Of course; I'd be more than happy to! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
Now, though my sexuality is sort of caused by some childhood trauma of mine, which is because it ruined my attraction towards real people, I don’t let such a thing define my sexuality. Besides, there are quite a few ways in which I found out I was fictosexual/romantic, such as:
-Even though I have dated several people before, the feelings and attraction I had towards them all pretty much *always* seemed to fade after a while. With fictional characters, on the other hand, my feelings and attraction towards *them* actually lasted. For example, I’ve had feelings for this one fictional character for about, hmmm… four to six years now (I don’t have the best memory, though it’s definitely been for over two years now)? Of course, I don’t express my feelings for them very much anymore, due to how much my dad made fun of me for my attraction towards him- 😅
-Due to my lack of attraction, I even used to identify as aro/ace! However, during this time, I yet found myself longing for a relationship, though, for some reason, I really only kept finding myself feeling genuine attraction and feelings towards fictional characters, and *not* real people.
-A few weeks ago, before I had accepted myself as fictosexual/romantic, I had a crush on a real person. Yet again, the feelings I had for them went away after only about a week, and I can’t seem to get them back, even though the feelings were definitely there at first.
-While I struggle with forming strong bonds, genuine feelings, and romantic/sexual attraction towards real people, I’ve pretty much *always* found it easier to form such things with fictional characters (even though I didn’t catch these traits in myself until rather recently (and also used to misidentify myself as a mere simp, though I soon figured out that these genuine feelings of romantic and sexual attraction towards fictional characters were *genuine* feelings and not just, you know… appreciating a character, like how a mere simp/fan-person would)).
-From what I asked my non-fictosexual/romantic friend in regards to what true love, to them, feels like, I found that what I would feel for fictional characters *was* genuine attraction and feelings, meanwhile I also realized that I didn’t feel such strong things towards real people.
It's a bit hard to explain, though I hope that helped with answering your question! []~(￣▽￣)~*
If you have any further questions regarding my sexuality, I'd love to help out ♥
