    I was cool with figuring out I was Ace, it is harder for me to accept that I’m on the aromantic spectrum. It’s obvious that I’m gray romantic, I’ve only been romantically attracted to 5 guys in my 50 years and have only been on one date.
    I love watching romantic movies, listening to romantic music and love hearing how couples got together and fell in love. Life can be confusing sometimes!!

    It took a friend to teach me about
    aromanticism glad she did help me find the orientation that I relate to the most i still love my aro identity however I do have platonic and even aesthetic attraction to people i felt like being between pan/Omni when it comes to platonic and aesthetic attraction however can never imagine myself in a romantic / sexual relationship it's true that we can be caring and loving despite being aromantic some people like to think we can't feel loved we're heartless or robots however not our job to educate them and I will never apologize for not being able to be attracted to people romantically

    I have to say, the hardest part about finding a place on the aromantic spectrum for me was discerning what romance actually is.
    The concept never made much sense since it seemed like so what is the difference between this and friendship, I re-watched the video on what it means and so perhaps in a way it was more a different matter.
    My training is very much geared towards tangible matters "Reals over Feels" as they say and so a lot of what it means to be romantic seemed like empty ritual or social display so I believed what I'd been told about romance being a capitalist construct when in truth it is real for other people (albeit capitalists found a way to make money out of it) but not for me, albeit there seemed a lot less expectation for me to ever have romantic feelings due to autism but that's by the by.
    Hope everyone had a happy Pride Month and has a happy Disability Pride Month.

    I just found out I'm aromantic (pretty sure I don't experience romantic attraction at all). It was weird discovering something like that when I've been in a romantic relationship for 6 years, and we're still figuring out how things might change within that relationship going forward.
    The other day my friend admit to her crush that she had feelings for him, and they decided to try things out. It was so strange, but, for some reason it hit me then. The fact that I may never have the type of relationship I want. I had to go back to my dorm and cry. I've always known I am asexual, and that was difficult to accept on its own, but *this* has been an extremely hard realization to come to.
    Anyway, sorry for venting. Thank you for visibility you give this community. I really love your videos and the way you explain things. Definitely gonna check out some of the creators in the description. Great work 💚

    I just noticed your t-shirt! I love it 🤍 you seem to be a nice guy! you got my sub!
    Weddings were always so boring to me and I never liked traditions ... I always avoid them.

    I wish I knew that it was ok to be Aromantic when I was younger. I just was just blaming my disability on why I was like this 😅
    I even had a conversation with my boss saying 'Why can't I fall in love as easily as everyone else' What's wrong with me'. 😅💚💜

    Ever since Jaiden Animations of her AroAce experience, (at first) I thought I truly was Aromantic, but my parents had to correct me and I’m not (because I wasn’t socially confident to talking to people in general at the time), and I am into girls, but because of my small school, I don’t really find any of my girl classmates romantic attractive. But I do view myself as a activist (despite not being Aromantic, Asexual, or AroAce) I still want to support them. Sure I’ll never have the emotional moment where I realized I can’t feel romantic or sexual attraction. To an extent, I kinda felt that but again only because I don’t find any girls attracted at my school, but that doesn’t mean I’ll find any girls I like-like at college (like my parents told me about). And I do happen to know three people two friends at my school who’s Aromantic and one who’s AroAce. While a best I have that goes to a different school is Asexual. Plus, I really did feel in love with the Aromantic, Asexual, and AroAce communities when learning more about them. And I do imagine being a single, childfree adult with with emotional support dog or cat, with one or two more housemates.
