Bro I(ace, maybe aro?) was talking some of my allosexual and alloromantic friends and I was explaining aromantic to them and one of them goes, “please tell me you still love your friends and family.” I was like, “yeah I definitely still feel platonic and familial love, I just don’t know if I feel romantic love.”
When people say "Being aromantic must be so sad since they'll never have a romantic relationship," it's kind of confusing. I'm not aro, but it's just like, if you aren't able to live your life happily without a romantic partner, then I think you have a problem.

@@midget7141 I can feel it, it grosses me out and honestly the thought of having sex with someone makes me pretty much wanna jump infront of a moving vehicle 😌
I still get "Your sister didn't want to get married or have kids at your age either" My sister had been through multiple relationships at this point in her life and I actually do want children, just not biological ones.
Sameee, it makes me so mad when I tell my mom I will raise my adopted kids as a single mother and she just laughs and tells me I will get pregnant and marry one day :( that´s like telling me to stfu, it hurts
So annoying, my mom always acts like I'm not ace and asks me if I'm gay and stuff, and my other family always treats asexuality like a phase even my best friend thinks every 13 year old is ace like she hasn't been around teens
I relate so hard to this! It took a few years to realize, but I'm aromantic. I've always known I wanted kids, biological or not. When I was younger people would talk about their SOs or crushes and I just skipped straight to the idea of raising kids, not a single thought about who my future spouse would be or if I'd even have one.
"You're right, let me just go tell my kids I don't love them." LOL I would do absolutely ANYTHING for anyone and anything under my guardianship. I have A LOT of love.
I absolutely relate to this! I'd like to think my mushiness and soft spot for all things familial/platonic make up for the lack of romantic attraction. Romantic love is not and should not be the end-all-be-all that overpowers any other kind.
Hi y’all guys gals and other palls, what if we took back the term “alphabet ppl” from the homophobic ppl, like, personally I think it sounds like a nice lil cult but like?a good one? Like one you’d see in adventure time or something? In general if it didn’t have homophobic intentions associated with it I’d think it was kind of fun? So anyway, remember y’all are valid and very snazzy😌 And that hateful ppl who are hateful to u for your sexuality/gender don’t get a cookie and are in possible danger of loosing knee cap privileges
Let's start something new: If we can associate every letter witha good word, then why not be the alphabet people? Take a homophobic term and turn it into OUR pride. A: Amazing B beautiful C: Caring D: Darling E: Elegant F: Funny G: Gorgeous, Grand, great H: Handsome, Happy I: Intelligent J: Jazzy L: Loved M: majestic, magical N: Noble O: optimistic P: Pretty, perfect Q: Queens R: radiant S: Superb, shiny T: Talented, Terrific U: underrated V: vibrant W: Wonderful X: XOXOXO Y: YASSS Z: zealous The last three were hard for me. Add more for any letter you want.
Me : i want to be immortal People : But if youre immortal youll watch your lovers age and die Me : w h a t l o v e r s a r e y o u t a l k i n g a b o u t
Your family and all of your pets will die. If you are aroace, just imagine everything you love platonically. Your going to have to watch all of it die and thats just sad.
it kinda is- i believe everyone can identify as whatever they want and everything is valid but ASEXUAL and AROMANTIC aren't really sexualitys, asexual is just a preference on weather you like sex or not. Aromantic just means you have problems connecting with people
Name Last Name that’s not what it means. Aromantic doesnt mean you have trouble forming connections, it just mean that you are unable to form a romantic connection which is different from having trouble. People are born like this.
I laughed at the “Let me tell my kids I don’t love them” Please I need to know if people use this in their argument and if you do I’m gonna lose it.best thing ever
I just found out someone like me is called aromantic .... I feel more confident now , because I now know there are more people like me... I thought I'm the only one in the world 😂
I was in summer camp (this very bad one where the teachers were literally shit) and so there are 2 sisters (One of the sisters is lesbian) The straight one acted like she knew what the sexualities meant and started talking about sexualities to other students who literally only knew the sexuality , gay. She then gets to the ace part (so far she is doing a okay desc. on the sexualities) " Asexuals are the ones that don't feel love at all." I wanted to speak up and gives my speech on how Asexuals can feel loves it's just that they don't have sexual attraction (I have a friend who is ace and she taught me ALOT) but since I was the kid who was left out and made fun of I couldn't dare to speak up. I just looked at her like "bitch tf? no-"
Hello comrades. Just want to let you know that you are valid in your identity. No matter what part of the community you are part of, or if you're still unsure about where you fit in, I will support and love you. If you need a new parent because your current ones are shit, I'm filling out adoption papers for you all. Just call me parent (or literally whatever you want).
i really think we should drop the argument of like. “aro people can still feel love guys1!1!!1” as a way of like. justifying our humanity?? love isnt what makes you human. in fact im pretty sure being human is what makes you human. anyway yeah shoutout to loveless aros ur all swag
I'm aromantic :D and I'm loving the asexual tiktoks! But I thought it was just aromantic tiktoks Edit: Hello future me speaking! I have a question, if asexuals have space, what do aromantics have?
I'm asexual/aromantic atm, I mostly identify as this because I havent found any attraction to anyone yet so (plus I dont really wanna be in a relationship)
I've just recently came out as aromantic, I've been out as bisexual for a while now I still struggle with it though, as a part of me does want a partner for the physical intimacy and such, but its helped me understand myself and feel less disgust for myself for not experiencing romantic feelings.
I kinda would like to clear something up: Being aromantic doesn't always mean that you don't want to be in a relationship and be forever singe. Aromantic is about little to romantic attraction, not necessarily desire. That would be being romantic-repulsed, bc there are a handful of aromantic ppl who are romantic-positive and want to get in a relationship, but are unfortunate enough to never/rarely have experienced romantic attraction (cupioromanticism)
If you don't feel safe being out at home, I am now your aro, pan, enby mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, cousin, cat, dog; whatever you need
I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT. sorry for the all caps I’m just really excited. I’m gray aro homoromantic. I was looking back on all of my squishes and I realized that one of them was more than platonic. I’ve only had one crush before.
I'm out here being a closted aroace in my catholic family and since I'm so adamant on not marrying someone or dating someone in the future, my grandmother assumes that I'll be a nun instead 😂.
Could you do a drag artist one? I’m a drag artist myself who is pansexual and nonbinary and I don’t see allot of drag artist ones so it would mean allot to me if you did. Anyway I love your videos 💕
as an asexual who only understands romantic attraction I didn't know much about aromantics or understand the sexuality very well and this helped me understand alot more than I previously did
I'm aro and i have received SO much hate and it makes me so upset and watching things like this makes me so happy to know that people are so accepting!
Friendly reminder that aromantic ppl can have romantic relationships and enjoy them!, as well as qprs, and they are just as valid as any aromantic person who does not desire either ! (Im saying this as a romance-positive aro myself)
One of my friend's is aro and ace, and I'm a lesbein, and I recently moved to a hecka homophobic area, but I'm glad she's somewhere where lgbtqia+ is widely accepted. Her family isn't the most supportive to the community, so she hasn't come out, but I'm glad she has good loving people around her at school
YES! This is my compilation! The look on people's faces when I say that I'm so happy being single, that I don't wanna waste my time on a relationship and everything. I do feel sexual attraction in general but I don't understand the concept of romantic love at all lol The last one made my day!!!
Petition for tinder but only for friends. A profile would be like : Alex, 24, non-binary. I require quite a lot of attention and hugs. I mean A LOT of hugs. Not afraid to kiss the homies goodnight! Don't be afraid to rant to me or cry on my shoulder! I will probably draw you. I don't care if you are part of LGBT. I just want a friend goddammit
Omg yes, I would love to have a close friend with whom I could share my home and life, go to trips, watch films, have adventures, hug a lot, just not be romantically in love, it's not for me. I think I would write to you on tinder but only for friends☺️
the only form of attraction i've noticed i feel is the ✨ a e s t h e t i c ✨ kind. like, i think people are so beautiful that it makes me cry sometimes. they leave me breathless. but i've no particular desire to like, do anything with that, other than getting to know them better and being closer as friends. and sex is nice, but its not like i get distressed without it lmao. i really dont get allos sometimes smh.
Thats called...visual attraction i think. Theres romantic, sexual, sensual, platonic, and like visual and smth. Theres prolly more but those are what i knkw of
Idk if it’s just a me thing or if it shows even more that I’m aro and ace is that I love love and I like seeing people in healthy relationships happy it genuinely makes me smile in my real life and in books
Me as a person from Ohio when they say McDonalds at 2:04: What kinda place is that? It is a dump! It has horrible food (To me). I prefer Wendy's, the only TRUE fast food place for me. [Fun fact: Wendy's originated in Ohio in 1969 in November.]

And could you make another non binary? There's this one tic toc im trying to find and i just can't seem to find it. Its like "if lgbt+ had a picnic" I cant find it and its my favorite! Maybe you know what im talking about. But if you can find it can you put it in a compilation?
this video warms my heart and i feel valid and as an aromantic i feel vv happy and warm in my soul and even tho i've seen some of these already this still makes me happy and i have hope for once :> (that was cliche im sorry lol)
I am aro and I absolutely love valentines day. Trust me I used to hate it for how it's commercialized, but after coming out, it just gave a new purpose, which is to show love and appreciation for my family and friends. So many people focus on the romantic couple aspect of valentines that they forget that giving presents to friends and family exists. I even had a few looks from people when I offered chocolate to my friends and they ask me "are you sure you're not a couple" and I am just like " Yes I am sure, I just love my friends and I wanna show them all equally how I appreciate them"
Literally nobody talks about aroflux.. I feel like we're forgotten.. :\ (I'm aroflux, the romantic orientation that fluctuates but stays on the aromantic spectrum)
As an aroace person, I see being aro and/or ace like losing one of your senses. You might not have one thing, but everything else is much stronger than a regular persons. For me that goes as, while I don’t feel romantic or sexual attraction, my love and care for my friends is so incredibly strong many people don’t understand it.
I like to explain it with ice cream. Being ace or aro is just like not liking ice cream. “Oh it’s so sad, they will never have ice cream” no it isn’t sad, Ya know why? BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT ICE CREAM!!!!!!!
Im Ace and Aro, when ppl say "i think you hate romantic stuff" Well..... That's a YESN'T to me (i do sometimes hate Romantic stuff pls don't be mad it's my opinion :'))
To any person with a "certified" LGBT membership... If you don't want me then fine I'll leave. It's just that aces and aros need representation and awareness. Also, I was an ally long before I realized that I'm also an ace... So.
Why aromantics are always represented like people who hate relationships? What about others who want a relationship, but can’t fall in love and feel attraction to others.. it feels like a loophole with no end. P.s.: i am both aro and ace. And I want to have sex and a relationship, but I am not attracted to people in a sexual and romantic way. It is so depressive
SO RELATABLE!! Im aromantic and asexual, and people think “OH WELL IM STUPID ENOUGH TO THIK YOU DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS OMG SO HEARTLESS” which isn’t the case, I like my friends, and I care about them, I just don’t feel any attraction to them TYSM
9:15 Nah, not "physical" attraction, sexual attraction. Very important distinction since aesthetic attraction can be attraction to physical things, even people, just not in a sexual way.
Only very few people know I'm aro. I prefer not to make it public because I know a lot of people would not understand and male false assumptions. When someone tells me "May God give you a loving husband one day 🥰" I just nod and smile. It's easier than having to explain I'm aromantic. 😂
I may be pansexual and panromantic but imma support y'all aros till the end. But I want you to know that if any of y'all are experiencing hatred from your parents I'm adopting you. No matter what your gender, sexual or romantic identity is.
I'm aromantic,and I tought I was the only one who knew what it was.It feels good to have some people who actually know the definition of it and doesn't mix it with asexual.
Want to say one thing to any people who think that being aromantic shouldn't have its own title(because people have said this to me before): If you were a straight man, or a lesbian woman, would you appreciate people saying you are attracted to men? If you were a gay man, or a straight woman, would you appreciate people saying that you are attracted to women? What would you do in this situation? Explain to them how you identify. If there is no aro/ace how are we supposed to identify? (female in this situtaion) I am not straight. I am not attracted to men. (female in this situtaion)I am not lesbian. I am not attracted to women. See how that works? Everyone needs to be represented. (no one's gonna see this lol)

it makes me so mad to think about how people's negativity made me lie to myself and be someone i'm not. it makes sad to know that i definitely wasn't the only person to go through something like this.
Lauren please calm down
I feel ya in a level which can’t be legal
Instead I’ve always known I’m ace
Lauren please calm down
Also, my stupid self Cosme out to my friends as heteroromantic asexual (even when I know I wasn’t 100% heteroro, oof)
Any suggestions? I want to tell them I’m aromantic but I am afraid
@@annymus4502 well i don't really know what your friends are like, hopefully they would understand if you just said you were wrong about that and you're actually aro?
Lauren please calm down
Yeah, that’s what I guess I’ll do, like...I’m sure they’ll understand, but it would be a funny situation...
I wanna stand behind that woman with a crowd of Aros/Aces and feel confident while she yells at jackasses.
The first person over here bringing out their stand to defend aromantic ppl
Is that a Jojo reference when you said stand
F in the chat for respect!
Me, an asexual: hi im ace
An aphobe, gay dude: you just haven't found the right person yet
Me, an asexual: you just haven't found the right woman yet
Edit: Pleaseeee stop generalizing asexuals and say we don’t want to have sex
But how do you know you're aromantic/asexual I'm so confused rn help
I used to think I was asexual because I had no attraction to men then I watched lesbian porn and I found out I'm a lesbian but that does not mean any asexual person is 'going threw a phase' like I was
midget Because you don’t want sex and you don’t want a relationship. Since one night stands exist.
@@midget7141 idk, I just figured it out one day. I heard of those two words and was like “oh that sounds a lot like me.”
@@midget7141 I can feel it, it grosses me out and honestly the thought of having sex with someone makes me pretty much wanna jump infront of a moving vehicle 😌
I still get "Your sister didn't want to get married or have kids at your age either"
My sister had been through multiple relationships at this point in her life and I actually do want children, just not biological ones.
@@monamisamist I seriously hate that 'logic' If its sentient then you can't base one being off of another.
Sameee, it makes me so mad when I tell my mom I will raise my adopted kids as a single mother and she just laughs and tells me I will get pregnant and marry one day :( that´s like telling me to stfu, it hurts
@@xanzusx Yeah it definitely does. The best thing you can do is prove yourself to be a wonderful parent and you don't need a partner to do so.
So annoying, my mom always acts like I'm not ace and asks me if I'm gay and stuff, and my other family always treats asexuality like a phase even my best friend thinks every 13 year old is ace like she hasn't been around teens
I relate so hard to this! It took a few years to realize, but I'm aromantic. I've always known I wanted kids, biological or not. When I was younger people would talk about their SOs or crushes and I just skipped straight to the idea of raising kids, not a single thought about who my future spouse would be or if I'd even have one.
"You're right, let me just go tell my kids I don't love them." LOL I would do absolutely ANYTHING for anyone and anything under my guardianship. I have A LOT of love.
I absolutely relate to this! I'd like to think my mushiness and soft spot for all things familial/platonic make up for the lack of romantic attraction. Romantic love is not and should not be the end-all-be-all that overpowers any other kind.
Hi y’all guys gals and other palls, what if we took back the term “alphabet ppl” from the homophobic ppl, like, personally I think it sounds like a nice lil cult but like?a good one? Like one you’d see in adventure time or something? In general if it didn’t have homophobic intentions associated with it I’d think it was kind of fun? So anyway, remember y’all are valid and very snazzy😌
And that hateful ppl who are hateful to u for your sexuality/gender don’t get a cookie and are in possible danger of loosing knee cap privileges
We are the alphabet order
yeah alphabet people sounds cool like i wanna be called that if it doesn’t have homophobic intentions
Let's start something new: If we can associate every letter witha good word, then why not be the alphabet people? Take a homophobic term and turn it into OUR pride.
A: Amazing
B beautiful
C: Caring
D: Darling
E: Elegant
F: Funny
G: Gorgeous, Grand, great
H: Handsome, Happy
I: Intelligent
J: Jazzy
L: Loved
M: majestic, magical
N: Noble
O: optimistic
P: Pretty, perfect
Q: Queens
R: radiant
S: Superb, shiny
T: Talented, Terrific
U: underrated
V: vibrant
W: Wonderful
X: XOXOXO
Y: YASSS
Z: zealous
The last three were hard for me. Add more for any letter you want.
Thanks for checking in Im still a piece of garbage IM GONNA PAINT THE ALPHABET SOUP GAYYYYYY
@@neetrachakraborty7284 In P, it could be "Proud". And in Q, it could be "Queer". Lol
Me : i want to be immortal
People : But if youre immortal youll watch your lovers age and die
Me : w h a t l o v e r s a r e y o u t a l k i n g a b o u t
Your family and all of your pets will die. If you are aroace, just imagine everything you love platonically. Your going to have to watch all of it die and thats just sad.
I’m asexual and aromantic
*I am watching*
Would you be in a relationship but not a sexual one? I’m kinda confused
Citrus That’s Asexual, aromantic is That you don’t have the desire to have romantic love :>
The Gacha Fanatic thank you
Saamee
I am both too! Platonic friendships are my thing LOL
I'm grayro and ace,and I'm SO tired of hearing people saying is just phase.
A fander has been spotted
And this is why I'm back in the closet about my ace/aro ness since I originally came out as bi
But BOY WAS I WRONG
it kinda is- i believe everyone can identify as whatever they want and everything is valid but ASEXUAL and AROMANTIC aren't really sexualitys, asexual is just a preference on weather you like sex or not. Aromantic just means you have problems connecting with people
Name Last Name that’s not what it means. Aromantic doesnt mean you have trouble forming connections, it just mean that you are unable to form a romantic connection which is different from having trouble. People are born like this.
@@darkix3455 whatever- i will support it but i am never dating a asexual or aromantic person, ever.
I laughed at the
“Let me tell my kids I don’t love them”
Please I need to know if people use this in their argument and if you do I’m gonna lose it.best thing ever
I LOVED THIS ONE
I just found out someone like me is called aromantic ....
I feel more confident now , because I now know there are more people like me...
I thought I'm the only one in the world 😂
Fellow aro here! It's awesome to find more people like me :'')
It seems so foolish when you think about it, but nothing can compares to the lonliness right before you realize you aren't alone :']
Mee toooooooo!! I realized not too long ago
Mother: do you have a boyfriend?
Me: **laughs in Ace and Aro**
I’m not ace,
I’m not aro,
But I love you.
You are so valid.
Have a virtual hug.
I was in summer camp (this very bad one where the teachers were literally shit) and so there are 2 sisters (One of the sisters is lesbian) The straight one acted like she knew what the sexualities meant and started talking about sexualities to other students who literally only knew the sexuality , gay.
She then gets to the ace part (so far she is doing a okay desc. on the sexualities) " Asexuals are the ones that don't feel love at all." I wanted to speak up and gives my speech on how Asexuals can feel loves it's just that they don't have sexual attraction (I have a friend who is ace and she taught me ALOT) but since I was the kid who was left out and made fun of I couldn't dare to speak up.
I just looked at her like "bitch tf? no-"
"Do you enjoy breaking hearts"
I mean yes but that's just me lol
I love when people say “I can change your mind” when I tell them I’m an asexual and an aromatic because it just makes them look so stupid🤷♀️😂
XD
They sound so cringe. I never expireinced it but still
Hello comrades. Just want to let you know that you are valid in your identity. No matter what part of the community you are part of, or if you're still unsure about where you fit in, I will support and love you. If you need a new parent because your current ones are shit, I'm filling out adoption papers for you all. Just call me parent (or literally whatever you want).
i really think we should drop the argument of like. “aro people can still feel love guys1!1!!1” as a way of like. justifying our humanity?? love isnt what makes you human. in fact im pretty sure being human is what makes you human. anyway yeah shoutout to loveless aros ur all swag
I'm aromantic :D and I'm loving the asexual tiktoks! But I thought it was just aromantic tiktoks
Edit: Hello future me speaking! I have a question, if asexuals have space, what do aromantics have?
Archery!
If you talkin bout 'crushes' for aromantics, it's called a 'squish', the deep desire to make somebody your friend.
Why, the good will of Artemis, goddess of the hunt of course!
@Miss Cute Please, don't impose your asexuality on all aromantics.
As an Aromantic and an Asexual.... We own everything.
Aces, aros, and aroaces should meet up and form a nice "No attraction" group. That would be awesome.
I'm asexual/aromantic atm, I mostly identify as this because I havent found any attraction to anyone yet so (plus I dont really wanna be in a relationship)
As much as I do watching the LGBT+ compilations, I love you for shining light on the communities that don't get quite as much attention
I've just recently came out as aromantic, I've been out as bisexual for a while now
I still struggle with it though, as a part of me does want a partner for the physical intimacy and such, but its helped me understand myself and feel less disgust for myself for not experiencing romantic feelings.
I kinda would like to clear something up:
Being aromantic doesn't always mean that you don't want to be in a relationship and be forever singe. Aromantic is about little to romantic attraction, not necessarily desire. That would be being romantic-repulsed, bc there are a handful of aromantic ppl who are romantic-positive and want to get in a relationship, but are unfortunate enough to never/rarely have experienced romantic attraction (cupioromanticism)
exactly! people seem to forget that asexual and aromantic are spectrums
Love all these. It's amazing since I can't get Tik Tok♥️ Thank you
I feel so safe here. I can be out and be me💛🤍💜🖤
💜♥💚
If you don't feel safe being out at home, I am now your aro, pan, enby mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, cousin, cat, dog; whatever you need
I LOVE YOU MR.DEMON
I LOVE YOU TOO IRIS
Mr. Demon you have the transgender flag, I’m born a girl but identify are male I’m not out to my parents
Ah yes, friends with benefits. I have those, they drive me around town sometimes and give me cake when I'm sad.
Wait, is that not what that is?
Friendship is its own benefit! 😊
Can you do gender fluid!!!?? Please!!!
working on it
early, love your channel! this feels like a safe place for me to find myself
I wish you luck!
@@teacherdemon ty
"Oh so you're asexual. Like a plant?" I CAN'T EVEN-
I'm vary confused by people who get crushes on me in school, but I get what the concept of 'romance' is used in.😅
Congrats to aro bee, love ‘em!
I recently just found out I’m aro ace after years of identifying as bi! (I am bi/pan alterous tho) So thank you for this!
Same. It’s hard to tell when you feel the same about everyone
I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT. sorry for the all caps I’m just really excited. I’m gray aro homoromantic. I was looking back on all of my squishes and I realized that one of them was more than platonic. I’ve only had one crush before.
YT: recommends this video
* me * i have been summoned
I'm aromantic and I stg this is the best thing I've ever seen
I'm out here being a closted aroace in my catholic family and since I'm so adamant on not marrying someone or dating someone in the future, my grandmother assumes that I'll be a nun instead 😂.
“Who hurt you” *Literally no one. Like I never been in a relationship & I don’t want to.*
Could you do a drag artist one? I’m a drag artist myself who is pansexual and nonbinary and I don’t see allot of drag artist ones so it would mean allot to me if you did. Anyway I love your videos 💕
Sure!
I just love when literally anyone says im valid
as an asexual who only understands romantic attraction I didn't know much about aromantics or understand the sexuality very well and this helped me understand alot more than I previously did
that one sided glass window part was so funny, it really made me chuckle
YAY AMANDA! i love her
I do too!
I gasped so loud when I saw this in my recommended! Thanks!
I'm aro and i have received SO much hate and it makes me so upset and watching things like this makes me so happy to know that people are so accepting!
Thank you very much for providing the well required aro content.
I subbed to your channel when I saw one of these types vids bc I love how you support the LGBTA+ community
Friendly reminder that aromantic ppl can have romantic relationships and enjoy them!, as well as qprs, and they are just as valid as any aromantic person who does not desire either ! (Im saying this as a romance-positive aro myself)
One of my friend's is aro and ace, and I'm a lesbein, and I recently moved to a hecka homophobic area, but I'm glad she's somewhere where lgbtqia+ is widely accepted. Her family isn't the most supportive to the community, so she hasn't come out, but I'm glad she has good loving people around her at school
YES! This is my compilation!
The look on people's faces when I say that I'm so happy being single, that I don't wanna waste my time on a relationship and everything.
I do feel sexual attraction in general but I don't understand the concept of romantic love at all lol
The last one made my day!!!
Petition for tinder but only for friends.
A profile would be like :
Alex, 24, non-binary.
I require quite a lot of attention and hugs. I mean A LOT of hugs.
Not afraid to kiss the homies goodnight!
Don't be afraid to rant to me or cry on my shoulder!
I will probably draw you.
I don't care if you are part of LGBT.
I just want a friend goddammit
Omg yes, I would love to have a close friend with whom I could share my home and life, go to trips, watch films, have adventures, hug a lot, just not be romantically in love, it's not for me. I think I would write to you on tinder but only for friends☺️
Omg pls platonically marry me
I love the aromantic community like aromantic are so cool i just came out as a aromantic and my my family accepted me
the only form of attraction i've noticed i feel is the ✨ a e s t h e t i c ✨ kind. like, i think people are so beautiful that it makes me cry sometimes. they leave me breathless. but i've no particular desire to like, do anything with that, other than getting to know them better and being closer as friends.
and sex is nice, but its not like i get distressed without it lmao. i really dont get allos sometimes smh.
Thats called...visual attraction i think. Theres romantic, sexual, sensual, platonic, and like visual and smth. Theres prolly more but those are what i knkw of
Plant dad is an entire mood and I platonically love him.
Idk if it’s just a me thing or if it shows even more that I’m aro and ace is that I love love and I like seeing people in healthy relationships happy it genuinely makes me smile in my real life and in books
5:21
OMG, THAT'S SO CUTEEE, AAAAAA-
Im aromantic i feel the same pain at the 1st tik tok
me being aro and ace and agender: TRIPLE AAA BATTERY LESGO
Me as a person from Ohio when they say McDonalds at 2:04: What kinda place is that? It is a dump! It has horrible food (To me). I prefer Wendy's, the only TRUE fast food place for me. [Fun fact: Wendy's originated in Ohio in 1969 in November.]
I am also from Ohio and I agree Wendy's is WAY better than McDonald's.
@@teacherdemon Steak and Shake is great too! (If you think of it as fast food.)
I've actually never had Steakand Shake. There isn't one around where I live.
@@teacherdemon Oh well. It is great! Their trademark (Foods of importance) are Milkshakes and Steakburgers! Exactly what you think it is. They have alot of sides and stuff, but I don't look at them since I get them with my grandmother after doctors appointments or a orthodontist one (Doctor who straightens your teeth with braces and bands.) and I forget my glasses.
They sound good! I'll definitely have to try to find one near me.
Thank you. I was seeking this validation in a moment of insecurity, and I was not let down. All praise
I found you today and subscribed immediately
Awe thank you!
Im so happy 😊 Xd
And could you make another non binary?
There's this one tic toc im trying to find and i just can't seem to find it.
Its like "if lgbt+ had a picnic" I cant find it and its my favorite! Maybe you know what im talking about. But if you can find it can you put it in a compilation?
Sure!! That's one of my favorites!
Ah! Yay! I'm just re watching this Xd
Thank you for this video, these kinds of videos always make me feel valid :)
(Aro Ace here)
I am here!
Mx. Demon! You’re back?! Yay!!
this video warms my heart and i feel valid and as an aromantic i feel vv happy and warm in my soul and even tho i've seen some of these already this still makes me happy and i have hope for once :> (that was cliche im sorry lol)
I am aro and I absolutely love valentines day. Trust me I used to hate it for how it's commercialized, but after coming out, it just gave a new purpose, which is to show love and appreciation for my family and friends. So many people focus on the romantic couple aspect of valentines that they forget that giving presents to friends and family exists. I even had a few looks from people when I offered chocolate to my friends and they ask me "are you sure you're not a couple" and I am just like " Yes I am sure, I just love my friends and I wanna show them all equally how I appreciate them"
Literally nobody talks about aroflux.. I feel like we're forgotten.. :\
(I'm aroflux, the romantic orientation that fluctuates but stays on the aromantic spectrum)
As an aroace person, I see being aro and/or ace like losing one of your senses. You might not have one thing, but everything else is much stronger than a regular persons. For me that goes as, while I don’t feel romantic or sexual attraction, my love and care for my friends is so incredibly strong many people don’t understand it.
I like to explain it with ice cream. Being ace or aro is just like not liking ice cream. “Oh it’s so sad, they will never have ice cream” no it isn’t sad,
Ya know why?
BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT ICE CREAM!!!!!!!
"Bi, trans, and aro/ace people receive the most hate"
Me vibrating with stress bc im biromantic trans and asexual
waddup 👀
i think I might be demiromantic
I AM LEARNING SO MUCH THROUGH THESE COMPILATIONS THANK YOU SOOOOO MUUUUUCH !!! 💖😭💖
Im Ace and Aro, when ppl say "i think you hate romantic stuff" Well.....
That's a YESN'T to me (i do sometimes hate Romantic stuff pls don't be mad it's my opinion :'))
You know I never see any Bigender tiktok compilations but I really liked this video man!
To any person with a "certified" LGBT membership... If you don't want me then fine I'll leave. It's just that aces and aros need representation and awareness.
Also, I was an ally long before I realized that I'm also an ace... So.
2:14… I’m all of those… (to be specific I’m Omni oriented aro/ace FtM)
Why aromantics are always represented like people who hate relationships? What about others who want a relationship, but can’t fall in love and feel attraction to others.. it feels like a loophole with no end.
P.s.: i am both aro and ace. And I want to have sex and a relationship, but I am not attracted to people in a sexual and romantic way. It is so depressive
SO RELATABLE!! Im aromantic and asexual, and people think “OH WELL IM STUPID ENOUGH TO THIK YOU DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS OMG SO HEARTLESS” which isn’t the case, I like my friends, and I care about them, I just don’t feel any attraction to them TYSM
9:15 Nah, not "physical" attraction, sexual attraction. Very important distinction since aesthetic attraction can be attraction to physical things, even people, just not in a sexual way.
Why do people think it's weird that ace/aros don't want relationships at all? Like I promise I have a heart...
I love the beautiful person at 7:07, they speak the absolute TRUTH
Only very few people know I'm aro. I prefer not to make it public because I know a lot of people would not understand and male false assumptions. When someone tells me "May God give you a loving husband one day 🥰" I just nod and smile. It's easier than having to explain I'm aromantic. 😂
I may be pansexual and panromantic but imma support y'all aros till the end. But I want you to know that if any of y'all are experiencing hatred from your parents I'm adopting you. No matter what your gender, sexual or romantic identity is.
ty ^_^
The ending music is so ominous 😆
Love it though, and love the videos!
5:30
6:56
Random timestamps!-
Anyway, as an nonbinary aroace, these are beautiful
I'm aromantic,and I tought I was the only one who knew what it was.It feels good to have some people who actually know the definition of it and doesn't mix it with asexual.
Want to say one thing to any people who think that being aromantic shouldn't have its own title(because people have said this to me before):
If you were a straight man, or a lesbian woman, would you appreciate people saying you are attracted to men?
If you were a gay man, or a straight woman, would you appreciate people saying that you are attracted to women?
What would you do in this situation? Explain to them how you identify.
If there is no aro/ace how are we supposed to identify?
(female in this situtaion) I am not straight. I am not attracted to men.
(female in this situtaion)I am not lesbian. I am not attracted to women.
See how that works?
Everyone needs to be represented.
(no one's gonna see this lol)
I see it!
1:07 my comment is here to remind loveless aros, aplatonic folks, and any other people who don’t necessarily experience love that you are AMAZING and that love is not necessary for survival yall r fabulous just the way u are that is all ty and gn
OH GOD IS THIS A DREAM?
I DON'T THINK SO
Mr. Demon YOUR SURE!?
ALSO WHY ARE WE SHOUTING 😂
YES I'M SURE AND IDK 😹😹
Mr. Demon 😂😎
this is a wholesome thread :D
