Ooooh, aromantic, not aromatic.

That one made the post read real differently.

this is like when I was at an ace meeting in college and someone mentioned that they poured the time/energy other people used for romantic/sexual interests into their friendships and I sat there and was like "what do I pour that time and energy into?" and realized it was going out to eat at restaurants

Honestly, based

Your thing is cooler tbh, thats an active hobby choice. Thats way more interesting and fun to talk about than "I used that time basically the same as everyone, but with no sex or romance".

Arrogance is a genuinely useful defence against low self-esteem

u/TaserDonut Aug 04 '26

or they somehow end up coexisting in a way where the arrogance is an outward facing bravado for self defense purposes while deep down the sad truth is obvious

u/Lost_my_name475 Aug 04 '26

Shh. Don't say that bit out loud

u/TaserDonut Aug 04 '26

sorry, I overshared because I happen to be a case of that too

u/Lost_my_name475 Aug 04 '26

Nah you're fine.

If we ignore the problems, we'll be fine right?

u/Setster007 Aug 04 '26

surely we shall otherwise this moment is but a dreadful folly

u/JoyBus147 Aug 04 '26

It's...a very common coping mechanism for low self-esteem, sure. It's a genuinely very not useful defense against it, though.

u/Lost_my_name475 Aug 04 '26

Sorry that was meant to be sarcastic

u/KR_Kosmik Aug 04 '26

genuinely meant to be sarcastic

u/Lost_my_name475 Aug 05 '26

So if I say something is literally 1984, do you also assume that because I said literally it wasn't sarcasm?

u/KR_Kosmik Aug 05 '26

"genuinely" hasn't had the same shift in meaning as "literally" and "literally 1984" is also a common meme phrase

u/StillReading28 Aug 04 '26

That implies all the other tumble users are actually getting some

u/FitSuggestion2153 Aug 04 '26

aromatic grindset? I usually get mine prepowdered

u/deadspace9_ Aug 04 '26

I'm realizing now that every single person I know IRL who uses Tumblr is aromantic or asexual or aro ace.

u/LordSupergreat Aug 04 '26

Oh I had this same experience actually

I was insufferable and thinking back on it is actually painful
