Aspec people who use the label “queer”, you’re so important. I’m glad you exist.

Aspec people who would use the label but feel they can’t because of aphobia, I’m so sorry. I wish you safety and peace.

Aspec people in general, I hope you’re having a good day. You deserve a community that accepts you.

I'm demiromantic which means I'm attracted to no one and can't see myself in a romantic situation at all, EXCEPT if it's with this one person I'm really close to. I trust them with my life, they know me inside out and would absolutely let my romantic desires become true with them 💚. Yes, I'm still part of the aromantic spectrums! To anyone else who has ever felt like they don't belong or been told that they don't belong in the aro spec bc they experience romantic feelings and desire: you are part of the aromantic community too 🥺🙌. That's literally why there's a spectrum! You're welcome 🏳️‍🌈

someone: hey can you give me some relationship advice?

me who's aroace: communicate.

someone: I tried but it didn't-

me: break up.

dude having a platonic crush on someone is so weird, cause you wanna be around them and talk to them all the time, you always think about them, and you constantly wanna hug them and hold hands (if you like physical touch) with them but the thought of being romantic in any way with them is just extremely uncomfortable

I genuinely hate when people invalidate demiromantic/demisexual/other labels in general by saying somethin like "OMG!!!! why do these labels exist that's how every relationship is!!!!! what has this generation come to?!!?,!?!!"

some people out here are dating someone they just met two days ago. while it literally took me two whole years of getting to know someone before having a crush on them. can y'all please not find excuses to invalidate aspec/arospec people. thanks

here's to the romance repulsed aromantics. not wanting to date or have a marriage or partnership is okay. it's not unhealthy, shameful or bad to enjoy being single and wanting to stay that way. not wanting to be involved in discussions about romance or other peoples' romantic lives is not a personal attack against the people who have them. not wanting to be touched, called pet names or shown affection is a proper boundary to establish if that's how you feel. not having an interest in fictional romances (romantic comedies, shipping, etc.). is not a moral failing. not wanting to be near or witnessing romantic displays, fictional or real does not make you an asshole.

you are allowed to assert what oversteps your boundaries. you are allowed to curate your experience online and have conversations with those you interact with in real life about your boundaries. you do not owe the world romance or time and attention for it when your needs aren't being met. your experience as an aromantic person deserves to be positive when and where possible, just like anyone else's- you do not deserve to be uncomfortable

Queerbaiting sucks... but

I find it so affirming as a person who struggles with their romantic orientatation. I just live for that state of not quite friends/not quite lovers.

Like yes, they are partners, yes, they live and die for eachother, yes, every other relationship they have loses all meaning compared to them. But also no, they haven't kissed, and they don't want to kiss, and yet, somehow, every single word, every single glance, every single touch carries so much meaning and conveys so much love because this amount of platonic love is usually unheard of and they don't want the other to misunderstand. And I just- aaah, it gives me so much hope and reminds me that romantic love isn’t the only type of love worth experiencing and showing on screen/paper.

I do wish it was done intentionally and wasn’t just a product of homophobia and capitalism. Like I really, really hate the reason I get this representation. Like, it also leaves a somewhat sour taste in my mouth, because I can see that if the world was more accepting, it would probably be a romantic relationship.

(I sometimes see people calling queercoding queerbaiting, and just to make it clear, that isn't what i'm talking about)

I just wanna send some love to aromantic/arospec people who HAVE experienced romantic attraction and/or feeling romantic attraction right now. this DOES NOT magically make you allo, since your form of feelings are Different from them, and you’re aspec enough <3

Children do not need to grow into being people, they’re already people and of course they have things to learn but they deserve to be treated with autonomy and respect. Especially queer and disabled children, we deserve better.

gentle reminder that being aromantic is fucking awsome

we're all awsome and I respect you all

Hey y'all, despite not being on the aro or ace spec (I don't think), I have had to hide crushes from friends, and here are my experiences on how people without crushes are treated.

1. They're treated as if they are much younger, and not actually grown up, because society seems to base people's maturity on their willingness to have relationships/have sex.

2. The constant "you'll get it someday". Like, no one ever stops to consider how that might make everything worse, and just make life harder for closeted/questioning people.

Remember - these are just experiences I have had when people thought I didn't get crushes. I am in no way trying to say I have experienced the same thing as aro/ace spec people. If you have anything to add, please share <3
