What does it mean when I legit only enjoy making friends with people, but as soon as it turns romantic at all I want to peel all my skin off???? I think I’m doomed

Uhhh that you don’t like them romantically?

Anonymous 7w

are you aromantic

Anonymous 7w

I don’t know anything about you but for me I struggled with something similar where I was fine talking flirting etc, but when it got serious or physical I just couldn’t. Eventually I told myself to get over it, and once I got the ball rolling with a good partner, the rest was easier, maybe not perfect but easier.

It’s with people I find attractive too! I flirt with them and I’m all good, but as soon as they reciprocate I feel like death

I’m aroace and It sounds to me like you might be on the aromantic spectrum, I forget the term but there is a micro label used to describe someone who can feel attraction only to those who who don’t feel attracted to them. Obviously I don’t know your life and it does take a fair share of self reflection to map out, but it could be something to look into!
