I’m a lithromantic asexual, meaning that I get crushes, but I don’t want them reciprocated. Overall, I can’t understand love and romance. Even when I had crushes, I never wanted to date them, but I’m also not distressed about that. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.
I’ve never heard of this kind of orientation, thank you. I’m trying to learn more because I find it hard to define myself ahah I think I’m gray but not sure
Ah. Being different is not a bad thing. And just because you don't conform to a standard and normalized situation doesn't mean you're not normal. People are just used to putting romantic connotation to every little shot that the meaning of love is reduced to that, love is all formation, it doesn't need to conform into something just to consider it as "love". Your love for your family and friend is just like that and it's beautiful too.
Just because you are against the wave doesn't mean you're going to a wrong direction! You're just flowing to a different one. (づ￣ ³￣)づ

This story hit so deep, recently I found myself struggling with the possibility of being asexual too. I relate a lot with Woo Hyung thoughts about how romantic love seems so foreign and distant and yet (maybe because of the pressure from society) we crave that feeling that everyone else is feeling. Everyone seems so crazy about that love, it seems so powerful and beautiful and yet we can’t relate. I’ve never felt the feeling of being head over heels about someone.
I still feel love for my friends and family and that fills me, but sometimes I think I’m lacking something beautiful that others have and it makes me sad…
Any asexual/aromantic people that have some advice? Ahahah
Sorry for the long rant <3
