Author Topic: having trouble coming out as aloveual  (Read 1883 times)

I've thought about this for a long time now and I've had no real (loveual) interest in girls, guys, or any kind of love. It feels so forced and boring to me and has for a while. I've experimented a lot both ways and I can honestly say I've got no interest. I'm just afraid to tell anybody because it'll be really rough on my parents especially and I don't want to hurt them. I'm also afraid of the future and of being alone because I do have interests in every aspect of relationships except the loveual ones,  and I don't know how I'll manage that. This is a rough time, and I'd like to ask, is anyone here legitimately aloveual as well and how do you guys cope?

oh you wont be coming anywhere

I think it's just that you haven't met the right boy/girl yet

Why do you need to tell your parents?

it isn't that I have a disinterest in relationships. I think companionship is essential. I just haven't found any joy in loveuality either way, only misery

Why do you need to tell your parents?
I don't want them to be surprised if they find out any other way. It'd be better if I just told them.

I don't see how being aloveual is a thing that takes people by surprise. You literally just don't get romantically involved with anyone and one day your parents ask you why you haven't yet and you just say, "I'm not really that interested."

I understand with other loveualities there is a purpose to telling your parents so they don't get caught off-guard of whatever, but there is really no purpose if you are aloveual because it isn't like you are going to bring someone home that they don't expect or something.

I do have an interest in relationships, however that stops at loveuality. I guess it's just weird because I still don't know how to cope with being so different.

I wouldn't classify myself as aloveual but my feelings are pretty much the exact same. I have never had an interest in loveual relationships, but I do hold friendship as a high value.

Do you at least forget yourself?

Wait, isn't this rockslide.
The guy with all the mental illnesses?

Also, how the hell do you 'come out' as aloveual?

ive already told you this has been me.
And I have to tell somebody about it at some point so that's how.

Do you?
Do you actually need to go and make a point of saying "Mom, dad... I don't really want to have love right now."



I'm not saying aloveuality isn't a thing, but since it doesn't really seem to have any baring on one's life it seems very special snowflake to make a big deal about it.

im pretty sure its actually worse when your parents ask you why you dont have a girlfriend and youre straight

I still want my question answered.

Do you forget yourself?
