I think that is exactly the case here. People just can’t comprehend how a life other than their own would look like.
Oh, I can.
For years I had severe clinical depression and it rendered me incapable of feeling almost anything towards my SO, friends and relatives.
It was… I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.
Now medication at last is working and it’s like chalk and cheese.
That’s… not the same as being aro at all. It doesn’t mean you feel nothing towards anyone. Just that you’re not interested in romantic relationships at all.

What is left, when you subtract sexual and romantic aspects?
