#aromanticpositivity

This happens when my friends and I were at a party, and as the night went by, there were lots of people who started kissing out of the blue. Like, at one moment they were dancing, and then BAM, they were kissing. That’s when I started picturing myself in that situation, which made me realise of how I’d feel if it were to happen to me (like for example someone else mistaking my actions or that it would just happen out of nowhere). It’s not that I felt it, but I just knew that I would feel like I couldn’t breathe or that I would have a panic attack.

It’s seriously one of the most amazing communities I know of, and it presents a safe place for so many people, as being surrounded by others like you makes being aromantic in a love-centered world so much better to handle.

When I initially found out I was aro I was so scared that I might be alone, but the community has helped me come to terms with my aromanticism and understand that you don’t need a romantic partner to “not be alone”. In fact, it has helped me appreciate and develop an even deeper friendship with some of my friends.

Not only is the community a safe place, but it also provides some information that others might ignore or not know. What do I mean? We all know that romantic love is not the only kind off love outside of family love, but it has come to my attention that many alloromantic people are oblivious of platonic attraction, and the aro community is slowly spreading awareness on the topic!

it is just so
