So i live far away from my bff and whenever i visit them they are also hanging w their bf. my bff is super tactile and pda w their bf, and it can get really obnoxious and frustrating a) it excludes me b) i feel awkward c) it stings a little as i wont ever get their sugar sweet grossness. any tips for coping?
Hey! So this can be a kinda uncomfortable situation. If your friend know that you’re aromantic, you could just sit down with them and tell them “hey, I’m happy for you and all, but I’d appreciate it if you could tone it down just a bit because it makes me uncomfortable” (not those exact words, but you get what I mean xD). I would really just try to tell them in a gentle way how you feel, and see if that helps. If you’re sad about the romance, I’d just remember that romantic love and stuff isn’t all there is. For instance, I know a couple people in a QPR that act so much like a romantic couple that they get mistaken for one all the time! You can still have the sugar sweet grossness without all the romance, if that makes sense.
