Am I aroace if I've never felt anything towards a real person?

I've dated someone before (online), but I later found out that it was more of a fixation (causing me to break up with him and just stay friends). All that I know is that I've never gotten this whole, "love" feeling, like a crush or whatever my whole life and have depended on close bonds and friendships. I've never felt sexual attraction towards anyone either. Just overall I've never wanted a relationship, yeah, the thought of it is nice but I don't care about it and can live peacefully without worrying that I'll be single forever unlike some people 💀.

However this doesn't apply to like, fictional characters or whatever, which clarifes that i am in fact straight. Even with them it's more of a strong fixation, but I do think of them in ways that I wouldn't even think of an actual real person. So I'm confused as to what exactly this means.

I'm getting fictoromantic/sexual vibes. Which just means liking fictional characters exclusively ig. I just found it on the wiki tho and didn't read too far past the definition.

Same.

 

So fictoromantic means you feel romantic attraction towards fictional characters only, or that your romanticity is influenced somehow by them.
