Aroish



Aroish, also known as aro-ish, is a term for anyone who is aromantic or on the aromantic spectrum, but only partially identifies with the aromantic label. For example, someone who is aromantic and cupioromantic may only partially identify with being aromantic despite their aromanticism due to the fact that they desire a romantic relationship. Another example could be an aromantic person who struggles with internalized arophobia, and is uncomfortable with identifying as aromantic. The sexual counterpart of this term is aceish.
