Ah yes, questioning if I’m still aromantic while out and about in public. Fan-fucking-tastic!

Why the hell can’t this happen at home?

    It’s very common for trans people to realize they weren’t aro/ace, they were just repressing that part of themselves because they were uncomfortable with the idea of being in a relationship as their AGAB.

    The accursed Prime Directive prevents us from pointing these things out til you realize them yourself.

    Cause you already mulled over all your self-directed rumination, and require fresh external stimuli to run thru the mill

    Condolences, it happens.

      Well, yes, and I understand how that works.

      But I’d really prefer if that’d happen at night when I’m going to sleep you know? Not while I’m out in public.

        yea

        I figure I subconciously pick at my mental health for issues i otherwise consider settled as maladaptive stimming for the stress of adrenaline release when im locked in a social situation and cant self-soothe

    When the enlightened people talk about how inspiration can come from anywhere, they didn’t mention the part about the timing.
