P4R4D0X Posted February 10 Posted February 10 If you're wondering why I, an anattractional person, out of all people, made this topic, its because in my opinion, most allos need to learn that there are so many more types of attraction than just romantic and s3xual. Quote

smac n cheese Posted March 6 Posted March 6 does anyone here look at their friends and just get an intense burst of love for them? idk if it's just me, but especially because I have familial and friend trauma, I find the fact that these people actually, genuinely, care about me and don't want to hurt me so amazing that I almost burst into tears. <3 my friends 1 1 Quote
smac n cheese Posted March 9 Posted March 9 my irl friends just saved my life and I think I'll explode if I love them more lol Quote
Guest Posted September 9 Posted September 9 And then there’s parasocial aka the one-sided connection you have to fictional characters/celebs They’ll never be able to reciprocate to you, but they’re meaningful to you other than platonic, but they could be romantic or sexual fantasies for some people. Maybe you admire the way they are as a person, or maybe you admire their skillful professionalism in whatever abilities they’re known for. Parasocial ≠ obsession Obsession is only if you’re unhealthily occupied with them to the point you significantly neglect real life Quote
lazlohollyfeld1728 Posted September 21 Posted September 21 attractions i've experienced: platonic- friend attraction romantic- warm, happy feeling that i just kinda *knew* was romantic queerplatonic/alterous- more vague attraction that can borrow or overlap with platonic and romantic, or present as the same, but is it's own thing intellectual- honestly the simplest way i can put this is liking how someone thinks. got a favorite philosopher? heard someone say something you really agree with? intellectual attraction aesthetic- what it sounds like, you like the look or idea of something. sensual- touch, but not explicitly sexual. just cuddling, handholding, kissing, etc. spiritual/soulmate- feeling a deep connection in your soul, like you can feel the other person's soul. peaceful, quiet, safe. auditory attraction- liking sound. there are lots of others and all attractions are individualised, they can also overlap sometimes. hope this helps people (: /info /imo /lh 1 Quote
