In this video I notably forgot to include Biromantic, this was completely unintentional. Sometimes when you are looking for terms many may not have heard of it’s easy to forget some of the more better known ones. Biromantic is the romantic attraction to two or more genders and can present itself in many ways with any combination of genders. I’m sorry to all my Biromantic friends out there but I will be doing a video later this year solely based on Bi identities to celebrate Bi Awareness Week. As a Bi Person myself I’m really excited and can’t wait to discuss the Bi Umbrella in more detail in the future.
Had to ruin one of my closest relationships due to being extremely uncomfortable around them after a short time. It was such a relief to find out I was lithromantic and not just insensitive or cold hearted.
@@lottie_here For me, it was very painful, but that’s because it was extremely toxic for both me and the other person, and neither of us were in a good mental state. I had to cut things off via a series of very long text messages, but that was just something that worked for me. I think you have to prioritize your own mental health above anything in that kind of situation. I let my relationship drag on for almost a year, making the cut off harsh. I can’t speak for anyone else, though. Sorry, wish I could be of more help. If it’s any condolence, this was something I was able to get over in enough time.
ig I’m demiromantic? I never really understood the “love at first sight” trope and found it kinda dumb because you don’t- know them? thank you for helping me piece together more of my identity :D
I’m aroace, but I see romance differently. I don’t want it, I don’t feel it, but boy do I LOVEEE ROMANCE!! Love at first sight and any of those other random tropes- I love them! Romance is so cute yet I can’t see myself being with someone and I’m happy with that and would rather be alone :)
@@GalaxxVA Exactly, I love romance the same way I love dragons and unicorns. They are super cool and fun and despite the fact that will never experience either in real life I am happy to experience them in fiction only
@@GalaxxVA OMG SAME I GUESS THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME AEGOROMANTIC BCS I THINK I AM!! I enjoy seeing romance but I don't want it for myself also I want a relationship but a non-romantic one (sensual/platonic/seggsual). :D
@@sunset_bunch OML WERE LITERALLY THE SAME! I like shipping my Oc's with canon characters from shows/animes I like cuz it makes me feel happy, for me I actually feel sensual attraction and aesthetic attraction some terms, like if I saw a cool character design I like to stare at them and appreciate them like crazy! Like all my fictional and irl "crushes", I only imagine myself talking to them and having a nice snack somewhere and vibe about our interests without being romantically attracted to them, like I just wanna vibe with them! I'm still Heterosexual tho :) But I am Aegoromantic :)
I think I might be arospike, because I've experienced romantic attraction only a few times and it was so intense it impaired my ability to think. Also I like the word because it sounds like a type of rocket engine.
It's pride month, i've consider myself a lesbian for 2-3 years, but recently i started wondering if i am or not into the Aro spectrum (I talk about it here in case any aromantic can give me an answer) Stories: -In elementary, i had multiple "crushes" on boys in my class who changed over time (very quickly), back then it FELT like i had to have one, specifically on a boy. Looking back at it now, i don't think any of those were truely genuine, maybe i just put myself into something i didn't really wanted. -Back in 7th grade, i met a girl who i became close with very quickly. I wanted to spend time with her but SURPRISE covid. We started chating and reunited in 8th grade, in wich i started developing a crush on her. Now that one felt genuine, i looked foward to know her more, hang out with her, i even thought of her with some specifics songs. It was a diferent, more real feeling that any "crush" i had before hand (No, we never dated, after i confesed to her she just never responded back and got a boyfriend of her own) -I changed of school for 9th grade (last year) already identifying myself as a lesbian and being very proud of it (remark, since 7th grade i felt like i obligatory HAD to start dating) In my new class i made friends with another girl who was also new there. She was my only friend for a cuple of weeks until we got into a friend grup. In little time, i started thinking of her as a crush and posible lover, even if i new that she was straight and religous (SHE WASN'T HOMOPHOBIC) But just like in elementary, that didn't felt really "romantic", it just wasn't the same feeling as what i felt towards the first girl. Maybe it was just a strong platonic feeling wich i desguised as a romantic one (When she found out and obviusly didn't felt it back i was like just "ok" and continued being friends) -2023, i started school with THE SAME THOGHT I HAD FOR YEARS "I have to start dating now or never". That lasted the first 2-3 months of class, after meeting all the girls in class that i thought i could have/had romantinc feelings towards, i realiced i couldn't view them as anything but a platonic relationship (surprisingly it didn't bothered me) In the group, i feel like the one who couldn't care less about dating, and i feel ok with that. It's not like i hate romance as a whole, i like to ship characters (like Leosagi) and enjoy a well made, wholesome couple on shows i watch (like Lumity) but it's not close to be my main focus on media (im more interested in platonic relationships) Continuing were i left it, one of my friends talks A LOT about her love life and all that surounds it. Whenever she spoke about her messy past lover i thought: "How is it so hard for you to move on from someone who, in your words, was such a hateable person??" Whenever she started simping on her new crush i tought: "How can you be so head over heels for a boy you didn't even had a conversation with??" Don't miss understand me, im happy whoever finds their "other half" but i just don't get it sometimes. Long story short, i shared all of this in case someone in the aro spectrum (or someone who knows more than me) can help me find out if im actually under the umbrella or if it's just a big confution of mine. I love labeling myself as a lesbian(wich i don't know if you can be lesbian and aro at the same time) and i found most girls i met simply handsome (so i guess im not acesexual) im don't want to say that im Aromantic already, since i really want opinions from someone in that comunity. Thanks for reading, happy pride month🏳️🌈
I‘m aroace but have had crushes which were in nature demiromantic and frayromantic… but I’m also not sure if they were romantic or just intensely platonic. Anybody else feel like their orientations are nothing but total chaos? 😅
ngl I saw this comment two months ago and resonated with it completely. Now after some more time getting to know myself more I'm even more confused. Anyways there was this term "desinoromantic" that you may (or may not) find fitting.
This helped so much! For the longest time I've spent random hours of my days looking up what it meant when you got a crush on someone and liked the idea of being with them romantically, but just felt uncomfortable/just plain icky, when they reciprocated it. Now I know it's Lithromantic, which helps me know that I'm not weird and it is a thing. Thank you so much!
I felt like I was going crazy bc I knew I was probably on the aro spectrum but I still wanted to be in a relationship. I don’t feel much romantically but I love love love to make my boyfriend happy which now I know is cupioromance! I haven’t told him that I’m on the aro spectrum yet bc I wasnt sure but I think I will now. Im scared to disappoint him but I hope he understands. I still want to be with him
Hey! Just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I identify as asexual and have been searching for my romantic label for months now. At first I thought I was demi-biromantic, but then I thought I was grey-biromantic, and then I thought I was possibly aroace. I'm still not 100% sure which label fits my romantic attraction best, so I plan to do some more research on the different terms you introduced to me as well as watch your video again sometime soon :). Thanks again!
Thanks for this video, I have been questioning if I am aromantic but i'm not quite sure where I fit into the spectrum. I think I might also be on the asexual spectrum aswell, but I'm not sure yet. I'm 16, so I don't really know if I simply haven't felt romantic attraction to people because I'm too young, or If I am just aro. But i'm starting to feel comfortable with the label. Also it was nice to know the different aro-spec identities and romanticism. I didn't know what Alloromatic or heteromantic (and the other romantics) meant before watching this. Thanks!
I’m glad you learned something new, there is no rush when it comes to discovering who we are. I’m sure that with time you will understand your identity more and more I know that’s what happened with me. You’re never too young to know who you are or what you feel either. Listen to your gut and your heart and you will know.
I've been questioning my identity and people have asked me what it means to me and I could never explain it well enough to them. This video does a much better explanation of how I feel and helped me understand that this IS how I identify. Thank you for putting the time into this video.
Thank you for this, as someone who thinks they might be aro (or some form of it), this helps a lot. ^^ Edit: I'm pretty sure I'm aroflux! (I'm also aceflux so that's kinda cool)
When I found out about aromanticism, it made me realise I only had my one relationship, because I thought I should „try it out“, since everybody seems to love being in a relationship. Although I was genuinely interested in getting to know this other person, it never really felt romantic. This video really helps, as I only recently found out about aromanticism and am still learning. As of right now, I feel most comfortable with the „general“ Aromantic label.
Omg thank you so much I was glad that I learned these, few weeks ago I was sacred that I might not be aromatic but maybe I am until I remember that aromantic is a spectrum and wanted to learn about it when I have free time. And now I just found out I'm both Aroflux and Aceflux. Thank you so much for making this video this helped me so much to learn the aromantic spectrum
I keep coming back to the term aegoromantic, I love romance in fiction, and I fantasize about it through characters. But whenever I think about myself partaking in romance, well first of all I have like zero experience with feeling romantically attracted to someone- so the feeling itself paired with the activities that happen in a relationship; feels unnatural. If I ever decide to imagine myself in a romantic relationship, I really have to think about an almost completely idealized, unrealistic version of me. To the point where I'm just a character, and it reverts back to my previous point. For a while I've been running away from the aromantic spectrum because it was all so much to think about, and I thought that I just haven't found the right person yet, some shit like that. However, I'm becoming progressively more comfortable with the term 'aegoromantic' to where I feel like I can say it out loud and not feel weird about it.
As someone who's already relatively well knowledged on plenty of terms this really helped me with understanding more terms and labels, I'm always super cautious as to not falsely explain certain sexualities and this is slowly helping me be less paranoid about it💚
can tags be attached? because I think I'm cupioromantic and demiromantic, I've always liked love and I like romance, but when I'm about to start a romance with a person I feel super uncomfortable and I don't want to have a relationship until I meet the person. I think I failed as an aromantic.
Labels can come in many different combinations you can be both Cupioromantic and Demiromantic if those terms fit you. I assure you, you have not failed as an Aromantic it’s a journey for everyone.
I know this might sound stupid but I don’t know which one I am. I know it sounds really dumb but I know I fall under there aromantic spectrum but like how do I know if I’m Demi romantic or Cupid romantic, if I have never had a crush on anyone? I don’t know because I never liked anyone and I don’t want to pursue a relationship but I’m ok with physical contact and I’m ok with hugging/cuddling. I honestly don’t know. I know this like nine months later but can someone help me I’m very confused
The best thing I can think of for you atm is to try each label out for a bit and see how they feel to use perhaps over time you’ll come to understand if it fits you or not. There’s no harm in trying something out if you’re not sure. You can even use both if you feel a connection to both I hope you’re able to figure it out soon but there is no rush. Take your time.
@@Mx_Jayjay thank you so much! The main thing I am worried about is trying a label and being told that isn’t me. But I will try them all, and see which one makes me more comfortable! Again thank you! :D
It got me a little curious, though I'm probably just not ready. I have this "habit" of falling in love with someone but never wanting a romantic relationship. I like the idea of falling in love and being aware of someone on that way, but I don't want it to be reciprocal. It's probably just because of my low self-esteem. In school I had this friend who was always willing to help me find a partner or that and at first I told her when I liked someone, although later she would go and devise plans for me to confess it, which I never liked, I only liked that I liked it, not that they found out or something happened between us. Then later I understood that it was better not to tell her. Still she tried to match me with friends and others. I never had a lot of crushes on my life anyway, only about 4 and one of them strongly platonic with a girl.
Idk I'm either allo or grey romantic because I don't think I've had things like celebrity crushes and I resonate with a few stories of aro people trying to find out if they have romantic crushes, but at the same time, I've had a few people I get nervous around
So, I've been kind of questioning lately. I'm not sure about who I'm attracted to as of right now, but I feel like I relate to two of the identities listed. Cupioromantic and Arospike. Now, the thing is, I've been in very few relationships where my attraction went away after a while (Arospike), but I would like to be in a relationship despite not feeling attraction/having that spike of attraction (possibly cupio). Is it possible to have more than one aromantic identity? Or is there some identity that combines these two?
There is no limit to how many terms you can use, I can’t think of a specific combination off the top of my head, but you’re always welcome to blend them yourself.
I think i’m Greyromantic but i think i might be Lithromantic i was wondering if those could be paired together or if i have to go with one or the other
I might be lith? or maybe gray or aroflux. I've only been in two long-term relationships and in both after a while I lose romantic feelings the more we go out and do romantic actions. I'm currently in a long-term relationship but I think I've lost romantic feelings but I would still like to continue doing couple things but without romance being involved since I'm deeply connected to them. I've had crushes before but I think they may have been aesthetic attraction, confused with platonic feelings, or only happened after ppl say we look like a couple. I'm doing more research to see if I may be on the Aro Spectrum
I think I might be arospike or lithromantic. I want to have a s/o but the closer we get the more i don’t think I’m attracted to them as more than a really close friend. It’s like I want to have a relationship but after awhile the feelings fade. I feel all the “normal” crush feelings but generally when I’ve had a crush I never wanted a relationship with them. The difficult part is I’m currently in a relationship with someone I deeply care about. They have been my best friend for awhile but I don’t feel like I’m being genuine when I tell them I love them. I just don’t know how to explain it
These things take time to figure out there’s no rush. If you feel comfortable enough you could discuss it with your partner maybe they’ll be able to help you.
To be honest, i am still questioning my Romantic attraction. I am 100% sure that i am on the aro and ace spectrum but i am still wondering which aromantic individual i am. I identify as Pan and Graysexual as well (Gray-pan) because i rarely feel sexual attraction or at low intensity and i am pan because i am emotionally (and idk for sure if romantically ) attracted to all genders. However, i still apprecaite the effort for these kind of videos, Thank you for this :, ) i'll def do more research now!!
idk what i am, I would love to have what lovers do, but I don't really want a relationship and don't even experience romantic attraction. I mostly just want what comes with a relationship not the relationship itself.
i think i'm demiromantic i don't crushes man confession me after we broke up i'm cry and mad i have MANY ex. he come back at me he apologzine me he loved me i told him i'm not interested. next time i've changed mind...i want to date or i don't need it why i don't know..
I'm demi-romantic for me i can only ever have crushes or feel romantic attraction towards people i know well, this usually means people I'm friends with, im also autistic so it doesnt help as my feelings always get confused bc i always end up w 'crushes' but the issues is idk if its an actual crush or i just think the person is cool nd i wanna be good friends with people, im also asexual aswell :)
I’ve been doing a lot of research but I’m still struggling a lot with who I am. I feel attraction but I don’t want to act on it. So I have crushes but instead of wanting to date them I just like the idea of a relationship with them, but not with me. Idk if that makes sense?
i feel like im around some of this, like not just one, however i know i dont have the need to put labels, so i may wait for get some experience liking people and see my reaction. i dont know myself
I'm aro, I feel romantic attraction but It feels a bit repulsive or just overall repulsive, I feel romantic attraction but I don't want a romantic relationship so I'm a romance repulsed aro/apothi aro
The thing that sucks about being recipromantic is that you have pretty much no idea if you actually like the person until you either tell that person that you like them before actually knowing, or ask the incredibly awkward question of whether that person like YOU or not. I feel like this is definitely the main reason I don’t have a girlfriend yet, and it sucks 😞
I can imagine It’s difficult but I have no doubt you’ll find others in similar situations. Just keep being true to yourself and others will find that inciting.
@@Mx_Jayjay I’ll try my best, but the main problem for me is that I go to a school where most people, including about half of the teachers, seem to be against this kind of stuff. They don’t outright say it, but it’s easy to see where the majority stands when the topic of lgbtq+ gets brought up and for a pretty long time it got me into this mindset that people that are lgbtq+ are either either mostly attention seeking or, in my case, just trying to find a way to cope about having no rizz.
Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do when others form prejudices against us, but just know you’re not the one in the wrong they are and no matter what they say or how they look can’t change who you are.
I dont know who i am anymore. I am pretty sure im aromantic (and definitely asexual). I do feel very strong platonic attraction and even alterous but never in a romantic way. But then again, whenever i read romantic stories or watch romantic movies it makes me feel sad that i will never fall in love, ill never get married, ill never have my happy ending. It makes me feel so sad and dissapointed. I know i am somewhere on the aro spectrum, im just not sure where. Sometimes im fine being single, sometimes i feel so sad and lonely. I really am confused.
Love is a powerful force that transcends any form of attraction, being Aromatic doesn’t mean you’re incapable of falling in love or finding an individual you’d want to marry. It just means the way you love that individual won’t be in a romantic way, this is a common fear a lot of Aros experience I know I’ve experienced it many times but I promise you those negative feelings are temporary and you can have everything you desire.
currently have a boyfriend, but i'm seriously considering being lithoromantic and it scares me especially because there's hardly any of them out there, but this video helps, Thank you so much :)
I have zero romantic feelings. I love, I care but I don't feel or even understand romance. I can't even wrap my mind around the thought. Heck I can't even fathom the feeling.
I feel like I'm both lithromantic and recipromantic, if that makes any sense? I feel romantic attraction to people, but I don't really desire a relationship, but if someone says that they're attracted to me as well, then I'm fine with dating them Is it possible for me to use both labels at once?
I'm grey-homoromantic. I have a girlfriend. I love her but it isn't fully romantic. I do flirt but don't really like kissed. I like the idea of love in stories even those that I write myself.
@@Mx_Jayjay I do kiss my girlfriend like short dry ones because she likes it but I am neutral to it and do it for her. I do enjoy things like hugs. I'm also ace so no sex.
@@Mx_Jayjay oh I see. I don't mind touchy things. Always gladd to have a friendly conversation with internet people. Edit: I looked it up. I might me asensual. Thanks for pointing it out.
I think im lithromantic but isnt it little selfish "why are you even dating if your lithromantic your just playing persons feelings" (that what i been told before in life) like i am a bad person or no becuse of that? (Sorry for bad English)
My comments keep getting removed idky, is it cuz it's too long or something? 😭 I don't think I said anything offensive or exclusionist, or maybe it's a RUclips problem. Sorry if you got a ton of notifications, I just wasn't giving up until after the 15th time 😂 but basically, I was saying I may be Aroflux or Cupioromantic, but I honestly can't tell but maybe with time I can :')
i think im aegoromantic… if i would have to describe it, i love romance content, im happy for the couple in the story but i feel nothing. as a horror fan loves watching scarry movies even if they dont get scared at all
I know I'm aromantic, but I’m still not sure where do I fall in the spectrum. I have never felt romantic attraction nor been in a romantic relationship. However, I can feel sexual attraction, so I'm not AroAce. I don't really like the idea of romance, I don't want to marry, but I want to spend my life with someone, just in some sort of Queerplatonic relationship
Hi there, I know it's kinda weird (maybe) to ask but I'm still at the process finding my own orientation. As you can see at my picture I feel like I'm a AroAce. It's because I never fell in love or felt any attraction (romantic or sexual) to someone. My question is: May this be right to say I'm AroAce? I can't entirely say I'm not Demi (is it even possible to be Demi AroAce?) I hope my question is not confusing as my thoughts about them... I just don't know who else I could ask, if not someone who knows a lot about this topping.
Your question isn’t confusing at all, it’s completely possible to be Demi and AroAce. Demisexuality falls under the Asexual umbrella as well as being its own umbrella so the two can be used simultaneously.
@@Mx_Jayjay Thank you for answering me so quick. I'm feel a bit lost in this all tbh. And I'm grateful for nice people to listen to my worries and answering seriously. thank you.
Someone help me, (I’m a girl) I’m aroace but if I had to imagine liking a girl, holding hands, cuddling, hugging, etc I wouldn’t mind that, maybe I would even like that (def not with a guy tho) but I’ve never actually liked anyone or had any crushes😭
I'm aroflux I've only really liked two people in my life I always thought just always oh I was bisexual but slowly learned I like people physically and sexually just not romantically
I don't understand why all romantic terms are included in a video on A-romantic spectrum. for example, I'm not sure it's clear enough in the video that omniromantic is NOT an aro-spec identity, becuase it's an allo-ro identity
None of the terms in this video are exclusively Alloromantic (except alloromantic) including them here shows the diversity of the Aromantic spectrum and how those who are Aromantic can feel certain types of Romantic attraction through their personal Aro experience.
As an aroflux (omniromantic-aligned) individual, I appreciate the inclusion of these identities! My experience being aroflux has included shifting amongst several identities, including demiromantic, demigreyromantic, lithromantic, greyromantic, fictoromantic, dreamromantic (NOT the invalid one associated with DreamSMP. I'm talking about the one where you don't feel attraction when awake but do feel it in your dreams; this one has another name, but I forgot what it was.), fully aromantic, and maybe even arospike for a short time, but I've never once been alloromantic. That's just my personal experience, and I'm talking about my whole lifespan. The fact that the term aroflux exists is a huge help for me, because I don't have to literally switch from label to label all the time, and I can just easily settle on this one and feel comfortable whenever the small amount of attraction changes. Also, I had no idea that anvil aros existed :((( I'm definitely keeping away from anyone with that flag, now. Thank you! This video is so informative!
Ah I see thank you I believe I left the flag up on my blog from my Asexual entry which I used as a base and thought it was correct so added it to my video. I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t brought it up so thank you. I’ve just changed it to the correct flag in the blog version.
I'm sure you didn't make this mistake intentionally, but Heteroromantic, Homoromantic, Panromantic, and Omniromantic are NOT supposed to be here, they are just romantic identities like any other. They are NOT part of the aro spec and some of the aros may feel offended. 🙂
I’ve already addressed this situation in a previous comment. I’ll be releasing an Updated version of this video in my upcoming Podcast series where it will be addressed further.
Although I've never completely agreed with the idea of multiple genders like these, the definitions explained here definitely helped me understand and have a frame of reference for who I am ❤️ Thank you for making this video
I am aroace and I hate it:/… I want to feel romantic Attraktion so Bad and I want to have a partner but once when I had a date I felt so uncomfortable and I didnt know what to do and what my date wanted me to do. So I know that I am aroace but like I said… I wish it wasnt like that.
We all have moments like that but you can’t help who you are and as you learn more about your experience with being AroAce you’ll eventually feel more comfortable with it.
This has been brought to my attention before, I am deeply sorry for the mistake and have updated it on the blog version of this entry. It came about because I copied the asexual blog as a template and forgot to replace the cupiosexual flag. Thank you for pointing it out.
It’s interesting to see how the Justinian Plague was likely the most important event in Mediterranean history. Despite Belisarius’ best attempt to take the Italian peninsula he was lain low by a lack of troops and funds. This was because approximately 1/4 of all men women and children in the Byzantine territories had succumbed to a plague which ravaged through the Eastern Mediterranean in the midst of their return to triumph. Without it we would see larger funds in the Byzantine Empire’s coffers and more men on the field who could have swept the Vandals and Visigoths who now occupied the Western Empire. Overall I believe the Byzantines could have bounced back from the fall of the West but couldn’t because of a bacterial infection. All this is to say please get vaccinated, it bears no real connection to the video and you probably have, but now you’re more knowledgeable about Byzantine logistics and Roman identities. Wait, it was romantic, damn.
I know I am under the aromantic spectrum but when I get into a romantic relationship it feels suffocating but after it's over it feels wonderful and I don't cry over breakups why? I still loved them 🧍

Thank you!
Thank you
In this video I notably forgot to include Biromantic, this was completely unintentional. Sometimes when you are looking for terms many may not have heard of it’s easy to forget some of the more better known ones. Biromantic is the romantic attraction to two or more genders and can present itself in many ways with any combination of genders. I’m sorry to all my Biromantic friends out there but I will be doing a video later this year solely based on Bi identities to celebrate Bi Awareness Week. As a Bi Person myself I’m really excited and can’t wait to discuss the Bi Umbrella in more detail in the future.
I’m confused, people told me biromantic means bisexual + asexual not bisexual + aromantic
Biromantic is a romantic orientation not a sexual one. It can be either an Alloromantic or Aromantic orientation
@@Mx_Jayjay really? So does that mean I can call myself biromantic if I’m aromantic bisexual because people were telling me I was wrong
You’re the only one who can decide what labels do and don’t fit you. What they think doesn’t matter.
Had to ruin one of my closest relationships due to being extremely uncomfortable around them after a short time. It was such a relief to find out I was lithromantic and not just insensitive or cold hearted.
I had a similar experience with my first relationship, it wasn’t easy but understanding that part of yourself makes it far easier in the future.

Like all my fictional and irl "crushes", I only imagine myself talking to them and having a nice snack somewhere and vibe about our interests without being romantically attracted to them, like I just wanna vibe with them!
I'm still Heterosexual tho :)
But I am Aegoromantic :)
I think I might be arospike, because I've experienced romantic attraction only a few times and it was so intense it impaired my ability to think. Also I like the word because it sounds like a type of rocket engine.
It is a very cool term
behold, my latest creation: the arospike-inator!
It's pride month, i've consider myself a lesbian for 2-3 years, but recently i started wondering if i am or not into the Aro spectrum (I talk about it here in case any aromantic can give me an answer)
Stories:
-In elementary, i had multiple "crushes" on boys in my class who changed over time (very quickly), back then it FELT like i had to have one, specifically on a boy. Looking back at it now, i don't think any of those were truely genuine, maybe i just put myself into something i didn't really wanted.
-Back in 7th grade, i met a girl who i became close with very quickly. I wanted to spend time with her but SURPRISE covid. We started chating and reunited in 8th grade, in wich i started developing a crush on her. Now that one felt genuine, i looked foward to know her more, hang out with her, i even thought of her with some specifics songs. It was a diferent, more real feeling that any "crush" i had before hand (No, we never dated, after i confesed to her she just never responded back and got a boyfriend of her own)
-I changed of school for 9th grade (last year) already identifying myself as a lesbian and being very proud of it (remark, since 7th grade i felt like i obligatory HAD to start dating) In my new class i made friends with another girl who was also new there. She was my only friend for a cuple of weeks until we got into a friend grup. In little time, i started thinking of her as a crush and posible lover, even if i new that she was straight and religous (SHE WASN'T HOMOPHOBIC) But just like in elementary, that didn't felt really "romantic", it just wasn't the same feeling as what i felt towards the first girl. Maybe it was just a strong platonic feeling wich i desguised as a romantic one (When she found out and obviusly didn't felt it back i was like just "ok" and continued being friends)
-2023, i started school with THE SAME THOGHT I HAD FOR YEARS "I have to start dating now or never". That lasted the first 2-3 months of class, after meeting all the girls in class that i thought i could have/had romantinc feelings towards, i realiced i couldn't view them as anything but a platonic relationship (surprisingly it didn't bothered me) In the group, i feel like the one who couldn't care less about dating, and i feel ok with that. It's not like i hate romance as a whole, i like to ship characters (like Leosagi) and enjoy a well made, wholesome couple on shows i watch (like Lumity) but it's not close to be my main focus on media (im more interested in platonic relationships)
Continuing were i left it, one of my friends talks A LOT about her love life and all that surounds it. Whenever she spoke about her messy past lover i thought: "How is it so hard for you to move on from someone who, in your words, was such a hateable person??" Whenever she started simping on her new crush i tought: "How can you be so head over heels for a boy you didn't even had a conversation with??" Don't miss understand me, im happy whoever finds their "other half" but i just don't get it sometimes.
Long story short, i shared all of this in case someone in the aro spectrum (or someone who knows more than me) can help me find out if im actually under the umbrella or if it's just a big confution of mine. I love labeling myself as a lesbian(wich i don't know if you can be lesbian and aro at the same time) and i found most girls i met simply handsome (so i guess im not acesexual) im don't want to say that im Aromantic already, since i really want opinions from someone in that comunity.
Thanks for reading, happy pride month🏳️🌈
I‘m aroace but have had crushes which were in nature demiromantic and frayromantic… but I’m also not sure if they were romantic or just intensely platonic. Anybody else feel like their orientations are nothing but total chaos? 😅
I think that’s called a squish when it’s an intense platonic interest. I’m not completely sure if that’s what it’s called.
ngl I saw this comment two months ago and resonated with it completely. Now after some more time getting to know myself more I'm even more confused. Anyways there was this term "desinoromantic" that you may (or may not) find fitting.
that might be a squish but idk
This helped so much! For the longest time I've spent random hours of my days looking up what it meant when you got a crush on someone and liked the idea of being with them romantically, but just felt uncomfortable/just plain icky, when they reciprocated it.
Now I know it's Lithromantic, which helps me know that I'm not weird and it is a thing. Thank you so much!
No problem at all, I felt the same when I first learned I was Lithromantic it’s a great feeling.
My form of attraction is similar but also different. I have crushes but I don’t want anyone (including my crush) to like me back.
I felt like I was going crazy bc I knew I was probably on the aro spectrum but I still wanted to be in a relationship. I don’t feel much romantically but I love love love to make my boyfriend happy which now I know is cupioromance! I haven’t told him that I’m on the aro spectrum yet bc I wasnt sure but I think I will now. Im scared to disappoint him but I hope he understands. I still want to be with him
Ahh I see! Recipromantic is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you so much
No problem, I’m glad I was able to help through one of my videos
I'm kinda the opposite of cupioromantic- I am capable of romantic attraction but I don't care to seek out romance. Not repulsed, just neutral.
Hey! Just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I identify as asexual and have been searching for my romantic label for months now. At first I thought I was demi-biromantic, but then I thought I was grey-biromantic, and then I thought I was possibly aroace. I'm still not 100% sure which label fits my romantic attraction best, so I plan to do some more research on the different terms you introduced to me as well as watch your video again sometime soon :). Thanks again!
You’re absolutely welcome I’m glad I was able to introduce you to some new terms, I hope you find the term/s that fit you soon.
Yay! Another one of these beautiful videos! I'm gonna recommend this video to all my friends
Thank you so much 🥺
Thanks for this video, I have been questioning if I am aromantic but i'm not quite sure where I fit into the spectrum. I think I might also be on the asexual spectrum aswell, but I'm not sure yet. I'm 16, so I don't really know if I simply haven't felt romantic attraction to people because I'm too young, or If I am just aro. But i'm starting to feel comfortable with the label.
Also it was nice to know the different aro-spec identities and romanticism. I didn't know what Alloromatic or heteromantic (and the other romantics) meant before watching this. Thanks!
I’m glad you learned something new, there is no rush when it comes to discovering who we are. I’m sure that with time you will understand your identity more and more I know that’s what happened with me. You’re never too young to know who you are or what you feel either. Listen to your gut and your heart and you will know.
This is literally me rn...it's nice to know that there are people out there experiencing the same thing as you
thank you for making this video!! as an aromantic I feel underrepresented constantly and invalidated. you educating people really helps
I've been questioning my identity and people have asked me what it means to me and I could never explain it well enough to them. This video does a much better explanation of how I feel and helped me understand that this IS how I identify. Thank you for putting the time into this video.
You’re very welcome I’m glad I was able to help
Thank you for this, as someone who thinks they might be aro (or some form of it), this helps a lot. ^^
Edit: I'm pretty sure I'm aroflux! (I'm also aceflux so that's kinda cool)
You’re most welcome, I’m glad I was able to help you in some way
When I found out about aromanticism, it made me realise I only had my one relationship, because I thought I should „try it out“, since everybody seems to love being in a relationship. Although I was genuinely interested in getting to know this other person, it never really felt romantic. This video really helps, as I only recently found out about aromanticism and am still learning. As of right now, I feel most comfortable with the „general“ Aromantic label.
I’m glad this video was able to help you
Thank you so much, I just realised I may be Recipromantic :)
You’re welcome
Your voice is very soothing.
Thank you so much ♥️
Omg thank you so much I was glad that I learned these, few weeks ago I was sacred that I might not be aromatic but maybe I am until I remember that aromantic is a spectrum and wanted to learn about it when I have free time. And now I just found out I'm both Aroflux and Aceflux. Thank you so much for making this video this helped me so much to learn the aromantic spectrum
I’m so glad it helped you 💚
I keep coming back to the term aegoromantic, I love romance in fiction, and I fantasize about it through characters. But whenever I think about myself partaking in romance, well first of all I have like zero experience with feeling romantically attracted to someone- so the feeling itself paired with the activities that happen in a relationship; feels unnatural. If I ever decide to imagine myself in a romantic relationship, I really have to think about an almost completely idealized, unrealistic version of me. To the point where I'm just a character, and it reverts back to my previous point. For a while I've been running away from the aromantic spectrum because it was all so much to think about, and I thought that I just haven't found the right person yet, some shit like that. However, I'm becoming progressively more comfortable with the term 'aegoromantic' to where I feel like I can say it out loud and not feel weird about it.
That’s amazing 💚
your birthday is the same as mine!!!! i got out of denial like yesterday about being aro lol
As someone who's already relatively well knowledged on plenty of terms this really helped me with understanding more terms and labels, I'm always super cautious as to not falsely explain certain sexualities and this is slowly helping me be less paranoid about it💚
can tags be attached? because I think I'm cupioromantic and demiromantic, I've always liked love and I like romance, but when I'm about to start a romance with a person I feel super uncomfortable and I don't want to have a relationship until I meet the person.
I think I failed as an aromantic.
Labels can come in many different combinations you can be both Cupioromantic and Demiromantic if those terms fit you. I assure you, you have not failed as an Aromantic it’s a journey for everyone.
I’m sure I’m on the aro spectrum but this made me sure i was cupioromantic! tysm for posting this
You’re absolutely welcome, we’re so glad you found the right term
I know this might sound stupid but I don’t know which one I am. I know it sounds really dumb but I know I fall under there aromantic spectrum but like how do I know if I’m Demi romantic or Cupid romantic, if I have never had a crush on anyone? I don’t know because I never liked anyone and I don’t want to pursue a relationship but I’m ok with physical contact and I’m ok with hugging/cuddling. I honestly don’t know. I know this like nine months later but can someone help me I’m very confused
The best thing I can think of for you atm is to try each label out for a bit and see how they feel to use perhaps over time you’ll come to understand if it fits you or not. There’s no harm in trying something out if you’re not sure. You can even use both if you feel a connection to both I hope you’re able to figure it out soon but there is no rush. Take your time.
@@Mx_Jayjay thank you so much! The main thing I am worried about is trying a label and being told that isn’t me. But I will try them all, and see which one makes me more comfortable! Again thank you! :D
It got me a little curious, though I'm probably just not ready.
I have this "habit" of falling in love with someone but never wanting a romantic relationship. I like the idea of falling in love and being aware of someone on that way, but I don't want it to be reciprocal. It's probably just because of my low self-esteem.
In school I had this friend who was always willing to help me find a partner or that and at first I told her when I liked someone, although later she would go and devise plans for me to confess it, which I never liked, I only liked that I liked it, not that they found out or something happened between us.
Then later I understood that it was better not to tell her. Still she tried to match me with friends and others.
I never had a lot of crushes on my life anyway, only about 4 and one of them strongly platonic with a girl.
Ello, I'm here even though I'm not Aromantic, but I'm Biromantic Xd
Idk I'm either allo or grey romantic because I don't think I've had things like celebrity crushes and I resonate with a few stories of aro people trying to find out if they have romantic crushes, but at the same time, I've had a few people I get nervous around
I'm still trying to decide if I'm demiromantic or caedromantic.
So, I've been kind of questioning lately. I'm not sure about who I'm attracted to as of right now, but I feel like I relate to two of the identities listed. Cupioromantic and Arospike. Now, the thing is, I've been in very few relationships where my attraction went away after a while (Arospike), but I would like to be in a relationship despite not feeling attraction/having that spike of attraction (possibly cupio).
Is it possible to have more than one aromantic identity? Or is there some identity that combines these two?
There is no limit to how many terms you can use, I can’t think of a specific combination off the top of my head, but you’re always welcome to blend them yourself.
Thank you for your input, it's very appreciated.
i believe i might be cupioromantic, thank you so much for helpin me understand the aro spectrum!
You’re welcome I’m glad to help
So I'm aegoromantic. Ohhh
I knew about me being cupio but I never heard of aego. Makes so much sense
I think i’m Greyromantic but i think i might be Lithromantic i was wondering if those could be paired together or if i have to go with one or the other
Cause idk
You can of course pair the two terms together
@@Mx_Jayjay Ok thx!
I might be lith? or maybe gray or aroflux. I've only been in two long-term relationships and in both after a while I lose romantic feelings the more we go out and do romantic actions. I'm currently in a long-term relationship but I think I've lost romantic feelings but I would still like to continue doing couple things but without romance being involved since I'm deeply connected to them. I've had crushes before but I think they may have been aesthetic attraction, confused with platonic feelings, or only happened after ppl say we look like a couple. I'm doing more research to see if I may be on the Aro Spectrum
Thank you for making this!, It really help me find my real identity. :>
You’re welcome I’m glad it helped you
Just found out i'm Cupioromantic
That’s awesome, I’m so happy for you /gen
I think I might be arospike or lithromantic. I want to have a s/o but the closer we get the more i don’t think I’m attracted to them as more than a really close friend. It’s like I want to have a relationship but after awhile the feelings fade. I feel all the “normal” crush feelings but generally when I’ve had a crush I never wanted a relationship with them.
The difficult part is I’m currently in a relationship with someone I deeply care about. They have been my best friend for awhile but I don’t feel like I’m being genuine when I tell them I love them. I just don’t know how to explain it
These things take time to figure out there’s no rush. If you feel comfortable enough you could discuss it with your partner maybe they’ll be able to help you.
To be honest, i am still questioning my Romantic attraction. I am 100% sure that i am on the aro and ace spectrum but i am still wondering which aromantic individual i am. I identify as Pan and Graysexual as well (Gray-pan) because i rarely feel sexual attraction or at low intensity and i am pan because i am emotionally (and idk for sure if romantically ) attracted to all genders. However, i still apprecaite the effort for these kind of videos, Thank you for this :, ) i'll def do more research now!!
idk what i am, I would love to have what lovers do, but I don't really want a relationship and don't even experience romantic attraction.
I mostly just want what comes with a relationship not the relationship itself.
I'm aromantic But every one thinks I'm lying it makes me so mad
What they think can’t change who you are. Everyone here believes you.
@@Mx_Jayjay I wouldn't change also you should watch the owl house it has lots of lgptqplus representation
I think i actally may be platonromantic and ace or aroace.
Hi ! Thank you for your video I have a question (is someone can answer) is it possible to be bisexual and aromantic ?
It’s completely possible. Bisexuality and Aromanticism are within two different types of attraction and don’t conflict with each other in anyway.
@@Mx_Jayjay thank you !!
This actually answered my question as well, thank you haha
i think i'm demiromantic i don't crushes man confession me after we broke up i'm cry and mad i have MANY ex. he come back at me he apologzine me he loved me i told him i'm not interested. next time i've changed mind...i want to date or i don't need it why i don't know..
I'm demi-romantic for me i can only ever have crushes or feel romantic attraction towards people i know well, this usually means people I'm friends with, im also autistic so it doesnt help as my feelings always get confused bc i always end up w 'crushes' but the issues is idk if its an actual crush or i just think the person is cool nd i wanna be good friends with people, im also asexual aswell :)
I’ve been doing a lot of research but I’m still struggling a lot with who I am. I feel attraction but I don’t want to act on it. So I have crushes but instead of wanting to date them I just like the idea of a relationship with them, but not with me. Idk if that makes sense?
Things may be unclear now but overtime I’m sure things will become clearer for you there’s no rush.
IMA SUB U, omg, I might need these educations in the future
i feel like im around some of this, like not just one, however i know i dont have the need to put labels, so i may wait for get some experience liking people and see my reaction. i dont know myself
I'm aro, I feel romantic attraction but It feels a bit repulsive or just overall repulsive, I feel romantic attraction but I don't want a romantic relationship so I'm a romance repulsed aro/apothi aro
huh, so aroace, aego, maybe cupio. recipro is unknown, but not very likely
The thing that sucks about being recipromantic is that you have pretty much no idea if you actually like the person until you either tell that person that you like them before actually knowing, or ask the incredibly awkward question of whether that person like YOU or not. I feel like this is definitely the main reason I don’t have a girlfriend yet, and it sucks 😞
I can imagine It’s difficult but I have no doubt you’ll find others in similar situations. Just keep being true to yourself and others will find that inciting.
@@Mx_Jayjay I’ll try my best, but the main problem for me is that I go to a school where most people, including about half of the teachers, seem to be against this kind of stuff. They don’t outright say it, but it’s easy to see where the majority stands when the topic of lgbtq+ gets brought up and for a pretty long time it got me into this mindset that people that are lgbtq+ are either either mostly attention seeking or, in my case, just trying to find a way to cope about having no rizz.
Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do when others form prejudices against us, but just know you’re not the one in the wrong they are and no matter what they say or how they look can’t change who you are.
I dont know who i am anymore. I am pretty sure im aromantic (and definitely asexual). I do feel very strong platonic attraction and even alterous but never in a romantic way. But then again, whenever i read romantic stories or watch romantic movies it makes me feel sad that i will never fall in love, ill never get married, ill never have my happy ending. It makes me feel so sad and dissapointed. I know i am somewhere on the aro spectrum, im just not sure where. Sometimes im fine being single, sometimes i feel so sad and lonely. I really am confused.
Love is a powerful force that transcends any form of attraction, being Aromatic doesn’t mean you’re incapable of falling in love or finding an individual you’d want to marry. It just means the way you love that individual won’t be in a romantic way, this is a common fear a lot of Aros experience I know I’ve experienced it many times but I promise you those negative feelings are temporary and you can have everything you desire.
currently have a boyfriend, but i'm seriously considering being lithoromantic and it scares me especially because there's hardly any of them out there, but this video helps, Thank you so much :)
You’re very welcome
I have zero romantic feelings. I love, I care but I don't feel or even understand romance. I can't even wrap my mind around the thought. Heck I can't even fathom the feeling.
I feel like I'm both lithromantic and recipromantic, if that makes any sense?
I feel romantic attraction to people, but I don't really desire a relationship, but if someone says that they're attracted to me as well, then I'm fine with dating them
Is it possible for me to use both labels at once?
Yes of course if they both fit you
I'm grey-homoromantic.
I have a girlfriend. I love her but it isn't fully romantic. I do flirt but don't really like kissed.
I like the idea of love in stories even those that I write myself.
Is kissing the only thing you’re not interested in? Or do you just not like physical affection at all?
@@Mx_Jayjay I do kiss my girlfriend like short dry ones because she likes it but I am neutral to it and do it for her.
I do enjoy things like hugs. I'm also ace so no sex.
I see I was just wondering if you could also benefit from using the term Asensual since that’s a common Asensual experience.
@@Mx_Jayjay oh I see. I don't mind touchy things. Always gladd to have a friendly conversation with internet people.
Edit: I looked it up. I might me asensual. Thanks for pointing it out.
You’re welcome I’m glad I was able to introduce you to this term.
i’m aegoromantic, but the weird thing is that i still have crushes. it’s just that i feel uncomfortable in a relationship. i’m asexual aswell.
I’m aroflux :) thank you for this!
You’re welcome
Thank you
You’re welcome
that was helpful, thanks
I think im lithromantic but isnt it little selfish "why are you even dating if your lithromantic your just playing persons feelings" (that what i been told before in life) like i am a bad person or no becuse of that? (Sorry for bad English)
It’s not selfish at all
@@Mx_Jayjay i think the same but some people keep telling me that im just selfish :(
They’re just bullies you know yourself better than they do
Somone help I might be recipromantic, I’ve always thought I was aromantic but somone might like me and idk what I am feeling😭
My comments keep getting removed idky, is it cuz it's too long or something? 😭 I don't think I said anything offensive or exclusionist, or maybe it's a RUclips problem. Sorry if you got a ton of notifications, I just wasn't giving up until after the 15th time 😂 but basically, I was saying I may be Aroflux or Cupioromantic, but I honestly can't tell but maybe with time I can :')
Hi, is it possible for me to the lithoromantic and demiromantic too?
Of course
Im aroace when a fellow human sad the liked me i said what’s wrong with you
you have a lovely voice
Thank you so much
i think im aegoromantic… if i would have to describe it, i love romance content, im happy for the couple in the story but i feel nothing. as a horror fan loves watching scarry movies even if they dont get scared at all
I know I'm aromantic, but I’m still not sure where do I fall in the spectrum. I have never felt romantic attraction nor been in a romantic relationship. However, I can feel sexual attraction, so I'm not AroAce. I don't really like the idea of romance, I don't want to marry, but I want to spend my life with someone, just in some sort of Queerplatonic relationship
Hi there, I know it's kinda weird (maybe) to ask but I'm still at the process finding my own orientation. As you can see at my picture I feel like I'm a AroAce.
It's because I never fell in love or felt any attraction (romantic or sexual) to someone.
My question is: May this be right to say I'm AroAce? I can't entirely say I'm not Demi (is it even possible to be Demi AroAce?)
I hope my question is not confusing as my thoughts about them... I just don't know who else I could ask, if not someone who knows a lot about this topping.
Your question isn’t confusing at all, it’s completely possible to be Demi and AroAce. Demisexuality falls under the Asexual umbrella as well as being its own umbrella so the two can be used simultaneously.
@@Mx_Jayjay Thank you for answering me so quick. I'm feel a bit lost in this all tbh. And I'm grateful for nice people to listen to my worries and answering seriously. thank you.
It’s no problem at all
I'm Aroace and biromantic 💪
Someone help me, (I’m a girl) I’m aroace but if I had to imagine liking a girl, holding hands, cuddling, hugging, etc I wouldn’t mind that, maybe I would even like that (def not with a guy tho) but I’ve never actually liked anyone or had any crushes😭
I'm aroflux I've only really liked two people in my life I always thought just always oh I was bisexual but slowly learned I like people physically and sexually just not romantically
I don't understand why all romantic terms are included in a video on A-romantic spectrum. for example, I'm not sure it's clear enough in the video that omniromantic is NOT an aro-spec identity, becuase it's an allo-ro identity
None of the terms in this video are exclusively Alloromantic (except alloromantic) including them here shows the diversity of the Aromantic spectrum and how those who are Aromantic can feel certain types of Romantic attraction through their personal Aro experience.
As an aroflux (omniromantic-aligned) individual, I appreciate the inclusion of these identities!
My experience being aroflux has included shifting amongst several identities, including demiromantic, demigreyromantic, lithromantic, greyromantic, fictoromantic, dreamromantic (NOT the invalid one associated with DreamSMP. I'm talking about the one where you don't feel attraction when awake but do feel it in your dreams; this one has another name, but I forgot what it was.), fully aromantic, and maybe even arospike for a short time, but I've never once been alloromantic. That's just my personal experience, and I'm talking about my whole lifespan.
The fact that the term aroflux exists is a huge help for me, because I don't have to literally switch from label to label all the time, and I can just easily settle on this one and feel comfortable whenever the small amount of attraction changes.
Also, I had no idea that anvil aros existed :((( I'm definitely keeping away from anyone with that flag, now. Thank you! This video is so informative!
Thank you for sharing I’m glad you found it informative
im a platoniromantic aroflux? i have no idea
i love "last but lot neast" 😂 /pos
I did say neast I just listened back 😂 my voice was struggling from talking so much
mine kinda feels like a a mix of platoniromantic and arospike
recently found out i'm arospec :] I'm cupioromantic
6:30
Wait where’s quoiromantic 😀
You used the wrong flag for cupioromantic you used the cupiosexaul flag 😅😅
Ah I see thank you I believe I left the flag up on my blog from my Asexual entry which I used as a base and thought it was correct so added it to my video. I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t brought it up so thank you. I’ve just changed it to the correct flag in the blog version.
I'm sure you didn't make this mistake intentionally, but Heteroromantic, Homoromantic, Panromantic, and Omniromantic are NOT supposed to be here, they are just romantic identities like any other. They are NOT part of the aro spec and some of the aros may feel offended. 🙂
I’ve already addressed this situation in a previous comment. I’ll be releasing an Updated version of this video in my upcoming Podcast series where it will be addressed further.
Although I've never completely agreed with the idea of multiple genders like these, the definitions explained here definitely helped me understand and have a frame of reference for who I am ❤️ Thank you for making this video
wooo lithromantic gang
There we go now I have a term to tell people, hi I'm panromantic
I am aroace and I hate it:/… I want to feel romantic Attraktion so Bad and I want to have a partner but once when I had a date I felt so uncomfortable and I didnt know what to do and what my date wanted me to do. So I know that I am aroace but like I said… I wish it wasnt like that.
We all have moments like that but you can’t help who you are and as you learn more about your experience with being AroAce you’ll eventually feel more comfortable with it.
i am reciprosexual but now thinking about it i think i am recipromantic too :D
As a cupioromantic you used the cupiosexual flag 😂
This has been brought to my attention before, I am deeply sorry for the mistake and have updated it on the blog version of this entry. It came about because I copied the asexual blog as a template and forgot to replace the cupiosexual flag. Thank you for pointing it out.
Nah it’s ok I thought it was funny. You’re good 👍
i have recently found out im recipromantic
It’s interesting to see how the Justinian Plague was likely the most important event in Mediterranean history. Despite Belisarius’ best attempt to take the Italian peninsula he was lain low by a lack of troops and funds.
This was because approximately 1/4 of all men women and children in the Byzantine territories had succumbed to a plague which ravaged through the Eastern Mediterranean in the midst of their return to triumph.
Without it we would see larger funds in the Byzantine Empire’s coffers and more men on the field who could have swept the Vandals and Visigoths who now occupied the Western Empire.
Overall I believe the Byzantines could have bounced back from the fall of the West but couldn’t because of a bacterial infection.
All this is to say please get vaccinated, it bears no real connection to the video and you probably have, but now you’re more knowledgeable about Byzantine logistics and Roman identities. Wait, it was romantic, damn.
Honestly I think I’m even more confused about the Byzantine empire than I was
pretty much pan demi-aroace over here :)
I’m allo aro cause I don’t want a relationship I just want to *insert a synonym for sex*
I know I am under the aromantic spectrum but when I get into a romantic relationship it feels suffocating but after it's over it feels wonderful and I don't cry over breakups why? I still loved them 🧍
Love and romance are two very different things I hope you find a relationship that works for you and isn’t necessarily romantic.
@@Mx_Jayjay thank you
