#aroacespaces

-being told you’ll one day figure it out 

- being told you’re broken 

 - constantly asked if you love your parents/friends 

 - forcing you into romantic/sexual environments when you show uncomfortableness

 - “you’re too young to know”

 - “you’ll like it when you try”

- “are you sure you’re not just ill/sick?” 

- “i’m celibate too!!” (this could be very harmful since it is participating in the erasure of ace identities) 

 - “how can you not fall in love?”

 - “i can change you” 

- “aro/ace identities are caused by trauma”

-saying someone isn’t ace for being cupio/positive 4 sex/romance 

 -“You just haven’t met the right person” 

-“ace/aro are not queer” -“ace/aro arent discriminated against “ 

-“ace/aro isn’t LGBTQ+” 

-“are you sureeeee you’re asexual?/aromantic?” 

- “i think you’re confused”
