Can you elaborate? :( Isn't falling in love one of the few good things in life we can experience really? Don't you have the desire to feel that pull to someone and have it returned? I am trying to understand the perspective.
And what do you mean romantic love isn't all that people make it out to be? I'm quite young still- only 19 so I have not experience it yet but I don't know how or when or if I even want it cuz it looks awesome but more people say what you said and I wonder why and it worries me :'(
anon, im trying to give u a pass bc ur young but let me tell u that coming to an aromantic's inbox with "isnt falling in love one of the few good things in life?" is just....... no
i dont have any desire whatsoever for a romantic relationship. all the emotional/physical needs i have can easily be fulfilled by my friends (hand holding, cuddles, even kissing).
platonic love can be just as intense, if not more, than romantic love. im not lacking love - im full of it. for my friends, my family, my dogs, bts...
so dont let society tell u romantic love is something u need to be complete, bc thats simply not true.
