I always leave the door open for questioning and uncertainty here, and so does the majority of the aro and ace oriented positivity I see. And there’s good reason for that – not because it’s somehow any worse to make a mistake with aspec labels as opposed to any other ones, but because absolutely everybody deserves an environment where they can change their label freely. That way, nobody feels pressured to stick with anything that feels wrong for them.

But I also want to state that you are under no obligation to continually question yourself or agonize over it – you’re allowed to be sure that you’re aro or ace. You don’t have to hedge all the time. You don’t have to keep one foot out the door in perpetuity, just in case some random, unforseen circumstance changes things.
