"Often, I am upset that I cannot fall in love, but I guess
this avoids the stress of falling out of it"

Being allo seems genuinely stressful. Like I'll be scrolling through Instagram or something and see a post about some song someone wrote and they'll open it with like "Have you ever had a breakup so bad that you couldn't leave your house for a week? This song is for you" or some crap and they always seem genuinely heartbroken.
Sometimes I wish I was allo because so much of society revolves around these feelings that, as an aroace person, I just don't understand. But then I see how difficult romantic relationships are and see how upset people get when things don't work out and I almost feel relieved. Because, sure. It really hurts when you fall out with a friend. I'd argue it can hurt just as much as a partner. But there's a different emotion there with a partner and I feel like people generally also put a lot of trust in their partners so it can be really distressing for them with things fall through.
I've also seen people fuck up their own lives trying to impress someone they like, both in media (ex : Cassie in Euphoria) and real life. It just seems like a lot.
