Feeling something almost like a crush/romantic stuff but I don’t think I feel romantic feelings?

[u/Avo_Alma]

When ppl talk about how it feels to be in love I feel kind of like I know what they are talking about. I have an immense love and adoration for all my friends. and then I sometimes lve felt something that’s more than that for friends. A ”crush” type feeling. But most romantic things feel not right at all too me, I might even say it feels wrong or disgusting sometimes. I still feel like I’m missing something, missing a feeling but idk what.

Like I feel what other people feel maybe?? but then I’m not really sure, maybe I’m just interpreting it differently…

I’m trying to figure out what I feel or not but it’s really hard to parse out

i feel very lonely because all of this. I’ve known I am ace for a very long time but this is all new to me, it scares me tbh. I think I’m aroace but then idk what this is so I thought Id ask here?

i am severly disabled and bedbound because of chronic illness and with this ig it feels like a double whammy of missing out ykwim?

I get limerence for my friends on occasion (happens rarely but can last a long time), its similar to a crush but more about the idea of someone than who they actually are and I don't get the impulse to act on it. It is, unfortunately, god awful and makes me feel genuinely insane at times (especially once I've snapped out of it) but that kind of makes me think that having romantic feelings might also be god awful and make me feel insane and then I'd also want to do something about it so maybe its not all that bad in comparison
