my aplatonic experience is that i only feel one type of love. platonic, familial, queerplatonic, etc; all of that is under One All-Purpose Type Of Love. i don't feel romantic love either, but i get crushes (occasionally, but honestly that's not under romantic love to me, that's something else), so im aro, but that's not really the point. i'm also low empathy as hell (and cluster b), and most of the time love also comes with a dragony possessiveness, like "this person is Mine. doesn't matter How, just mine."
so like. i have a couple friends, i have people i'm friendly with (classmates, etc), but for someone to cross the line into love is really rare. i have a queerplatonic partner, and i love him. i have one sibling that i For Sure love. i have another sibling and parents, and i'm pretty sure i love them? i definitely like them, at least. and like, someone i've known since i was eight? (for reference, i'm 19 now.) i don't love her. i like her quite a bit, but i don't love her.
there's probably a specific label under aplatonic for this, or i could make one, but i don't care to do that at the moment; aplatonic as an umbrella works fine for me, at the moment. mostly, i'm just curious if anyone else gets this, having only one type of love, especially if they also call themself aplatonic
