are people under the impression that aromantic people never want to have close personal relationships with the people in their lives. "oh i wish i was aro it would save me all this drama!" actually human relationships are always deep and complicated and messy and have the potential to hurt and help and change your life and being romantic is just one possible aspect of that. aromantic people want to be close to the people around them just like anyone else. and i know the real issue is that people think romantic relationships are the only way to be truly close to someone else but it's weird and off-putting to constantly hear the implication that aros are somehow fundamentally incapable of forming relationships that would impact their lives negatively cause they don't wanna go on dates with people. not even mentioning the aros who do

the thing about "oh it would be so much easier if i was aro" is no it fucking wouldn't. yeah genuinely sometimes aro people do spare themselves a lot of shit by opting out of the weird damaging social constructs around dating. but the reason that a lot of us are able to do that is because we've spent EXTENSIVE time unlearning the societal standards that are coded onto all of us by our upbringings and actively reteaching ourselves how to value our own inherent personhood and taking the steps to distance ourselves from the social constructs and contracts that everyone else in the world participates in and making the active choice to turn away from the one thing that society promises will Make You Happy. which is fucking hard actually. and it sucks a lot of the time. it would not be easier if you were aro. you would have more reason to do this work! you might have less of a choice in it! but you could do it right now if you really wanted. you just can't be bothered
