Born Out of Boredom

Call Me A Butthurt Bij, I Don't Care!

Here's where my situation may get tricky. I live in an environment and society that pretty much conservative when it comes to people's sexuality and gender expressions. In other word, the society I unfortunately live in really LOVE to give ton of fucks about others' shits. The second situation is myself, I never really explicitly declare that I'm straight aromantic cisfemale, so the people who really know that I'm an aro are my inner circle only fellas. Even though I DID state my sexual orientation, romantic attraction, and gender expression openly, it's just not to-the-point.

I may be butthurt bij cause yes I'm aware and consciously know that some 'flirting' are purposely thrown at me as joke to mess around with, no serious romantic subtext behind the 'flirting' and absolutely for comedic purpose as I'm myself talk sarcasm a lot, BUT it's fucking uncomfortable, and fucking annoying when I get 'flirted' for a whole day when I have to perform professionally cause I'm working! I'm so sick of it. I don't care if I'm seen as butthurt bij who has no sense of humor whatsoever, it's just annoying and cringey and awkward to be flirted, even as joke with no romantic subtext behind the flirting.

Apart from my aro-situation self, I wanna state that talking and bringing up about romantic stuff (someone's love life, status, marriage, sex free marriage, childless marriage, etc.) is unnecessary and such dull topic to discuss about. Not everyone has the same priority as yours (one will take lovelife is important aspect in life, one may not giving fuck about lovelife), so stop pushing your priorities to others. Plus it's important to know when to stop discussing about this shit when the other peeps' reaction shows discomfort and seem uninterested in the discussion, it's one way to respect others' boundaries. Yeah that's it.
