonder how it would be nice to fall in love—to smile and laugh with the person you're attracted to, to hold their hands and embrace them, to wipe their tears when they cry, to listen to each other's favorite songs, and to be with them when they need you or just because you both want to.

it's fun to think that there will be no risks, but it also hurts to know that there will be no chances.

if only i were capable of falling in love—and capable of handling the feeling of being loved— then maybe i wouldn't feel as shitty as i do right now. :)

SPOTLIGHTING LESSER-KNOWN QUEER IDENTITIES THAT I THINK ARE COOL PART 1!!!!

LITHROMANTIC (ALSO KNOWN AS AKOIROMANTIC OR APROMANTIC)!

Folks under this identity go through romantic attraction, but without the desire for reciprocation!

Simply put, they may like someone, but don't want them to show romantic feelings back or be romantic to them and may lose interest or feelings for them if they do so!

IF I SEE ANY HATE UNDER THIS POST I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!

I feel like lithromantic is just a person falling in love with the idea of someone, not the actual person themselves. So once you actually get together, that illusion of them is shattered and your left with a real person. Someone with lots of unpredictable flaws of their own. This makes them unattractive to you and you no longer want to be with that.

This is what I feel like happens to me and why I call myself lithromantic. Do any of you feel the same?

This is a cute animation by Alex Unite that explains their experience as lithromantic. :) Lithromantic, also known as akoi- or apromantic, is a part of the aromantic spectrum. The definition, according to Aromantic Wiki:

Somebody who is lithromantic can feel romantic attraction towards others and also enjoy being in romantic relationships but only in theory. They do not need the affection to be reciprocated, and as such do not usually feel compelled to seek out a relationship with someone they are interested in. Some lithromantics may also stop feeling their romantic attraction once in a relationship.

does anyone else ever just feel like there’s just something... wrong? just with like how you are. 

I don’t know how to explain it but I think it’s just something I’ve been coming to terms with but all my siblings have partners. A good amount of my friends have partners as well. But for me I don’t. Not because I can’t get one (lol) but because anytime I’ve had a relationship with someone, I just get grossed out despite liking the idea of a relationship.

But that’s the thing, I like the idea of it but I hate being a part of it. Which i found was called Lithromantic. i felt at ease when I found out about this but the thing is it still feels like i’m missing out 

i’m trying to come to terms that i’ll probably never find someone who i can be with romantically without getting grossed out but at the same time it’s like, why not? the only person i’ve ever felt comfortable even kissing was my friend but that was purely platonic and it’s just-idk i’m confused and it feels like im broken when i know i’m not and it’s hard to come to terms with that. and it’s something i’ve been trying to for the past four years.
