I get that for sure, ive been shipped with a lot of friends and it makes me uncomfortable, I for sure understand. Its been happening for years, and even my family does it, it sucks!!
I was shipped with a friend. I wasn’t out as Aroace yet, because I didn’t know aroace existed. But it always made me uncomfortable. Have you tried pulling them to the side and telling them that when they ship you abd your friend, that it really hurts you and makes you feel invalidated as an aroace person? I’m sure if they realize how much you are hurt, they’ll stop
