I used to be ok waiting for tomodachi life but since the demo I can feel every hour between me and the game and it HURTS

[cringe-time]

I am so tired of not having any kind of companionship in my life but dating is the scariest thing in the world and I don’t wanna do it

[cringe-time]

Really truly yearning for a boyfriend or qpp who I can be physically affectionate with to go on vacations with and try new restaurants with and then cuddle while watching a movie

The train is a place where people primarily go to sneeze and cough as loud as they can for an hour straight

I think the worst part about being aromantic and not wanting to be is that since it’s a lack of something, it’s hard to fully accept it cuz there’s always the hope that maybe you’ll meet the right person and live happily ever after

Hey my cupioromanticness is really hitting me hard rn so can anyone give me hope that I might fall in love someday? I’ve identified as aromantic for 6 years now (wow that’s crazy), I identified as demiromantic before that but I switched to aromantic thinking “ok I’ll just say I’m aromantic until proven otherwise” hoping beyond hope that I would be proven otherwise, but it hasn’t happened. I don’t want people telling me it’s ok to never fall in love, I know it is but I don’t wanna hear that right now. I want stories of people who went their whole lives having zero romantic feelings and then genuinely fell head over heels for someone and lived happily ever after. Thanksssssssss

I just went to an aro meetup and I was feeling good about being aro and now my Spotify is playing like real people do and wasteland baby just DESTROYING ALL OF THAT

I’ve been thinking about how I’m aroace and I have to wonder….. ever since kindergarten I’ve been waiting to develop a crush, and over the years I got more and more impatient, which resulted in me hyperevaluating my feelings towards every new man I meet, if I find him attractive, how my body feels around him, etc, trying to figure out if I have a crush on him. In the back of my mind (and sometimes the front) EVERY time I meet a guy I’m trying to figure out if he’s FINALLY the one who I develop my first crush on. And I wonder if being this hyper aware of my feelings (or lack thereof) has like…… caused my aroaceness???? Like the fact that just out of habit every time I meet a man I’m paying so close attention to how I feel that I’m preventing any feelings from developing??? Is that possible?????? And if so how do I stop cuz I’m cupioromantic so if there’s a way I can retrain my brain to stop being so hyper aware and feel attraction as a result that would be like literally my dream lol

Cuz like a few months ago I met a guy that checks basically all my boxes and I feel nothing, and I have to wonder if it’s cuz every time I see him I’m reflexively internally going “ok how do I feel, do I have butterflies, do I feel giddy, am I catching myself staring at him”, and if that’s preventing any feelings from developing. UGH
