hey aros/aces of tumblr has anyone else figured out to express the sentiment "I hate it when people complain about being single to me" to allos without them launching into the perfectly valid ways in which they are unhappy with their singleness or conflating "complain about being single" with "talking about dating or being attracted to anyone."

#tempted to just make it i hate it when people complain about being single to me because if you're not happy single #you won't be happy in a relationship. bc that's more acceptable than being like. yah its bc im aromantic #like i get it i get it it's a big thing! its a valid complaint! making it to me is the equivalent of talking about how much you hate kids #to someone who has kids. im glad i tested expressing this opinion to my good friends first before letting it Breach Containment #maybe like i hate it when ppl try and commiserate with me about being single. although that does exclude just the person who complains abou #being single and then when you offer possible solutions they reject all of them and like. alright fuck me do you really want a partner or n #although i might be having an autism moment there and that one is also. commiserating. which explains why im ok w my more autistic friends #complaining bc they mean what they say. bc like if i can't relate to ur emotions. at least let me fix problem #aro #ace #aroace #idk like i'm fine with hearing about my friends dating lives crushes funny moments etc. love that! love that for them #want 2 be up to date on the lore. but when it starts being 'you know how being single is the worst thing in the world' like nope! not me!#please you are making me so uncomfortable do you know how long it took me to accept that i don't want what you want?#do you know how much it hurts that you think i want something that i would never be happy in?
