Story #2483

When I came out I had just realised that morning when I walked into school that I was Aromantic (and Asexual, though more specifically aro). I’d known about the term for a couple years and had identified as pansexual for a bit longer and had only then just realised, no build up to it but a sudden realisation. My coming out story has more to do with coming out and realising it myself and that it felt like a comfortable jacket that I had been missing. My friends were all understanding and it wasn’t as much of a big deal. With my parents I more or less haven’t used the term and more statements referring to the fact I don’t experience or like sexual or romantic attraction. I tried telling my Mum but she didn’t understand entirely, so it’s easier to do it in a more vague way.
