So I recently came to an epiphany. For a long time I thought my fictional crushes had a common thread of looks and that I was attracted to that. But as the list of exceptions grew longer and longer, the ability to find any similar physical features was getting harder and harder.

Plus I've met a lot of people that fit what I thought my type was in real life—nothing. Just...no dice. No attraction.

I don't think looks are what do it for me.

I started looking at the fictional character that I have had crushes on, and what they DO have in common are personality traits and personal stories. Like, it's a way more solid thread of commonality. So, I may be drawn to a certain personality type.

It may also help explain why I have yet to have a crush on or feel attracted to a real person.

self reflection growth Ive been in the wider adult world for a while now and been very confused about the difference in my experience compared to others i do wonder if I might be considered demisexual or something like that or if it is just how I see the world due to how I was raised Cuz I described this to my parents and they see my experience as the norm at least by their standards so maybe it is
