  • There’s quite a few different forms of aromantic and asexual identities. All of them have a lack of sexual or romantic desire on some level. Cupioromantic is someone who desires a romantic relationship but doesn’t experience romantic feelings. A demiromantic only experiences romantic attraction after forming an emotional bond.

    Trying to define “romantic feelings” is kind of difficult, because it differs for everyone. I would probably say you have an aversion to sexual intimacy, and that can include deep kissing.

    Here’s list I stole off the internet of types of love. It might help you narrow down your feelings

    7 Types of Love

    • Friendship: Intimacy without passion or commitment

    • Infatuation: Passion without intimacy or commitment

    • Empty love: Commitment without passion or intimacy

    • Romantic love: Passion and intimacy without commitment

    • Companionate love: Intimacy and commitment without passion/sexual desire; this could also be called “platonic” love

    • Fatuous love: Commitment and passion without intimacy

    • Consummate love: Commitment, passion, and intimacy




  • I make significantly less at 100% rating than I would if I had been able to stay in my career since I was medically separated or if I was able to do the same thing as a civilian (easily over 6 figures). It’s still much more than poverty level, but the $46k I’ll get this year just can not compete with what I could have had.

    I know that much of the value in my benefits is free medical though, and that adds up fast when you suddenly have pronounced weakness in half your body and doctors can’t figure out why









  • My therapist told me that a diagnosis of a mental health disorder means you have a disability*. So if they choose not to hire you because of your ASPD diagnosis, in the US at least, that’s discrimination against a protected class. I have AvPD, and that was a concern for me too

    *(although many disorders don’t always earn the label “disability” when a person is seeking benefits)
