My aromantic experience:

When I tell my friends I'm aromantic and they know what it is

See I kinda assume not everybody knows about aromanticism so it's a superise when they actually know what it is.

Navigating aromanticism and not feeling valid enough and therefore labelling yourself with commitment issues🤡🤡🤡

My aromantic experience:

Mom: You need to learn to do chores, how will you help your future kids

Me in the future:

Oh well. Kids? Thank you next

But I do want pets 👀

My aromantic experience:

Me having to deal with relatives who say "I bet you have a boyfriend" during family gatherings.

And if I reply no their response is a guarantee 100% "oOOoHHh rEaLLy"

My aromantic experience:

A reenactment of the convo between me and a friend during Valentine's last week:

We were the only ones early in the classroom this time cuz we were both on the school committee in charge of the Valentine's decorations.

He was the funny class clown and popular kid so of course he wanted to talk and I was the quiet kid 🫠

Happy aro week guys 💚🤍🖤

Have this really sweet person that I’ve vibed well with and wants to be in a relationship but I want to introduce them to the idea of qrps and I’m nervous cause I don’t want to seem like some weirdo. Ugh, screw amatonormativity

[fynplushbabeyy]

Proudly settling more into my aro identity and finding what works for me as well as what doesn’t.

The invalidation I’ve received after telling people that I’m aro is just one of the things that make this experience even harder
