#aro struggle

[somearoshit]

Ok so I'm doing my senior thesis on how the media's depiction of romance is really destructive and fucks people over, and while im really glad I'm writing about this issue and raising awareness and whatnot,,,

Talking about romance for 20 pages is kinda the worst thing ever

My aro-ness has doomed me to be eternally confused

How do I like... get closer to specific people.... without a relationship or a QPR.... but also having something other... than friendship???? It's confusing. I don't want to date. But there's some people where I'm like..... "What actually are???? my feelings??? towards you???" They're all good feelings but I don't know what box to put them in? And every box I put the feelings in they don't quite seem to fit for long???

And like, how many of my feelings are just projected shit. Stuff I think I should be feeling. The prospect of liking someone terrifies me kinda, honestly.

If I'm being totally clear with myself:

What?

Let me send my feelings back to the factory I didn't sign up for this.

I had an actual point to this but talking about being confused made me more confused and now I have no actual point anymore

I am soooooo normal about my friends btw

Definitely didn't almost cry because I want a qpr but dont know if they'll ever think of me the same way

Thats so odd why would you even think that
