#and on top of all of that!! treating platonic and queerplatonic relationships as The Solution to Loneliness is SO exclusionary

The way so many aro people see other aro people talk about aro loneliness and their solution isn't to support them, or lend an ear or a shoulder, but instead to say "have you tried getting more friends?" "you still can have friends though!" "QPRs are out there! Try one of those!" "Hey have you heard of a QPR yet?" You are not better than people who treat getting a romantic relationship as a cure-all. You are doing the exact same "a relationship will fix you!" routine and I'm kinda tired of aros treating it as different because it's platonic.
#aromantic#aro#aromanticism#aplatonic#apl#loveless aro#loveless aromantic#like it is just generally inconsiderate to assume they HAVEN'T tried that too. you do not know if they have tried those options.#sometimes well meaning friends make it worse or friends flake on you as well. sometimes their current friends are why they're lonely#and on top of all of that!! treating platonic and queerplatonic relationships as The Solution to Loneliness is SO exclusionary#non-friending and non-partnering aros are out there and deserve to have their problems respected without this shit
