Two rants in one day? How fucked up am I?

So, I tell my parents that I identify as aroace (aromantic asexual), which kinda boils down to not interested or having a desire to be in a romantic relationship or to engage in the act of sex. My dad is neutral. My mom, well... Apparently I don't know enough about me or the world to decide what my sexual orientation is, because I'm an introvert with bad social anxiety and I don't like being around other people. But I've looked back and thought about my previous interactions with my peers, and there is nothing there. I don't think of people as attractive or anything, they're just people.

My older sister (special needs) has a boyfriend, and he's a good guy. My sister, not so much. She's more interested in playing games or watching videos than talking to him when he calls, which is not good for his mental health if he questions whether or not my sister loves him.

My younger brothers, one is in a relationship with a girl (she's good, knew her from a group we were in previously), he loves her, delivers treats from time to time (and being socially distant), and he gets her gifts on occasion and likes hanging out with her (even if she studies more than he does because she's an overachiever and he's a gamer).

My other brother, he has identified as gay. He has a "boyfriend" that a friend of his introduced him to. They haven't met face to face, and communicate through text or whatever social media he has. And guess what? My parents accept him as gay! But me? Nooooooo, I don't know enough about what I like or don't like in people. I'll change my mind when I'm older.

Fûcking newsflash! I told you I was ace roughly four years ago! Now I'm saying that I'm aroace! I use it not as a label, but as a mark of identification that I'm not alone! That I'm not weird! That it is ok to not be attracted to people or to not want to be IN a romantic relationship!

Maybe I will change my mind when it is fully developed in a few years, but today? In this moment? I'm aroace, and I'm valid!

(I did my research, it was for a project about positive messages, so I can comfortably say that I am aroace. Fight me)
