it is sooooooo difficult to be aromantic. almost nobody understands. you can know about the concept, but understanding is something entirely different. i love my best friend - granted, not romantically anyways - but i want to love them because i want to spend the rest of my life with them but i literally can't and i can't expect them to be like "oh you don't love me romantically, that's chill" because it's not. i hate feeling so god damn broken all the time why can't i do what normal people do all the time?

Most normal people are totally messed up. It's normal to be a broken person in our society. So being the odd one out gives you a better chance of actually being happy, if you just go by the numbers.

And even people who are "typical," for lack of a better word, still have the same dating woes. A lot of them might not even know what their real sexuality is for years and years, and that's even worse than where you are, if you ask me.

I know how you feel. My situation isn't the exact same, but it's similar. I love my husband, romantically, and have since not that long into us dating. But a few months into our relationship, I realized that I just wasn't interested in doing anything sexual with him or anyone else. We got married anyway, because he's convinced that I'll be able to tell a doctor that I have zero sex drive and that they'll be able to fix it because it's most likely a hormone problem, but I'm not so sure. Most of the time I just feel like I wish I was normal.
