Aspec Glossary: Ambivalent
What is the Aspec Glossary?
Ambivalent is a descriptor often used to indicate one's personal feelings about certain actions which may be more complicated than just repulsed, averse, indifferent, or favorable. For example, someone may be romance-ambivalent, sex-ambivalent, rose-ambivalent, plato-ambivalent, etc.
Someone who is ambivalent may have mixed or dynamic feelings towards what they are ambivalent to. For example, someone who is sex-ambivalent may be repulsed by some sexual actions and favorable to other sexual actions, or their level of repulsion/favorability may be fluid or fluctuating. There are many other reasons why someone may identify with the ambivalent label over repulsed, averse, indifferent, or favorable, these are just a couple.
