I’m aware that I’m not responsible for other peoples happiness.
But as the resident aromantic I know “all about being alone” and whenever I have a friend going through a breakup, it puts me in a position of “the token diverse friend” in media who pulls the main character out of their funk by showing them all the wonders that can happen when the MC stops worrying about [thing that the token diverse friend doesn’t experience]
And it pisses me off.
I don’t exist to make you feel better about yourself. I don’t exist to make you feel better about being single. Don’t you dare say “oh well I know how that feels, being single”
No you fucking don’t. Stop comparing aromanticism as a synonym for single. It’s not, and you are being a dick.
Allos if you have Aro friends stop fucking putting them in that position. Go find someone else to treat like a toilet to dump your emotional shit in, because on behalf of the arospec community I’m fucking calling it.
