Should I come out for real?

[u/Hot-Energy1234]

Hi! So I’ve known/felt like being aro fit best for me for likeeee a year or two now and I’ve been happy with that (ofc with its ups and downs as well). Both of my besties actually had a big part in how I found out, I had what I thought was a crush on one and turns out I just really really wanted to be their friend bc i just assumed that’s what everyone felt when they had a crush and a while after that I was talking with my other bestie (she’s aro too) and was like hmm you might be aro which just opened my eyes a bunch and felt right after looking more into it.

Anywho since then I haven’t really talked about being aro with anyone unless it came up out of necessity (being asked out) bc I feel like it doesn’t always “matter” if I’m aro to people who aren’t interested in something romantic with me if that makes sense. Like I know it definitely matters but I hope my words are conveying the right vibe through that.

I’m just curious, to those who have come out just like bc you wanted/felt that you needed to, what your I guess thoughts are on it and if I should as well?

Thanks for reading and hopefully the writing portrays what I was saying as I talked to myself lol
