Yeah that sucks. I’ve realized that I’m overall quite privileged with my surroundings. I had expected some people to be annoying about it, but it all went smoothly. Sadly that’s not the normal way that coming out as ace or aro will go, mos people will be met with some people who don’t understand it or who actively hate it.
I try to be quite outwardly aro/ace and queer in order to take the bullet for others (as much as I can handle ofc).
