I’m asexual and I think borderline aromantic. Romantic and especially sexual relationships never particularly appealed to me, and the idea of dedication to one specific person always seemed to me like a level of sacrifice I wasn’t comfortable with. I’ve always been very frustrated by a world that regularly enforces the idea that being in a relationship is inherently the goal one has to strive for in life.

I love this sub’s focus on living happily with oneself through a philosophical and accepting perspective. I just wonder if it would be okay for me to join the community? I recognize that lacking desires for sex and romance may be different from what is traditional here, but there are a lot of things here I very strongly connect to. Either way is totally fine by the way!
