Hey, to any of my followers who are ace/aro, what was your experience before realizing you were ace/aro? Mine was when one of my friends told me they were ace and demiromantic and I started to really question if I was that too. I had known about asexuality before this, and had only started to reflect on it when this friend said something. I thought a lot about how my crushes weren’t actually crushes and were just people I wanted to be friends with or had gender envy over. Although I‘m not necessarily repulsed by romance or physical intimacy, I do not wish to partake in it myself and don’t understand why allos want to experience that. I first started identifying as greysexual, and then ace, and finally settled on aceflux. As for aromanticism, I started with aroflux, but now I proudly identify as aromantic. Please let me know of your experiences, as I‘m curious about how others found out they were aro/ace.
