cclynn200 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I’ve been questioning my sexuality for quite a while now, and everything is so confusing. It’s hard to tell the difference between romantic and platonic feelings, and when it comes to sexual attraction, I don’t even know how that works. From what I’ve gathered I think I might be bi? Or something infer the umbrella? But I just don’t know. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsoon Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Hey @cclynn200 Thanks for reaching out to us at Ditch the Label. My name is Monsoon and I'm one of the digital support mentors here. My job is to respond to the posts from our members and give them advice I completely see why you are feeling confused, especially as you have been questioning your sexuality for a while now. Figuring out your sexuality can be quite a tricky phase and many people wish for it to be over as soon as possible. However, sadly, this process can't be rushed and you just have to let nature take its course. Just know that things will get better for you and you'll understand one day. The difference between romantic and platonic feelings is that romantic is having sexual thoughts/feelings about a person and platonic is where you like the person but do not have any sexual thoughts about them. Both feelings involve an emotional connection, and the only difference is the sexual desires for that person. What do you think of this?

What do you think of this?� i’d like to argue that it is possible to have romantic feelings towards someone and not be sexual attracted to them. It is also possible to be platonic friendship with someone and have sexual thoughts about them. Or at least i have. Attraction is confusing, especially as there are so many different types (aesthetic, sensual etc.) remember that there is split attraction. You can be romantically attracted to one gender, but sexually attracted to another . MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
