Being on the aromantic spectrum but not at the end of it means having a crush once every 7 years like a curse that comes around and devastates your life for a while before leaving you again and freeing you of any form of romantic attraction for a few years

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

I think some people on this post don’t know what the phrase “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” means… or why it means that.

when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

daughter (non-practicing)

sister (deadbeat)

tbh i love hear me outs but i also love the opposite of hear me outs where it’s like nearly everyone thinks they’re fuckable except you

if i were attracted to someone i would ignore them and if someone were interested in me i would ignore them and if someone cute asked me out i would say no #myimpenetrablefortress

Turns out maybe I love being aromantic. I see people so desperate to be in romantic relationships and I find freedom in being very happy single.

i think more people would benefit from an "i dont have to commit to this identity, if i ever change my mind, i dont have to identify that way anymore" approach to sexual/romantic orientation and gender identity

[excited about an aro friend getting a boyfriend] congratulations! [remembers that presenting romantic relationships as a universal goal to be achieved perpetuates amatonormativity] I don't care about your relationship at all [trying to reaffirm that I am supportive of aromanticism] and I hope you break up

this was very funny to see in the drafts. i see you cube.

Guys, what if (instead of focusing on romantic or sexual relationships) I just gathered all of the interesting people I find, and put them in my ant farm?

and i do think that humans in general arent really made to be constrained to romance and monogamy in the way its enforced and understood now and i do think a lot of people only feel like they really need it because its whats expected and normal. But i say that and people get mad at me so

like im not gonna claim to be an expert on psychology or whatever the fuck but like. the idea of only having ONE extra special all important person who must meet all your needs perfectly and who cannot be substituted for anybody else and who everyone else in your life must be lesser than in your eyes is insane

i love when exclusionists try to fearmonger about hypothetical cishet alloaro men as if they're the last line of defense against some sort of Fuckboy Invasion of Queer Spaces. like we all universally agree aros are queer and suddenly Gym Bro Josh is going to pride in aro flag gear so he can siphon money from queer charities or whatever the fuck

like i WISH there was a flood of cishet men openly identifying as aromantic. i wish aromantic identity was known and accepted enough that Gym Bro Josh could realize that about himself and live his truth but unfortunately we live in a world where even niche queer spaces can barely wrap their heads around the concept of alloaros let alone, like, the rest of society
