#apothiplatonic

[thelovelesscatholic]

It feels weird being aplatonic and having friends. It’s like I will never think of you as a friend. I am happy I met you. You will never be an essential source of happiness for me. You make life more fun. I don’t miss you when you’re gone. I like that your company is an option for me. Saying I love you and giving me hugs disgust me. Saying you’re grateful for me and being considerate of me makes me happy. I will never love you the way you love me. I hope I’m a good person to you. We will never completely understand each other. I like I can be myself around you. I hope I don’t hurt you. You can’t hurt me. If I lost you I wouldn’t grieve our relationship. I think of you without longing and view our lessons and experiences without ache. Is all of this fair to you? Is it fair to me? Is this really all okay or is it just me being selfish?

You don't need friends to be socially fulfilled. If all you want is to have conversations with someone, you know you don't need to befriend them right? Like, you can have a totally impersonal relationship with them, right?

You don't need to interpersonally commit to anyone to fulfill your social needs. Acquaintances exist for a reason!

You don't need friends to be happy! Let them go!!

Aplatonic (apl for short) flags part 3 🍏🟩🟦🟪 (This set uses green+blue+purple, there’s another set that uses yellow for apl instead.) (Due to the image limit, this is split into 4 posts.)

greyplatonic | demiplatonic | aegoplatonic (1)

aegoplatonic (2) | non sam apl (1) | non sam apl (2)

neu apl | aplvoid | aplflux

aplspike (1) | aplspike (2) | apljump

dark greyplatonic | light greyplatonic | atomoplatonic

delloplatonic | fictoplatonic | cupioplatonic

bellusplatonic | reciproplatonic | lithoplatonic

frayplatonic (1) | frayplatonic (2) | apothiplatonic

orchidplatonic | myrplatonic | aplflexible

I’ll also note that some of these terms can have multiple names, with the “platonic”, “aplatonic”, & “apl” part being interchangeable. This isn’t applicable to every term though. I also chose not to list everything to try to keep it brief. So for example, greyplatonic can also be called greyaplatonic and greyapl.

Aspec Glossary: Apothi

What is the Aspec Glossary?

Apothi- is a microlabel prefix that indicates that the person in question is averse to or repulsed by the type of relationship that is associated with that type of attraction. "Apothi" comes from the Greek word "apothimeno", which means repulsed.

Apothiromantics are typically either romance-averse or romance-repulsed. They may be uncomfortable with or disgusted by the idea of romance, romantic actions, and romantic relationships in general, or only with regard to engaging in those personally.

Apothisexuals are typically either sex-averse or sex-repulsed. They may be uncomfortable with or disgusted by the idea of sex, sexual actions, and sexual relationships in general, or only with regard to engaging in those personally.

Apothiroses or apothiaroaces are both apothiromantic and apothisexual.

Apothiplatonics are typically either plato-averse or plato-repulsed. They may be uncomfortable with or disgusted by the idea of friendship, platonic actions, and platonic relationships in general, or only with regard to engaging in those personally.

Someone can also be apothifamilial, apothisensual, etc.

Capyapothiapl

For those who are repulsed by the kind of attraction capyplatonic entails. Capyplatonic being when one goes along with being friends or in a platonic relationship if the other person is/has already assumed they're already friends.

Capyapothiapl people may find the idea of someone assuming they're friends with them to be uncomfortable and unwanted. One may even stop considering having/maintaining a relationship if the assumption is made.

Really wish I could scroll Aromantic tags without being bombarded with people using friendship, QPRs and found family as a "replacement attraction." Like, come on!! Can't you at least tag it Alloplatonic, AlloQueerPlatonic and Allofamilial please? Really not asking for much here
