There are aromantics who used to think that everyone else was pretending to have crushes, that people are making it up. There are aromantics who still can’t quite believe that other people really feel romantic attraction.

There are aromantics who accept that they don’t feel romantic attraction, while others do, and that it just is that way.

There are aromantics who have felt attracted to people and thought at the time that was romantic attraction, but in hindsight it wasn’t, or they’re not really sure.

There are aromantics who have felt romantic attraction before, but don’t now.

There are aromantics who desperately want to feel romantic attraction, who want to be happy like everyone else. There are aromantics who feel broken, no matter what.

There are aromantics who are indifferent to what everyone feels as romantic attraction. There are aromantics who resent how ever-present romance is in our lives, there are some who cringe at it, some who hate every aspect and thought of it. 

Aromantic means not experiencing romantic attraction. It can affect your life and experiences in different ways and to different extents.
