I could always tell there was something different about my 'crushes', but I just brushed it off, because I was used to being different in pretty much every way. I was kind of ignored, after elementary school(in which I was bullied, so being mostly ignored was a welcome change), and the few friends I had weren't really that into romance(I strongly suspect one of them is aroace, the other ones I kind of suspect, but it was just something we didn't talk about it, while she was actively not interested). I also didn't really understand exactly what romance and romantic attraction were, or so I've realized(not that I really understand them now, but I realize I don't understand them).
