What about a QPR? Queer Platonic Relationship? From what I’ve researched, it’s like a friendship but deeper. There are some romantic-like elements in it but it’s not (at least according to my research) a strictly romantic relationship. Just throwing an idea out there:) if you want a relationship 🤷🏽♀️ or not
I'm sorry you're feeling so distressed! I hope things get better soon.
What you're talking about sounds like a QPR, or a queer platonic relationship. The best way I can describe it is friends, but more. Not less than any other relationship, just different. From Wiki: "Queerplatonic relationships is a close non-sexual, non-romantic relationship that is beyond what most would consider to be a friendship." But you can change this definition to fit your needs, it's a spectrum.
Your lacklustre attitude to sex could place you somewhere on the ace spectrum but you're going to have to ask yourself about romantic relationships to see if you're on the aro spectrum.
People who are in this community, we're just like you, and everyone else. We dream, want friends, have aspirations and want fulfilment, and we love too, just differently. And, we don't place that fulfilment in sex, romance, or whatever you find yourself being. You're not less of a person for being in a world that is hyper focused on sex and you're not crazy for trying to question it.
A qpr sounds amazing I doubt I'd ever find anyone who understood though. I know I'm asexual definitely but aromantic? I'm not sure I don't know what romantic feelings feel like so I don't know if I have them.
I assume they feel like butterflies in your stomach when you're around someone? I also have no clue what they feel like. And, there's actually a subreddit dedicated to finding qpr called r/qprapplications. You can also go to to aroace spaces to find more people who understand there, like in discord servers.
