Hexagon Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm Aromantic. As far as I know. I may be demiromantic, but I doubt it. Honestly, I'm not particularly inclined towards forming relationships of any kind. Some people are saying that they are sad to be missing out on something, but I don't really get that. Isn't a need to find romance more of an inconvenience than a benefit, and if you are capable of finding the same fulfilment in life as a romantic, I dont understand why someone would feel bad about it.

Chickenpede Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I consider myself to be pretty much aromantic. Somewhat annoyingly, people tend to come and moan to me/ask advice when their relationships go wrong, which is pretty useless for all parties given i have absolutely no experience in that area. I'm quite happy being aromantic though and i don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, i think i've saved myself a lot of heartache that people go through and most people i see in relationships don't seem to be very happy. There's a lot of paranoia and fighting that goes on in relationships (i'm told this is normal... why this appeals to people i have no idea). A few people have restored my faith in relationships a little, as they seem to be vaguely functional human beings who actually enjoy being in a relationship. This. My friends (as well as some casual acquaintances) have approached me for relationship advice more than a few times, and like you, I find it pretty amusing. I'm not sure what they think of the advice I give them (or if they even follow it), since it tends to be a tad analytical. Link to post Share on other sites
777777777 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 "Disorders" is better-sounding than "illnesses", however, that is not what I meant, at all; and I have a feeling you already know that!! :) Actually... what did you mean? Link to post Share on other sites
Almagest Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 "Disorders" is better-sounding than "illnesses", however, that is not what I meant, at all; and I have a feeling you already know that!! :) Actually... what did you mean? That you are far too spiffy and awesome to be using a word like "disorder" to describe yourself. ^_^ (At least, I think that's what they meant.) I personally don't care if people think I have a disorder. I'm proud to be dark, weird, and twisted. :twisted: Link to post Share on other sites
runester Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 EldritchEarthling: What "Almagest" stated about "far too spiffy and awesome to be using a word like "disorder" to describe yourself" - I couldn't have said it better, myself!! :) Link to post Share on other sites
R_1 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I"m an aromantic who is definitely prefers to be isolated and avoids human contact intentionally including those in my family especially people outside my main family where I don't do anything with them at all. Link to post Share on other sites
MCYX Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I am aromantic but I have feeling. I just can;t feel the romantic love feeling to anyone. I am a normal person and I have all my emotion. It does make me sad knowing I will spend all my life alone with no one to care about me. I don't have friend so I have quite a lonely life. I think I would choose to not be aromantic but life don't let you choose. Despite all the trouble romance cause I think it make life more interesting and fun. Link to post Share on other sites

MiserableGuest Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm aromantic. I don't exactly mind it. Its the asexual part that I hate. I'm pretty certain that even if I were a sexual I'd still be aromantic because I simply find it impossible to be romantically attracted to anyone. I guess that's just the way I was born.

Acevengers Assemble. Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I identify as aromamtic. The day I came across the term I finally felt free, I understood what it was I was feeling, or lack thereof. The fact that I never wanted a relationship or never found myself romantically attracted to anyone scared the hell out of me, I thought I was broken. Now I've got my head around it all I feel great and it's so reassuring to know there are others like me out there. Link to post Share on other sites

Verust Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 This. My friends (as well as some casual acquaintances) have approached me for relationship advice more than a few times, and like you, I find it pretty amusing. I'm not sure what they think of the advice I give them (or if they even follow it), since it tends to be a tad analytical. I think that may be the point as they need/want someone who is "un-biased" to help them sort through it. Link to post Share on other sites
