r/Abrosexual

I know it dabbles in the aroace spectrum since it's fluid but I wonder if it counts in the aro ace spectrum or if it doesn't really sense it's connected to other sexualities too being so fluid. Personally I'm just really curious and interested in this discussion.

So I'm not really sure what I'm doing here, I don't usually use reddit but this is the only place I can think of to vent.

So I (27 trans guy) found the abro label a few months ago and yup that's me alright. I always felt confused on my sexuality and I still am sometimes in terms of how I'm feeling some days, but this label brings me comfort in those times. Previously if my sexuality shifted I would end a relationship thinking it was better for them, but now I know I have the words to describe my feelings if I date someone in future.

I hadn't told anyone about this until yesterday. I wanted time to figure things out at first, but then seeing hate and mockery online had me feeling ad nervous as when I came out as trans, but yesterday the opportunity just landed in my lap and so I took it.

Yesterday one of my closest friends (33f) and I were shopping in the city, getting things ready for the local pride event next month, so I figured getting an abro flag would be a good way to start that conversation. She is cishet but has always been a great ally, correcting people with my pronouns for example, so I figured she wouldn't know what abro is but would overall be kind and accepting

It didn't go horrible and we're still good friends, but I'm not sure how I feel about her reaction. She made jokes about how I just can't decide repeatedly and she didn't seem to take it seriously. I felt really dismissed but I figured it was her way of showing she doesn't care. Today I still don't feel great at it and it's only increased my worries about coming out to anyone else, which sucks because despite the nerves I was looking forward to spending pride with a flag that actually felt right to me and now I'm not sure if I should just leave it home on the day

Not sure if I just wanted to vent or if I want advice, either way thank you for listening this far.

Ever since I was 10 I've started exploring my sexual orientation. The first label I used was lesbian because I had a crush on my bff back in 5th grade (lost feelings for her though and idk if it's normal), but I remember simping (?) over male characters and changed to bisexual (I put "(?)" because I'm not sure if it was actual simping), then I switched with lesbian again since I felt attraction to women only and bisexual again for some reason.

On September 2021 I started middle school and I went with the pansexual label, however I switched to lesbian AGAIN and then back to bisexual 🫠 bro what was I doing 💔 I did hear about the abrosexual label on November of the same year but didn't think much of it.

When I thought I was a trans guy at 11 and a half to 12 years old (I was exploring my gender so that's different) I was attracted to men, labeling myself as gay, and months later I switched to aroace.

On June or July 2023 I went back to the lesbian label and haven't changed much since then — only thing that was added was me labeling myself as asexual last year and this year I used a few aromantic labels (and I'm using one right one [demiromantic]).

I've been remembering these experiences I had since I was at the beginning of puberty and now I've been questioning for a few months if I'm abrosexual 🥹 I'm 15 and a half btw, and also a demigirlflux. I'm comfortable with my gender identity but I'm not fully sure with my sexuality rn lmao 😭

I like when I feel myself being fluid
