Where am I on the aro spectrum? Am I even on it???
So all people I know told me I get crushes to people to quickly, but I don't know if that's the case? I have 0 sexual attraction to any real people (at least at first, but I've never been sexually attracted to anyone but fictional characters), so yeah, it's not physical attraction. When I first meet a group of people, I look around, and if I see a person that seems cool to me (nice style, shared interests with me, good music taste) I pick that person and say to myself they're my crush. The thing is after telling myself this (not for long but constantly, I kind of obsess over people), I actually start developing what may be romantic attraction. Like the whole feeling nervous and wanting to cry and vomit when I think about them. But at first it never has been attraction, it's been this "choose the most fun/cool/interesting/smart person and that's my crush". Am I somewhere on the aromantic spectrum (if so, where???) or am I just a very confused alloromantic person?
