For Discussion Prompt 009: Other people's relationships are sometimes weird for me. I literally cannot imagine experiencing romantic feelings, so sometimes I have a hard time connecting to other people's actions/experiences. For a long time that disconnect made me feel isolated and excluded (tbh it still does a bit)... (1/2)
(2/2) ...but one day I decided to respond to that feeling by searching the aro tag on Tumblr and turning my focus away from the connection I lack and onto the community that I'm a part of. I think that was the point when I started to really embrace the aromantic side of identity, and it has been a really fulfilling and validating way to respond to those negative emotions.
