So recently I’ve been wondering whether or not I’m aromantic, I’ve watched some videos on it and I seem to mostly fit the criteria but I think I’ve had a crush before (in 7th grade), and I googled it and it said that being aromantic can change throughout life and now I’m kinda confused
So naturally, the most viable option is to post about it on a forum for a roblox pirate game completely unrelated to the matter at hand (this is sarcasm in case you didn’t pick that up)
So I’m asking the forums for opinions/advice
(@Sykadelik I’m pinging you specifically because I think you’ve been in a vaguely similar situation before)
life is always a vague cloudy mess and you don’t need to rush to label yourself with stuff if you’re not sure it fits. feel however you feel and verbally describe it to people as needed
What Bastard said—labels are stupid and arbitrary means to try and classify what are really just massive variations in your brain chemistry. What makes you “asexual” may be entirely different from what makes another person “asexual”. The term barely has any solid meaning, and I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you.
Aight so, first of all I’m proud of you for thinking about this because it can be fucking stressful. Secondly, and this may contradict what I just said, but don’t dwell too hard on it.
Most aromantic or asexual people will tell you about how there’s always a question of whether you really are that - believe me, I believed I was both for years (even tho I’d been in a relationship before) until learning this year I’m lesbian - and that’s okay! People say you aren’t meant to know at this age, but to be honest, I’m not sure you’re meant to know at any age, because again your views can shift a lot and that’s okay!
The fact that you’re thinking about it is good enough, and there’s no need to find an answer immediately! And if you do find an answer and things change, then that’s okay too.
