[aplatonicism]

People have already recommended mutual(s)/moot(s), but I've also started using go-to person/people for folks I'm closer with but still don't consider my friends 🍏

Good ones! I'm fond of "buddies" or "pals" for people that I interact socially with but don't consider "friends". It's kind of the hobby equivalent of "coworker" for me.

Hi! I'm not sure if iit exactly related to the topic of aplatonicism, but what do you think about social interactions irl vs digitally?

I've realised that i'm aplatonic, and that it's enough for me to just interact a little bit with people irl (chatting face-to-face, hanging out in a company), and also that it gets really tiring to interact via only texting or chatting online (even if i know the person irl).

I have the same experience as you - I only require a little bit of face to face interaction to feel socially fulfilled, and chatting online takes a lot of energy, and I get tired very quickly if it's not someone I'm emotionally involved with.

i can tell someone im aplatonic and they will look at me with rage and hatred deep in their eyes and grab me by the wrist too hard and then tell me that I’m just doing this to myself and that it’s my fault I’m lonely and don’t have friends and to stop making stuff up to give myself excuses and I’ll say ‘ok’ and then I’ll go home and fall on my floor and bang my head into the ground until I can’t think or see correctly to prevent myself from having a normal panic attack and so on
