#platoniro

It can be hard to accept that you don't differentiate between platonic and romantic feelings - you might even, despite knowing that this is who you are, wonder if you're wrong and you're "actually" just crushing romantically on someone, or "actually" just idolizing their friendship. It can be hard to shake off amatonormativity and stop examining your own feelings under a microscope in the hopes (fears?) that it turns out you're allo. But for us idemros and platoniros the struggle to differentiate is normal, and doesn't have to be picked apart, or be a struggle at all. You can just be. I promise.
