So recently I discovered the term "arromantic" and I feel very identified with it. For those who never heard of it, I will try to explain myself:
I do not have or feel any romantic desire to other people, I love my family and my friends but I don't feel any romantic connection to anyone. Just thinking of sticking my life with somebody else does not attract me at all, I don't see myself getting married in a wonderful wedding, or spending one week with the same person in a tropical luxury resort; spending all my life with the same person is something I don't want to do. And I do like kissing, hugging, and doing these affection actions with my closest friends or when having sex, but everything is NSA. According to society roles, we are all supposed to find another person to spend our lives with, live together, go on holiday together, enjoy our hobbies together, give us gifts,... All that does not work for me.
I've considered myself weird for years because of this, I wasn't sure if I was a boring person, asocial, or why was I the way I was. Now that I have heard of this term, I think I have finally understood why am I the way I am.
Had you ever heard of this term before? Do you associate yourselves with it? Or know somebody who does or could be?
