this is so real, i was in a year-long “relationship” but to me it was literally just a friendship and i feel like i didn’t actually have feelings for her and just saw her as a friend

also if i get into a relationship i don’t want it to be monogamous. every monogamous relationship i’ve been in i’ve felt trapped and grew to resent the person(something i need to talk abt in therapy ik LMAO)

like this post(absolutely no hate to OP it’s just an example ily), i just don’t get this fr wdym you’re pining for a relationship. idk maybe it’s because i was weird as a kid and no one showed interest in me at all until i was 16 so my brain developed weird or smthn

and ever since then, ive literally never had feelings for anyone. ive found people attractive, but i can never see myself being with any of them and sometimes i feel “wrong” for that :/

no yes this !! i’ve had strong feelings for people but i feel like it’s never actually been romantic, they’re just strong platonic feelings. like idk my best friend and i have literally talked about building a life together but on Opposite sides of a duplex lmao. like they can do whatever have the wife and kids and im just chilling as the weird aunt/uncle with my cat

and i don’t think you should feel wrong for that at all!! i think as long as u communicate and don’t lead ppl on you’re literally just existing

and yea, i know i shouldn’t feel wrong. it’s just kind of an internalized sort of phobia type thing unfortunately because of how i grew up, thankfully my friends are amazing however and are helping me get rid of those feelings
