About 6 days ago I found myself in a situation that allowed me to discover my experience with romance, being more than okay with it when it’s about others, but being grossed out and anxious about it when it happens to me. Yup, I’m romance averse.

This happens when my friends and I were at a party, and as the night went by, there were lots of people who started kissing out of the blue. Like, at one moment they were dancing, and then BAM, they were kissing. That’s when I started picturing myself in that situation, which made me realise of how I’d feel if it were to happen to me (like for example someone else mistaking my actions or that it would just happen out of nowhere). It’s not that I felt it, but I just knew that I would feel like I couldn’t breathe or that I would have a panic attack.

In spite of this, the following night, when someone I knew had a crush on someone, and they kissed for the first time I got happy for them and couldn’t help but smile. That’s when I noticed the duality of my feelings towards romance and all suddenly clicked.

It's the second anniversary of the INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY! On this day, I would like to share a personal account of mine. I'm demisexual myself and coming out as one isn't always easy. Firstly, as always, peer pressure. But if were just peer pressure, that might be possible to handle. Rather, it's seen as a way for people to gain attention by asserting that they are different. In simple terms, often the validity of people like me are questioned. The most irritating of all is when cis het people, especially not all, expect us to accept their invitations or the society expects it to be a one-look-let's-go kind of matter. They often don't understand how important it is to build a rapport and bond mentally before getting physical about things. In simpler terms, primary attraction is expected to be a given which often ends up in people not accepting a "NO". There are also circumstances where people don't understand how both primary and secondary attraction may not exist for some people. That's why it's important for us to educate our youngsters about the different kinds of people around them and the kind of person they themselves might be. It's also crucial to teach people how to say NO and how to accept a NO or another person's rejection. . . . Have you faced these same issues? Or any different ones?

Day 30: (The final day of Pride month) Aromantic (or Aro) is a romantic orientation that describes experiencing little to no romantic attraction to any genders. Aromantic as an identity by itself means experiencing no romantic attraction however there is a spectrum of other (arospec) identities experiencing attraction under specific circumstances/differently to the norm. Common experiences of an aromantic person can include disinterest in romantic relationships, an only theoretical understanding of romantic attraction, or aversion to romance. #lgbtpride #lgbtqpride #lgbtqiapride  #lgbtrights #lgbtq #lgbtqia #lgbtqiaplus  #gay #pride #aromanticrights  #noromance #aromanticpride #aromantic #gayrights  #gaypride #aro #humanrights #arospec #identity #queer  #aromanticflag #aromanticprideday  #aromanticpositivity #pridemonth #pridemonth2022 #sexuality #aromanticspectrum #noromanticattraction #littleromanticattraction (at AROMAntic) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfbEG2zvDtI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The aro community is really important. And not just to me, but to everyone else as well!

It’s seriously one of the most amazing communities I know of, and it presents a safe place for so many people, as being surrounded by others like you makes being aromantic in a love-centered world so much better to handle.

When I initially found out I was aro I was so scared that I might be alone, but the community has helped me come to terms with my aromanticism and understand that you don’t need a romantic partner to “not be alone”. In fact, it has helped me appreciate and develop an even deeper friendship with some of my friends.

Not only is the community a safe place, but it also provides some information that others might ignore or not know. What do I mean? We all know that romantic love is not the only kind off love outside of family love, but it has come to my attention that many alloromantic people are oblivious of platonic attraction, and the aro community is slowly spreading awareness on the topic!

This is why, on the first day of this year’s aro awareness week, I’m celebraron being a member of this lovely community!

That arospec feeling when you finally come to terms with your aromanticism and you picture yourself living on your own in a house full of bookshelves, in the woods on a mountain where you can grow your own garden and practice archery.

it is just so

AAAAAAAAAA

This was a commission! And so much fun to do. A 12x12 size acrylic painting. I worked with only a palette knife and a LOT of paint. These are the colors of the aromantic pride flag. This is queer identity where a person who identifies as aromantic or "aro" does not have interest in romantic relationships. But that doesn't mean they are loveless! Many aro people have very deep relationships with friends and family that are full of love. It's just not the romantic kind.
