#frayplatonic

[shenny100]

To say that I love in the traditional sense is a lie. To say that I don't care about others is an even bigger lie.

I care about others a lot, I really do, but, I don't feel that attraction the normal way.

I feel surface level romantic and platonic attraction but not the deep emotional kind.

It hurts because I'm full of such love for humanity/humans. But, to say that I love in the traditional sense would be a lie.

think I might be frayplatonic (plantonic attraction fades after you get to know someone) but I'm not sure if that’s just actually normal. so.

Btw in my experience, platonic attraction has been like: thinking someone is very cool and wanting to hang out with them more/get closer to them as a friend. (not necessarily a crush-like squish level of fixation.) If I had space I would have added "despite learning their flaws./Of course I want to hang out with my friends (& not just out of general loneliness)!" or smth to the second poll option to illustrate.

(I only really have one friend I want to keep in touch with after graduating because I find them interesting, and one acquaintance I'd like to if we were better friends - there are a few people I value my long-term bond with and want to keep in touch with for that reason, but not for them themself. I usually conceptualize my friendships as that after getting to know someone I start finding flaws (ex. annoying, immature, supports the US military) that make me lose interest, but I've been wondering for a while if there's something aplatonic-spec going on here.)

PS: if you are option 4, I'm sorry for casting doubt on your experiences. I hope you can understand and forgive my uncertainty, esp since I think I share your experiences.

edit: okay slay i went to the tag and there are like three people identifying as frayplatonic already, this is good news. (i have not ever seen 'frayplatonic' in the wild; I "came up with" the term as the platonic version of 'frayromantic/sexual' (terms which I have heard of).)

i hate being aroace & frayplatonic so much. the one way i'm able to make connections with others fades after like a week or 2, and it just makes me feel lost all the time. i just want a friend who i can be close to for more than 7 days ;-;

[allthoughts-headgay]

ok i am in a tad bit of a questioning crisis thing. i’m nonbinary and aroace, but i feel like my tertiary attraction is a big enough part of my identity to mention. i don’t know what to call it tho. ik i’m frayplatonic and frayaesthetic and demi-queerplatonic/alterous but i’ve been feeling like calling myself lesbian might be accurate but.

1. im nonbinary and idk if i’m comfortable implying that i’m female by using lesbian

2. im aroace, and i don’t wanna give ppl the wrong idea

3. ive been aesthetically attracted to men. idk if i can be bi-aesthetic and lesbian-qp/alterous

but also

1. though im nonbinary i still have a connection to womanhood not bc i am a girl but bc thats what i was raised as and i think i like girls in like. a gay way. idk

2. my aesthetic attraction feels a lot less “real” than my qp/alterous attraction and i only rlly feel the need to mention my qp/alterous attraction, plus i use the SAM rlly heavily but i’m just not sure if that would be ok cause i am attracted to guys just in a different way so can i still say im lesbian in regards to qp/alterous attraction?

[image description: six different cartoon-style bunting graphics, featuring six pride flags hanging from a brown rope. The flags are rectangular, finishing in a chevron shape, and have rows of brown stitching across the top of the flag and along the bottom of the chevron. First image in each set shows the flags with the topmost stripes facing the left; second image shows the three right-hand flags flipped, so all topmost edges face away from the centre of the bunting.

The first flag on each banner is an aromantic spectrum identity and alternates with the corresponding aplatonic spectrum pride flag. Banners in descending order: abroromantic and abroplatonic, apresromantic and apresplatonic, askepsiromantic and askepsiplatonic, arospike and aplspike, frayromantic and frayplatonic, greyromantic and greyplatonic.]

i cannot remember the name, but people who experience romantic attraction until it's reciprocated/they're in a romantic relationship - anyways that concept, i think that's what platonic attraction is like for me.

like i see someone cool and i want to be friends, but as soon as we reach any friend-like stage i no longer care if we remain friends or not, and i have absolutely no idea if i feel any platonic feelings but i think it's minimal or fluctuates.

#don't mind me rambling thoughts #just relationships in general are weird #and i have no idea what's going on #but this sounds fairly accurate #also platonic attraction please stop i already have enough friends #i either get exhausted or become a bad friend by never talking to or doing anything with them #like not for everyone #i am not a bad friend to everyone #but this would be why i remain at acquaintance-friend stage with most people #which i don't really care #but it is tiring #also i know i can look for the term and i will in a sec #but it's not necessary to get the point of this post across #especially as this post is mostly just for me anyways haha #edit: i looked it up #i guess i'm frayplatonic??

Aplatonic (apl for short) flags part 1 :3 ⭐️ (This set uses yellow, there's another set that uses green+blue+purple for apl instead.) (Due to the image limit, this is split into 4 posts.)

I noticed some a-spec flags were missing tertiary counterparts, so I made some. Some of these flags have already been made before, so they're not all original (I still wanted to have all the flags together in a set, and all in the same res).

I'll also note that some of these terms can have multiple names, with the "platonic", "aplatonic", & "apl" part being interchangeable. This isn't applicable to every term though. I also chose not to list everything to try to keep it brief. So for example, greyplatonic can also be called greyaplatonic and greyapl.

just a reminder that being aplatonic n wanting to feel friendship doesn't make u invalid.

you could be aplflux/spike

you could be platofavourable

you could be frayplatonic

you could be cupioplatonic

you could be in the process of unlearning internalized apl-phobia

u are valid, whether u are completely platorepulsed or platofavourable! :)

Greyplflux

sources - LGBTQIA Wiki, MOGAI Wiki, @/pride-color-schemes, Asexuals Wiki

An aspec microlabel in which someone is aplflux (frayplatonic one day, acoplatonic the next, e.t.c.). However greyplflux people commonly fluctuate back to greyplatonicism, or feel somewhat greyplatonic all the time.

Alternate light greyplflux (left) and dark greyplflux (right) versions:

i know what aces and aros are, what are aplats? is that like ace and aro but for platonic?

thanks in advance, looked it up and couldn’t find anything : (

I asked an acquaintance on discord (who has an aplatonic blog which you can find here: @aplatonic-stuff) and he kindly wrote down an explanation for me to share. 👏

Aplatonic is an identity similar to aromantic or asexual, but for platonic. There are two main reason one might identify as aplatonic; - feeling little to no platonic attraction, or feeling it abnormally/an abnormal amount (eg, demiplatonic or frayplatonic) - having trouble forming and/or keeping platonic relationships, usually because of neurodivergence and/or trauma Important notes; - each aplatonic person has a different relationship with friendships or other such platonic relationships. Some may want or need them, some may not, and for some it's not as simple. We're all different in different ways - each person defines platonic attraction and relationships kind of different, so what aplatonic means and encapsulates may vary from person to person - aplatonic is not an identity exclusive to aromantics. It was first coined by an alloromantic asexual, who didn't make it to be an exclusive identity to any one group - while there are some similarities, aplatonic is not the same as loveless aro. Loveless is more a rejection of the word and/or concept of love, and aplatonic more a lack of platonic attraction This is more just definitions and footnotes than explanations or personal experiences, which can make properly understanding more difficult. While I don't have the spoons to explain any further than this, if you want to know more there's plenty to see in the aplatonic tag, and there's definitely some aplatonic blogs you could check out! My blog is @aplatonic-stuff if you want to check it out, though activity is a bit spotty.

INTRO ☢ !!

I am the Owner of this Acc :3!! Feel free to call me whatever. My Tiktok & Discord are the main ways to contact me, to request send a request HERE

I am a POC, Chinese-Viet. I have NPD, Autism, Hypersexuality, and possibly other conditions 😓😓!! I experience Maladaptive Daydreams :D!!

Labels I use,,,

- Boyflux; Someone who's gender is fluid/fluctuates between the intensities of masculine or guy genders. Ex. They may feel Demiboy one day, then feel Agender-Boy.

- Transguy; Someone who was either born Intersex, or AFAB (Assigned Female At Birth) and either identifies or transitions into a Guy.

- Transmasc; Someone who identifies or transitions into a Masculine gender. Someone who is transmasc may not always be a Transguy; ex. they could be a transmasc nonbinary person.

- Namefluid; Someone who's Name is fluid. (similar to Genderfluid)

- AroAce; aroace is the combined term of asexual & aromantic. Someone who is aroace experiences little to no romantic and sexual attraction.

- Queerplatonic; queerplatonic is a non-sexual, non-romantic attraction that goes beyond friendship.

- QPR (to explain QP more); queerplatonic relationships are nonsexual, nonromantic (intent) wise relationships that may have romantic, sexual, or platonic dynamics. a qpr is more than a friendship and you should not label qpr as one unless the qpr themselves states they see it as a friendship. since aroace ppl experience attraction differently compared to allos (non-aroace ppl) they may not use "relationship" or "couple" to explain their bond.

- Frayplatonic; frayplatonic similar to fraysexual & frayromantic is when someone loses platonic attraction the longer they get to know an individual.

- Xenogender; Xenogenders are Genders that are "beyond human understandings of gender". Something like, "Catgender" wouldn't mean the person identifies as a cat -- It means their gender is related or connected to a cat. Xenos are used for Neurodivergent ppl (Autism, ADHD, etc) to express themselves better. BUT Xenogenders are not only for Neurodivergent people, and sometimes they're just used for fun :) ❤.
