I desperately need someone to explain aromantism to me. The Google definition is not enough. I know what it is, obviously, but for some reason, it is SO difficult for me to understand. Whenever I read about aromantism, I feel like I'm only reading about aroace's, not aro's.
Whenever I think of aromatic, I can't help but think negative about it, because it involves sexual attraction. I'm a fool when it comes to sexual attraction because I don't feel it, so I don't know what it's like. And I also suffer from sexual trauma..but I don't know if that's a valid reason. Throughout my life, I've seen sexual attraction as kind of a messy thing.
By thinking negatively about aromantism, I mean: Do aromatics only care about sex in a relationship(if they happen to be in one)? Or: Do aromantics just want sex, and no fully committed relationships? Those questions has been on my mind ever since I found out about aromantism.
And I know aromantism is a spectrum, the whole Aroace community is. But I'm talking about the iconic, original aromantic flag we all know and love.
I'm asking because I feel terrible for feeling like this about people of my own community, and I feel like I'm dehumanizing aro's because I can't understand how their sexual attraction works.
Don't worry, I will NEVER hate or be aro-phobic to anyone for the way they feel a certain attraction, best believe that.
If ANYONE, could answer my questions, I'll make you a nice dinner.
(please, it's stressing me out— I cry when I'm stressed out—)
