Being aro but not knowing or
‘I would date all my freinds, but also dating and romance feel uncomfortable—I like romance novels but also I can’t relate to them? I used to pretend I had crushes on ppl’
@Doggo this is... surprisingly familiar??...
like I always used to wonder what "being in love" was like?
I'm like... 90% certain I AM in love with Miq, and I was in love with my ex, and... well various people I've been intimate with or in a relationship, and I do deeply love a lot of my friends but it... doesn't feel any different, between friends and those I'm in relationships with??...
...i dunno. it's weird. my brain is weird.
@Nine yeah same?
I dunno it’s hard bc...I feel romance is a social construct almost? I dunno.
I mean I guess I’d have to ask somone who isn’t aro if romantic vs platonic love feels different?
For me the stuff is feel is the same.
And bc synesthesia I know it’s the same bc the image concept of love looks the same when it’s in my head.
