I'm actually crying right now. I've always dreamed of falling in love and just being in the perfect relationship and having a great family but a while ago I realized I'm aroace. Everyone describes falling in love as this amazing thing and it hurts so much to miss out on it and there's nothing I want more than to be able to do that but I can't.

[@LeePorteous6]

I completely understand where you're coming from, Allyson. Fortunately, being an aroace isn't the be all and end all, there are opportunities to still have relationships (possibly platonic) and having a family and still having a fantastic life with someone! I wish you all the best with your journey ♥︎

[@laurynr5593]

I feel the exact same way :/

[@berrysantics2342]

I feel that way too

[@ro643]

100% agree

[@Sophiashipsit]

I feel that too

[@trashman424]

This really touched my heart... as an aro person, it really can make me feel left out to see such little representation for us, even in the LGBT+ community. I've recently been through a very bad breakup with someone after telling them about how I've realized how I feel. They seemed... angry at me for telling them

[@LeePorteous6]

It can be really hard when someone who you tell doesn't understand. I can see where they are coming from - Having feelings for someone who it turns out doesn't have feelings for you is rough - but I commend you on having been brave and honest with them. I'm so sorry that things didn't work out, but I wish you all the best for your journey ahead :)

What is aro person ? Cause I'm same but I'm straight

[@user-ms5nh1ji4h]

@@smilealways4978 Aromantic is hard to describe, basically... You don't feel what other people say love feels like. You can get Squishes, which (from experience) you might think are crushes, but they aren't. It's hard to describe, I would suggest research, maybe take notes? Start with the basics, i.e. the definition, what squishes are, then move on to things like interviews with aro prople and how to tell (Don't take the 'How to tell if YOU'RE Aromantic!' Test. They are waaaayy off and most definitely not made by actual Aro people.) And connect the obvious dots first, then others. If all major things match up, wait a little, come back, re check on it. Maybe do much more indepth research. It worked for me, and it's the best advice i can truly give on how to tell.

I recently figured out that I am aromantic and I have this boy that I’ve known for three years who’s in love with me and I’ve told him that I’m aromantic and he understands that stuff and he still hopes for a relationship and I feel like it’s so rude for me to deny his feelings all the time but each time he says I love you it’s just...repulsive? I hate that I feel this way but I am proud to be aromantic

[@LeePorteous6]

Thanks for sharing! I wish you all the best with your journey ahead, I hope things work sort themselves out for you and this guy :)

[@hannahh8119]

But... You don't deny his feelings, you just express that you're not feeling the same, right? Anyway, you wrote this a year before... :D

[@odettem2446]

I... I relate so much to this. It’s like this weird feeling in your gut when someone tells you they love you romantically. I’ve had to reject 6 people because I’m aro and I feel bad for rejecting them, but it would never work out, since I have no romantic attraction, and most of the people I wasn’t even friends with before so like it was weird that they asked me out in the first place.

[@vivilikesfr1es]

if you find it repulsive or arent comfortable with him saying things like "i love you" to you, then tell him to stop. he should know your boundaries as well. continue being proud to be aromantic and keep being you honey

[@akanimagerman7301]

I can totally relate to what you're feeling here. I don't know if I'm grey-ro or just not attracted to that friend, and naturally a person who isn't romantically attracted to a lot of people (I've only ever had one romantic crush and I'm almost seventeen). But it's not the first time I've suddenly felt repulsed when someone expressed their feelings for me.

[@bekkykropp9504]

I always hear aromantics being portrayed as we just don’t want a relationship at all. But it’s so comforting that I’m not the only one that wants a relationship but just doesn’t feel any romantic or sexual attraction to anyone. I want to be ‘normal’ but I’m not. I’m slowly starting to come to terms with it and realizing that I don’t need to fall in love to do what I want to do with my life. Thank you for making this song even though I’m late to hearing this is is truly beautiful!

[@blueberryphantom7492]

This song made me cry so much. I found out a couple days ago that I am a aromantic Asexual and I am overthinking about my future. I wanted to have a husband to love and kids but now,I can't. I am just defeated right now.

[@LeePorteous6]

Things will improve from here for you :) Platonic marriages are possible, and you can still have children. There'll be an adjustment period as you continue to come to terms with things. For now, don't stress about the future, think about the present

[@cupid6979]

StressedOutFantasy Fantasy me too! I’m so scared I don’t want to be alone but I can’t fall in love it’s like impossible:,(

[@nemo5819]

I felt the same thing when I first found out. I plan to just take it as it comes and hope to find a man who understands my situation.

[@buttercupsandbreakfast]

I know how it feels. When it really kicked in what aromantic was, I just felt so guilty, that my parents would not have a wedding for me or grandkids, that I’m missing out on highschool break ups and relationships. The feeling of swooning and seeing a crush. I hate it. The worse part is all my friends don’t understand, I say aro, and they say ok, but I can’t talk to them about it. They don’t understand and never will.

[@celinegilbert3055]

@@buttercupsandbreakfast I am so sorry for you! You’ll find someone to talk about it💞

[@JuMixBoox]

This reminds me of moment I realised I was on the aromantic spectrum. I was in a relationship of over a year and I remembered our first kiss and how he was totally blown away by it and I felt - nothing. I had realised a little time before that that I wasn't sexually attracted to him or anyone, but I blamed my age. I thought that maybe that was how it felt to be a lesbian kissing a boy. But deep down I knew it wouldn't be any different with a girl or naybody else. I figured I just didn't like him that way, which, in hindsight, I would probably have realised way sooner if I had ever been romantically attracted to anyone. The odd thing is that I really want to be in a relationship. Like, I want somebody to come home to and tell about my day and somebody to think about in the middle of the day and smile and somebody who will be there for me and I will be there for them and my thoughts will immediately go to them whenever I make a decision or see something I should totally buy them as a present. I want somebody to love and potentially have children with one day. But maybe that's just amatonormativity and it would change if I had more friends or maybe I'll one day find someone else asexual and we'll have a wonderful QPR together. Who knows. I definitely don't.

[@LeePorteous6]

I totally understand where you're coming from. I find for myself that I want to have a relationship with someone and so I've tried so hard every time to feel something for them so that I can actually feel okay about going into it, but I never feel an emotional connection with them. They're just a person that's there. And it sucks. I hope that you can find someone to share your life with who you will be happy with! :)

[@JuMixBoox]

Lee Porteous I'm sorry I'm only answering now, I figure I didn't properly read this two months ago, but thank you. Thank you very much.

[@JuMixBoox]

@Zephyr Jordan Hey! I appreciate your message. I had heard of the term and also used it for a while. Funnily enough, while my feelings haven't changed that much, I have somewhat accepted not to have a specific label and also recently questioned whether or not I might just be homoromantic and, as cliché as it sounds, not have found the right person yet. In the end, I've realised, labels are just tools to describe your feelings and no two people have the same. I don't really know how I'll be labelled in the future, especially if that depends on the life circumstances I'll be under, but I'm kind of okay with that. Still, thank you for your kind comment!

I was in a poly relationship and every pet name and 'I love you' made me feel sick. So i left them and started trying to find a label to place myself under. So for now, even if it is temporary, I'm aromantic.

[@annalisefreeman6421]

I came across this video after recently figuring out why it was so hard to show and reciprocate affection I know now why it was so hard to be in a relationship once, and I have not been in one since I really enjoy this song and I now express as an aromantic

[@LeePorteous6]

I'm so glad you like this song! I think it's awesome that you were able to figure things out, and that you express yourself as an aromantic! I think it's a really hard thing to do - there isn't a lot of information about aromanticism around and so it can be confusing and frustrating when you can't figure out why you're struggling to have a romantic emotional connection with someone.

[@xanzusx]

Thank you so much for this song, it´s so hard to find Aromantic media, and it makes me feel feel like I am truly alone against the world. Sometimes I feel like It was my fault for not falling in love, and always tried my best to at least show some interest in other people, but the reality is that it´s just physically impossible for me to feel that. I feel at peace being Aromantic, but when everyone who has ever showed interest in you wants a passionate relationship and you can´t reciprocate those feelings it makes you feel like a heartless person :(

I tried to tell one of my friends about being ace because I was questioning it at the time. They were my best friend and I was really hoping they would be helpful but al they said was idk if I were you I’d talk to my mom about it. So yeah that was fun. I needed to talk to someone and knowing my best friend could never understand what it was like was a horrible feeling because i talk to my friends about stuff rather than my parents and it was a big blow right in the face. Anyway I’ve never had a crush before and if anyone comes across this who has had a crush tell me what it’s like

I'm glad to see that theres an aro community here on KZbin. I'm scared I'm going to have to pretend and be in a relationship for my parents, but that feels unfair to whomever I end up faking falling in love with, not to mention that I am relationship repulsed, so the thought of being in something like that just makes me feel sick. My parents support my bi brother, but any time I try to tell them I'm not interested in that sort of thing they go straight to "you'll meet someone", "just keep an open mind", and give me relationship advice. It just feels awful, and I don't know what to do. I'm just glad I'm not the only one.

[@saltedegg5207]

Thank you, this helped me a lot recently. I recently have been conflicted regarding if I should take a step back with my relationship because I’m aromatic and asexual but the other party expects me to still reciprocate their romantic affection and gestures but I can’t because in an aro ace and I’ve told them this but they don’t seem to understand that. And I’m willing to teach them but they claim they already know but they don’t act like they know. I still care about them which is why it has taken me months of trying to talk about it with them and I have no friends who are aro or ace that I can talk to it about so with most other subjects I tend to take comfort in music however it’s very hard to find songs about asexuality and aromatics. However I’m so glad I found this, I seriously can’t thank you enough for making this, not only did it sound beautiful but it helped me feel more comfortable and remind me that I’m not alone.

I’ve been questioning for the past few months whether I’m aroace or polyamorous demipanromantic ace. I’ve slowly been realizing I’m aroace. This song really hit hard- the first few lines pulled at my heart, and I don’t think I’ve really ever felt a song so relatable before. Scrolling through all the comments feels good- like I’ve finally found people who understand me. The youtube algorithm did a good job recommending me this and helping me find so many people I can relate to, who all share some of the same concerns and experiences.

Honestly until recently I've never wanted anything more than a platonic relationship with anyone... and I cringe at the thought of being in a romantic relationship... but now I'm in a non-romantic, non-platonic relationship with someone (unaure if it's a qpr or not) and it's amazing and beautiful. But... I sometimes feel like that the kind of love I feel isn't enough for them... like it's 'lesser' than the kind of love he feels for me... so I can feel this song at least a little bit.

Ok this song made me realize that I actually love myself. I identify as aroace and I could never imagine settling down, marrying or having kids. I value my freedom and independence the most and while I deeply love my friends, I could never be bound to one person as a significant other, it would be too forced and I need my space. I absolutely love that and wouldn't want it any other way. But I am concerned about my future because I have not many friends, only a handful, but these mean the world to me, I just love them so much (platonically xD) and I appreciate every second I spend with them. And I know that they have other goals, instead of travelling around they want to settle down and have a family. I know I will lose some of them, but I can't imagine living like they would like to. And finally realizing who I am and what I love gives me some piece of mind.

I found out I'm aromantic last year. But there's this guy who has had crush on me for 5 years and keep trying to get together with me despite countless friendzoning and rejections and me even telling him I'm aromantic and explaining what it is. I feel bad to reject him so much and we are drifting further and further apart and I really don't want to lose him as a friend but he keeps talking about love and trying to pull moves on me and I'm honestly kind of disgusted. I still question if I am aromantic sometimes, I feel like I'm not human sometimes too.. Also Happy Aromantic Awareness Week everyone

It's a hard road to be on when someone else is trying to pull you across to their lane! I hope things work out for you :)

just a lil reminder that you can have a wonderful and complex and fulfilling worthwhile life without a romantic partner.

I love this song so beautiful I am aro/ace (:

[@jaybirdishhhhhh]

the hardest part, for me, about being arospec, is that i try so hard to feel romantic love for others. i want to be able to say “i like you too” but i just can’t, and i hate myself for that, because i know that i can love, it just doesn’t happen to me like it does for other people. my friends can just go on a few dates with someone and fall in love, they can get to know someone and become head over heels. i can’t do that. i can’t just find “the one” because it’s so hard for me to see anyone is a romantic way. i can’t just date people. i don’t catch feelings, and it hurts when someone tells me that “it just happens over time” because it doesn’t. not for me

I'm really confused because, I used to have the feeling of like when I was younger. But I don't now. The thought of a relationship disgusts the current me. I'm so confused because I don't feel anything like joy or happiness, and part of me just thinks that feeling aromantic might just a side effect of my depression in my case.

[@Ryker73]

I never fall in love and im a AroAce so yeah, but I did wish that I can have a good family in the future

[@georgietunnel4103]

I'm just now realizing that I might be aro, but I'm dating someone who is very much not aro, and every time she says she loves me, I know it's in a different way than how I love her, and I feel so guilty when I say it back, but she is really into me and has this whole plan about how we are going to live together in a few years, and she says she wants to stay with me forever, and I don't know how to tell her that I can't reciprocate her feelings

[@leom.8540]

I always wanted to be like the other kids who had crushes so I forced myself to think I had crushes on all these unavailable people and thought I was in love When I felt feelings of friendship for men. Wich ended with me ruining basically all of my friendships with men at first... until I figured out that that's not romantic love.

[@connorwayne2487]

I don't believe in love I hate everybody :)

[@brainr0t343]

Will this be on Spotify if it isn’t already?

[@LeePorteous6]

This song isn't currently on Spotify however I can look into this for sure.

[@panntay476]

I like how I just found out am aro and I understand now why I always been dating ppl around me and cheating cause I was trying to feel and get the butterflie feeling am sorry if what I said is wrong Ik what I did was wrong but now I understand that’s it’s alright to be aro

[@Lucas-om4do]

How do you do it? I've only recently discovered that im aromantic and its kinda depressing, cause at some point of my life I want to have a family and all but I dont know if I can anymore

[@LeePorteous6]

It can all seem very daunting, so I understand how you are feeling. For myself, I found that just focusing on the present rather than thinking ahead, helped me to accept what it means to be an aromantic. There is still ways that you can have a family - there are platonic relationships, or you may find someone who you feel you can have a family with even though you're aromantic. Keep your chin up ♥︎

[@Lucas-om4do]

@@LeePorteous6 thanks a lot, I will :D

[@AS-oz4nk]

i felt like that (i still do a bit) but you can still have a family - and even a partner if you want a qpr! honestly, it’s just something that you have to get used to. i’m aromantic but i still want kids and i can have them, i swear you will feel better soon

[@grimyraccoon4881]

yo see that little tree on the right side of you in this video? yeah, i've got that chillin' at the side of my bed right now :))

[@BlueMoonFoxi]

I would have loved to be educated on this topic at the time of this song’s release. Maybe I would have found myself faster if it weren’t for society’s obsession with love and sex

[@eloahelliotgomes5479]

For a long time, so much that even i cant describe, i was trying rrally really hard to get a partner, but, when i understand my feelings as a demiromantic, i just... Cant feel love, i dont wanna feel love, im ok without love, and im proud of myself

[@blueaxolotol_2030]

I knew I was Aromantic Asexual when I thought I loved my boyfriend romantically but I couldn't. He broke up with me before I could even tell him if we could be a QPR. That day he told me he was Aromantic/Gay and I panicked super badly filled with the pains of being alone....I really don't want to be alone...But I understand him and we are still good friends. I still want to be in a relationship. I just hope one day I'll find someone who is AroAce like me and loves affection so we can be the cutest QPR ever...^^

[@kuyenalcantara8341]

[@LeePorteous6]
