Times like these I really hate being aromantic

I've known I'm aro for four years now and it gets harder as time goes on

The numbness and emptiness that comes with the knowledge I miss out on things most people my age experience regularly. And yet I also can't bring myself to give a single shit

Sometimes I want to be loved and I want to love someone, but most of the time that idea disgusts me

I want someone to hold me when I need it, comfort me, someone who is there for me, someone I can be weak around and not strong all the time with. But also I don't really want that

I've never been kissed and the idea of it makes me uncomfortable but sometimes I want it but for the most part I don't want it at all

I don't know what I want

Sometimes I feel the more time passes, the more aromantic I get

Other times I just want to be loved, and I want to love someone

I don't have any specific aro label for myself because I fit under multiple, and none at the same time so I just use aro as an umbrella label which doesn't help me understand what I am. Because for me I need specific labels to fit to myself and say "hey that's what I am" but I don't. know.

I hate it. I wish I wasn't aromantic sometimes.

Guys combining aromanticsm and any other sexuality is so fun in writing (asexuality entirely optional). Like goddamn just turning the romance aaaallllllll the way down in a preexisting relationship can be so fun especially if no activity really changes, just the context does

Getting aro hate from anons in my inbox is the funniest shit ever. None of them have the balls to use their actual usernames.

Whatever. Deleted and I can block them anyway so. Go find somewhere else to cry about people being different from you.

Being acearo is funny bc sometimes I'll be like hm maybe I'm making it up and I'm normal and everyone else is like this too but then I'll talk to an allo person and I'm like oh... nvm could not be me in a million years

Day three's theme is "Diversity of experiences." The second stripe of the arospec pride flag stands for diversity in attraction and experiences. No aro feels attraction or lack thereof in quite the same way, and everyone's experiences are different, but we all fit into the aromantic spectrum.

Additonal inspiration: How does your arospec character fit into the stereotypical understanding of an aromantic? How are they different? Do they have friends who are also arospec? How do they relate to each other? How are they similar and different?
