People are different here and have different rules and boundaries, please respect that in the future. Thank you.

When I came out to my friends, 2 thought I was joking, and the other seemed okay with it but a couple weeks later she started distancing herself and it was just awful. :/
(And I hate it when people say “you just need a boy/girl to come along and you’ll forget about being gay!!!hehe!!!” Like, that’s not how it works)

im sorry, @DANGER NOODLE that's hard. I wish I could do something to make it better.
please know I care and would give you all my halloween cookies right now if I could and if it would help make it better even a little.
I want you to know you were very brave for trying to explain in the first place. I am proud of you for doing that much, I can't work up the nerve to do that. i'm sorry they took it so badly.

idk of this helps but I thought seeing some positivity might help a little

So I think I somehow got a pair of aro flag gloves?? I have no clue how, but they're in aro colors (I think) and in the striped pattern. And the weirdest thing is I have no hecking clue HOW I found them?? Or where they came from??

The magic of the asexuals has been found out…

Teleportation.

They just tried to convince me that "The right person will come along and sweep you off your feet!"
s currently sobbing

wow I'm really sorry, thats bad. if you need anything just ask. I know it's hard to feel like this now but you're valid, whether or not your parents feel like it <3

Hey, I just saw this chat and I'm…saying hi, I guess??? Hi. Uh, It's really cool that there's a community on here and I'm really happy I found it. Plus, all the ace and aro positivity is super nice (Especially because I'm both). So yeah. Hi. I'm excited but didn't want to use a bunch of exclamation points. This is really rambly…

Rambly id good my fellow aro

UM HI!!!!!! ( i, for one use a fuzz-ton of exclamation points so don't feel bad. also we're all kinda ramble.) welcome to the chat!

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't be afraid to use exclamation marks here. Welcome

Hi!

Hello! Hi! Thanks! It's just really cool to see people on here because LITERALLY NO ONE AROUND ME ACCEPTS THAT I'M ARO AND I'M REALLY PISSED.

ARO!!!!!IS!!!!!VALID!!!!!
LIFE!!!ISN'T!!!!! ALL!!!!! ABOUT!!!! ROMANCE!!!!!
AND!!!!THE!!!!SOCIAL!!!!!EXPECTATIONS!!!!!TO!!!HAVE!!!! A!!!!PARTNER!!!!ARE!!!!!SILLY!!!!
( i'm not are (Not even close) but uhhh you're 100% valid my friend)

That's so stupid though. It's like… why the heck do others care if you're in a relationship/want a relationship or not?! I've never understood that. There are some things that just aren't other people's business, and telling someone what kind of relationship they should be in is one of those things.

like,,,,,your value of a person should not depend on…another person? like uhhh

YES!!

like,,,,,your value of a person should not depend on…another person? like uhhh

Yeah. Everyone gets all "OwO You'll find a nice boy and settle down and raise 10 kids!!!" like no thanks karen, the thought of sex kind of freaks me out and I can't fathom ever loving anyone romantically. Plus why the heck do I need a man (Or anyone really)? Like, I'm perfectly happy without one??? My life doesn't depend on a fulfilling romantic relationship???

Everyone in my classes are all lovesick teens and I'm just sitting here like "Uh, sure I gyess I cann talk to Ben for you… No, I don't like him, I don't like anyone."

I feel that

like,,,,,your value of a person should not depend on…another person? like uhhh

Yeah. Everyone gets all "OwO You'll find a nice boy and settle down and raise 10 kids!!!" like no thanks karen, the thought of sex kind of freaks me out and I can't fathom ever loving anyone romantically

dude i am sO EXCITED to be in a relationship but honestly ,,, s*x sounds kinda gross…..and not very fun…or necessary (for me) and i'm worried to admit that IRL because getting intimate is a big step in a relationship apparently and just, ahahhhhhh

Oof. I'm not the most qualified person to talk about this, but most people who matter will respect your limits and accept what you are and aren't comfortable with.

yes its just…complicated i guess.
i know its cliche but it feels like not wanting s*x is like, wrong

I still kind of feel that way with not liking people romantically. I just kind of feel like… idk an alien? when everyone's talking about crushes and I'm in the corner like 'I don't get it'

Saaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeeeee

being human is hard.
