Any good resources for differentiating earnest attraction and fetishisation? I’m kinda going through a crisis and there’s nobody I can to about it in real life.

I think the main thing is how you treat people and present your interest

if you’re respecting their boundaries , it’s just attraction. If you keep having feelings where you’re paranoid about attraction secretly being fetishization even if you respect their boundaries, it sounds like intrusive thoughts/obsessive compulsive thoughts
