Call for participants (aromantic and / or asexual)!
Hi! My name is Rajshree, I identify as aromantic and asexual. My qualifications is BA in triple majors and currently pursuing MSc in Neuropsychology from CHRIST (Deemed to be University), India. I am doing a research study on 'Aro'se and Aced it, but felt nothing: Role of Negative Events on Sub Clinical Alexithymia, Loneliness and Identity on Aro-Ace individuals. The aim is to study how negative events impact loneliness, identity, and sub-clinical alexithymia (inability to express emotions) in aromantic-asexual spectrum individuals from India.
Growing up, i found it hard to explain my emotions to others and especially after I came out, I found it a bit hard to tell to others about sexuality to which I was given negative comments that made me question at times.
As a neuropsychology student, I found a slight dearth in research papers which focused on aromantic-asexual individuals. There are research papers, but there are not soley focused on how aro-ace spectrum individuals see emotions, how their identity is constructed and how they feel lonely because of the perception that they do not understand love and that they are averse to it.
Hence, I wanted to do this research study. I need around 60 individuals who are willing to participate in my study. If you wish to participate, I assure you that your details will stay anonymous, but it will truly help in my study. My study includes quantitative where there will three questionnaires and based on the performance, there will be a small interview which is the qualitative aspect.
Criteria
- From India
- Between the ages of 18 to 35
- Identifies as aromantic, asexual or aroace (both)
I am attaching the link to my google form below in which I have mentioned every single detail about my study. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHrA_DOa1y7X8lYady2IirES-FD_hmCprCREP5rh_fRTHKWg/viewform?usp=sharing
Please share to those who are willing to participate! Thank you :-)

Why do people have to make “your mom” jokes weirder than they are
So I low key think sex is kinda weird and gross, but at the same time, that's what makes it funny. So you know that half of the sentences that come out of my mouth contain the words "your mom". But I have one friend that for some reason just cannot seem to help but make it weird, particularly because I'm a girl. She always says just like "With what, a stamp on?" And shit like that and I'm like girl. Why are you making this GENUINELY STRANGE. Like god forbid a woman have hobbies. Just let me do it what I love. ~~and what I love to do is your mom~~

Why are so excluded in the LGBTQIA+ world
It’s my towns Pride parade today and I’m very excited and it just seems to have fallen on the same day as IDAHOBIT and it’s put me back into my “really happy that these groups are getting the time and support they deserve, but why does it never include us” sadness. Like I’m not saying we need everything or that the others don’t matter (because they absolutely do) but it just seems like another situation of “people don’t even realise that we’re a marginalised community that need support”. idk i guess it just makes me sad 🥲 i’m feeling my feelings on my Pride day when I wasn’t expecting it to be a happy day

I need to rant abt something…
I hate it when neck kisses are precieved as sexual..like, PLS LET ME ENJOY NECK KISSES IN PEACE.
Like i can see a show where a person is giving cute Small neck kisses to someone in a sensual cute way. But ppl HAVE TO MAKE IT SEEM SEXUAL…THEY HAVE TO….
Like, ik why, apparently its bc of nerves and all which makes it apparently sexually arousing.
But i have never precieved it that way. I mean, i can imagine it feeling a bit ticklish, but never sexually arousing.
Yet i hate..hate..HATE, when its ONLY precieved as sexual
Im not saying ppl shouldn’t find it sexually arousing, which idc if you do or if you find it sexual. Im not talking abt ppl who find it sexual in general. Im talking abt ppl who makes a whole rule abt how it ‘’ is ‘’ sexual and sexual only….
And if there is someone who says that neck kisses are sexual and sexual only..I WILL RIP THE DIRT OUT OF THE GRASS WITH ANGER.
Like, cmon man, there are some ppl who like neck kisses that arent sexual. NOT EVERY NECK KISSES ARE SEXUAL.
LET ME ENJOY MY NECK KISSES IN PEACE PLSSSSS.
Anyways here is my rant Hope you like it:)
