Answering a question from 119 out of this world (sorry Tumblr won't let me tag you)
They asked "what does being aplatonic and loveless mean and what is your experience"
I think I have made several post about being loveless and aplatonic but those are old posts and I post a lot
Aplatonic means little to no platonic attraction or platonic feelings
It doesn't always mean you don't have or want friends but it can
Aplatonic is a spectrum just like all other aspec labels
My experience is not everyone's experience
Now for basic definition of loveless
Loveless is a term anyone can use even if you are not aspec or even queer
Loveless means you feel disconnected from love as a concept for any reason
You can be repulsed by the word love
But you can also be loveless and sometimes say Iove you to people
I personally am a mix of these two statements
I pretty much only love a few people
And that doesn't make those people special or the one
In one of those people is my younger sister so that would be incest
Anyways I don't feel love often
But that doesn't mean I don't care about people and I'm a very social and kind person
I just don't feel anything in my heart for my most people
The main attractions I feel are sexual and sometimes romantic
And familial attraction for my younger sister
I feel care for people as a whole and some people in my life
For me care and love are not the same thing
Care is a set of behaviors
I don't feel love very often but I do care a lot about the people I like in my life
I don't usually like it when people besides my parents and siblings say the words I love you
It makes me grossed out and anxious because I probably can't love them and I definitely don't love them as much they do
Sometimes I love the person I'm dating but usually I don't for a long time
But I still feel attraction to my partners usually mostly sexual with alterous or romantic mixed in
But sexual attraction is the first attraction I feel for partners
I experience sexual love for my online friend (Emma)
Sexual love is like being in love but instead of romantically it's sexually
Like I love them because I want to fuck them
Sexual love and family love are the main two types of I feel
I feel the most sexual love
If I think you are sexy and someone flirts with me and keeps talking to me
And I say I'm in love it's sexual not romantic
If you can't tell I'm aromantic allosexual and aplatonic
Now on to the aplatonic side of things
I don't want to have the number of friends I have it is way too many
I feel grossed out when people I don't know call me friend because I'm aplatonic and don't usually seek out friends they mostly come to me
I would be happier if I had a small polycule instead of a friend group because I don't like having a friend group because I'm aplatonic and don't usually feel Platonic attraction
Having more than one close friend is hard for me because I'm aplatonic and autistic
I feel like I'm supposed to love my friends but to be honest I don't
I would not mind if I drifted apart from most of them and only had her (the girl I make posts about)
I just don't feel attachments to most of them because I'm loveless and aplatonic
This is just me every loveless and aplatonic person is different
