📞Aromanticism? Pick me up, im scared

[zedif-y]

on the off-chance that this resonates with someone, here's the analogy that put into words how i look at love and romance as someone who's on the aromantic spectrum. (aroallo) if you disagree, keep scrolling. don't be a dick.

---

it's like eating. everyone knows how to do this-- SHOULD know how to do it, because getting hungry is a "natural human feeling that you want to satiate"

but like. what if i don't ever feel hungry. and sometimes i see food that looks really fucking good and take a bite and enjoy it, but. i still don't feel hunger, i just liked that one food.

and everyone talks about feeling hungry. the physical feeling of it, the mental toll, the emotional aspect, but i'm just sitting there not really knowing what the hell that is. like i've felt stuff that Could be it, like flashes or whispers of it. but… if it was hunger, wouldn't i just Know?

and since i don't know, and don't feel it, i don't eat. why would i, i don't feel the need. it'd be tiring to make myself eat if i didn't actually want to, right? even if technically i should want to or the food looks not that bad. it feels like a task.

in my case i just,,,,, i've felt hunger Once. and then never again since then. and even though feeling the hunger and eating to soothe it felt Good, felt fulfilling even because i'm doing the thing you do when you feel hungry…. when it stopped, i look back on it and go, yeesh. hope i never need to do that again. i kinda like not depending on having to eat.

and sometimes i'm like, oh that would be good food. or even eat recreationally, because i don't get hungry but Damn these fries are good. it's a craving, so it Could be mistaken for hunger, but in the end if i didn't get the thing i want i wouldn't like, be devastated. or feel pain. i just go. welp. that kinda sucks. anyway

basically, i can eat for funsies . i can do the thing other people do for the experience or the fun of it-- but it doesn't change the fact that i don't really feel hunger. and that's fine.

really fucking crazy of tumblr to mark both “Aroblr” and “Aros and Aces” communities as mature content

I can’t wait to make #aromantic trend again on Valentine’s Day. I’ve been honored to be a part of it for like, 5 years now. Time-honored tradition of the aromantics on Tumblr dot com.

hey have I told you guys this one story I have involving my irl best friend, crushes, being aro as hell, unrequited love, friendgroup drama and panther roses?

Because I feel like aroblr would enjoy this story but I can't remember if I've posted it before

Weird question for my fellow aros

Does anyone know if there's a term for "demi romance favorable" im completely aromantic but my favorability towards romantic gestures changes as my connection to someone else increases

Im now more favorable to romance than I was previously but only with this specific person

Look I've seen some posts so! Shout out to aros and aces who thought that they were lesbian/gay/bi before they knew they were allowed to exist as they are! That there's a word and a place for them! I love you guys! You're not traitors to other queer people! You have no reason to feel bad about finding another label when the first one wasn't actually accurate!

Are we ready to make aromantic number one in five minutes fellas
