Aw Hell naw my past don prankd my attraction ;~;(Don't know how to deal with this; please don't hate on me for it- See Comments) | Please help ;-; (read description since everything made the text really small [TW]); I know it might seem stupid, but I genuinely don't feel attraction towards real people? I mean, I *can*, but it only ever lasts so long, and the feelings have *always* passed. Now, this is majorly due to some childhood trauma of mine (it dealt with a sexually abusive and manipulative relationship) that, you know... It just kind of ruined all attraction for me? All right, so... I don't know if this is a "mocking" sexuality, such as "dreamsexual", hence I don't know if I should identify as it, but- A while back, I read about 'Fictosexuality', and I honestly feel as though that fits me really well? It's definded as “an umbrella term for anyone who experiences exclusive sexual attraction toward fictional characters, a general type of fictional characters, or whose sexuality is influenced by fictional characters."; However, I can still feel attraction towards fictional characters, and the feelings don't seem to fade with them as they do with real people. I don't really know how to explain it, but, yeah- Please be mindful of this and not all "Oh, you're just taking simping too far!", because I'm being serious- Anyways, is this okay? Is it normal? Can I identify as such a thing? Some Sources:

What's abrosexual, if you don't mind me asking (´・ω・`)? I've not heard of such a thing until now, though I did just look it up- Still, I'm afraid I don't quite understand it all too well, especially since is my first time reading up on such a thing. Thanks!
Best wishes.

it’s when your sexual attraction changes and stuff

Hmmm... Maybe, but I'm not sure if it's my sexual attraction that changes? Besides, I've always felt close bonds and stronger connections towards fictional characters, meanwhile I find it difficult to bond with and feel actual emotions for *real* people, which is a result of said past trauma. Like, genuinely- I don't think I can ever even come to love an actual person more than a fictional character. It's really difficult for me to explain, I'm sorry-

hmmm
Fictosexuality, fictoromance, and fictophilia are terms that have recently become popular in online environments as indicators of strong and lasting feelings of love, infatuation, or desire for one or more fictional characters.

Yeah, exactly that! That's *exactly* how I feel, but I just... don't know if it's okay to identify as that? Besides, it almost sounds, you know... mocking of the LGBTQ+ Community? Plus, how do you just-
"Hey, I like you and would really be interested in dating you :)"
"I'm fictosexual, sorry-"
"What?"
"I only feel attraction towards fictional characters- ಥ_ಥ" (as previously stated, I *DO* feel attraction towards real people, but said attraction *never* lasts very long, unlike with my attraction towards fictional characters)
"That's stupid and invalid."

Yeah, and, well... Thanks for helping me out with this all, because it actually feels really refreshing and relieving to finally just- get this all out, especially since I've been caging it all up ever since I first read about it (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

So... fictoromantic, maybe? Or, well... I think I'd actually be more ace flux with my fictosexuality, to be honest- Either way, I know that I'm *definitely* on the ace spectrum (*^-^*)Thanks for the help ♥

or you’re asexual

I *know* that I'm asexual (in the sense that I'd rather refrain from such acts); it's just the attraction I'm trying to work out here 🤔

you still have attraction to people
you can also be pan-
idk what i’m saying but just a thought
it means you love everyone, but the asexual balances it all out and being Fictosexuality attracted- it kinda sums it up

Yes, but a very weak one, at that. And as for pansexual, I'm definitely *not* pansexual since I've only ever felt true attraction towards males, whether they be fictional or real (hence, homosexual, actually :3)😅

Abrosexuality is having different levels of sexual or romantic attractions throughout your life. A person who is abrosexual may also have changes in their sexual orientation over time.

Just realized that the description messed up the order in which everything goes, so here's a proper copy paste of how it *should* read:

Please help ;-; (read description since everything made the text really small [TW])

All right, so... I don't know if this is a "mocking" sexuality, such as "dreamsexual", hence I don't know if I should identify as it, but- A while back, I read about 'Fictosexuality', and I honestly feel as though that fits me really well? It's definded as “an umbrella term for anyone who experiences exclusive sexual attraction toward fictional characters, a general type of fictional characters, or whose sexuality is influenced by fictional characters."

I know it might seem stupid, but I genuinely don't feel attraction towards real people? I mean, I *can*, but it only ever lasts so long, and the feelings have *always* passed. Now, this is majorly due to some childhood trauma of mine (it dealt with a sexually abusive and manipulative relationship) that, you know... It just kind of ruined all attraction for me?

However, I can still feel attraction towards fictional characters, and the feelings don't seem to fade with them as they do with real people. I don't really know how to explain it, but, yeah- Please be mindful of this and not all "Oh, you're just taking simping too far!", because I'm being serious- Anyways, is this okay? Is it normal? Can I identify as such a thing?
