Well I’m feeling somewhat similarly. What are you going through? Walk me through your thought process if you’re okay with that.

Idk I just don’t seem to be attracted to people like others are, especially in how people can tell instantly sometimes or have “types”. I’ve mostly liked people I already knew or started to talk to at least, but even then that attraction is usually either kinda forced on my end cause I want to feel like that for someone or the thought of actually dating them doesn’t feel right to me.

But I also don’t talk to people, especially guys, often so it’s hard to tell

When it comes to being demi I think it’s hard to tell until you get into a relationship or develop a bond. I think worrying about why you feel a certain way is normal but don’t stress it. Try and assess what you want and disregard labels for now. What are your boundaries and with whom. That’s what you should focus on I think.

And your boundaries don’t need to be dictated by your labels or diagnosis. Everyone is entitled to their own boundaries.

Don’t worry.. I understand this as well. Theres no shame in adopting a label. But treat yourself kindly if things change or if you don’t fit it perfectly. I personally am ace and the community is where I’ve fit for a long while. But I’m not sure anymore. It’s scary but not worth suppressing my feelings.
