Why is it so hard for people to respect that all I want is friendship
Just had to cut off a friend for trying to manipulate me and make me feel bad for wanting to be purely platonic. I feel like whenever I tell them "I'm aromantic" and that "I don't have romantic feelings" they misunderstand that somehow. Like, they're somehow interpreting that to mean I'm not guna show up with a bouquet of 100 roses Hallmark style, no matter how hard I try to explain that I'm literally romance repulsed. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GRASP.
End rant, just wanted to vent somewhere I thought others might understand.
