The Isolation of Being Under the AroAce Umbrella

- Today I'm complaining about the isolation I've felt from being demiromantic, but I'm sure that anyone under the aroace umbrella can relate to this video. I complain about my experience with comp-be-in-a-relationship and how there aren't many aroace people in my life :(

why are you here? pay attention to the video. not very nice of you :(
As someone who's AroAce, I couldn't agree more. Sometimes I don't even feel like I belong in LGBTQ+ spaces because of the amount of times I've seen people in the community either ignore AroAce people entirely, or throw the Aros under the bus to defend Ace people (if I have to hear "Ace people aren't emotionless, they can still have romantic relationships" or anything similar one more time I'm gonna scream). Heck, I've had people claim I was pretending to be AroAce for attention because... I had crushes on fictional characters.
Anyway yeah, the folks in the AroAce umbrella are cooler than everyone else and can't be swayed by anything in life (except cake. Cakes are yummy and can absolutely sway us).
Being aro-ace isn't just being lonely. It worsens when you're cupioromantic. Because I am. And it's so, so frustrating because I KNOW that I'll never feel romantic attraction. At the same time, I WANT to know how it feels. Because everybody else feels it! Everyone else knows what it means to be romantically attracted to someone! Why can't I?
I'm demi aroace, and everyone looks at me weird whenever I mention I don't really have a celeb crush, never have, and if I HAD to pick one, it would be based on their personality and how they treat those around them. It was extremely annoying to have to JUSTIFY my lack of crushes growing up to my friends, and after a point they just stopped including me in their crush chats because I "wouldn't get it", to the point where I faked a crush in the 6th grade just to be that much closer to my friends.
True hon true, like imagine asking the friend who has never been in a relationship for relationship advice. Or the amount of times i have told my friends i like someone just to get them off my back is crazy.
I'm demisexual and demiromantic, never dated anyone, and somehow _I'm_ the one who got called in to deal with the "please stop shipping me with other people" situation that was happening with my best friend and her boyfriend...I guess I managed it well enough, because they're still together and that was almost a decade ago at this point... --_--
5:01 this is so valid why is the dungeons and dragons starter guide longer than Frankenstein
I straight up did not read that shit and you can't convince me that most people do. I learned by listening to other people play, playing with a group friendly to beginners, and using wikidot for everything, and it worked
And then it consumed my life. Oops
@ assuming you’re talking about D&D but it would be really funny if this was about Frankenstein
Im Aro(spec)Ace, and OML YOU SAID IT PERFECTLY, i feel so left out sometimes among non-AA friends.
For what it's worth, there's a LOT of aroace spec people in my university’s anime club - that's where I met most of my araace friends (seriously, _half the club_ was somewhere on the aroace spectrum last year, but 3 of them graduated, so now we only constritute a third of the club.) Not sure if this trend extends to other school's anime clubs, so it might not be comparable to taking up D&D as a method of meeting aroace folks
so true video so true bestie !!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can you be aromantic and asexual but also a lesbian?
they said they're demi so they can still feel attracted to people, namely women (😍) in their case.
@ oh I get it now.
