Welcome to !aromantic,

Since there wasn't an aromantic community here I created one. As Lemmy has a small userbase it seems reasonable to not split up different aro content in different communities (i.e. one for memes and another one) so all aro content is welcome here. Have fun.

I've been looking around, and I think I may be greyromantic (unless it's just another result of abroromanticism).

Anyway, can a few of you tell me about your own experiences? I want to be sure.

Hey folks, I hope you're having a lovely day. I've been recently thinking about the idea of being aromantic by choice. It may sound weird, and some people may even disagree with it. However, I genuinely believe that it's pretty legit and helpful.

I consider myself aromantic. While it hasn't always been this way, I was always kind of leaning toward it. Several months ago, I was chatting with a friend about relationships (not only romantic) and, after some background thinking, concluded to be aromantic, and I'm happy about it since it helps me focus on stuff that I personally find more important. Also, it turns out to help develop better platonic relationships.

I'm also thinking about making a video on this topic once my tripod arrives (which is in a few days already!), making it even more interesting to discuss :).

I'd be glad to hear what you think about the idea. And maybe some other folks are this way?

Peace <3

As many of us start being able to engage in more in-person activities safely, this month focuses on the kinds of and ways that we enjoy leisure activities, and how being aspec might impact those activities. This can be anything from the entertainment we consume, to the people we spend free time with, to the decisions on when to go out vs. stay in, to the activities one might do alone that are expected to be done with a partner of some kind.

This month’s chat will take place from Saturday, May 29 to Sunday, May 30, from 10am Saturday through 1:00 am Sunday, then 10:00 am – 11:59 PM Sunday Eastern Daylight Time. (That’s 2 PM GMT Saturday through 5 AM GMT Sunday, then re-opening Sunday at 2 PM again until 4 AM GMT.) Per usual we will have 2 hour voice chats both days, the first starting at at 11 AM Eastern (3 PM GMT) and the second at 4 PM Eastern (8 PM GMT).
