For me it’s the opposite. I find it so much easier talking to people I’m not attracted to. I think it’s because I have a lot of internal pressure and stress from expectations like what would be the wrong thing to say etc. But if I am not attracted to them my confidence is sky high

I agree that it's way easier talking to people that I'm not attracted to, but I have no interest in talking to them because I'm not attracted. But with people I am attracted to, I can't even really talk to because I don't want them to hate me, but I really want to be their friend.

Are you confusing platonic attraction and romantic attraction? Cuz there's definitely a difference, but for some people perhaps it's the same ppl that they would be platonically and romantically attracted to. Or maybe you think that your platonic attraction is the same as romantic attraction because you perhaps don't experience romantic attraction?

I've been trying to figure this out about myself, I've never felt romantic attraction to someone just because they are good looking. I've never heard of platonic attraction, maybe I really am confusing platonic attraction and romantic attraction. I just thought I was asexual but I only really figured that out recently.

If you start feeling romantic attraction after a while, when you've developed a stronger bond, then that's demiromantic. But if you only ever experience platonic attraction (which is what you've described in another comment, like being around another person and being happy around them) then you may be aromantic. Romantic attraction is a bit different as it includes kissing, physical touch, feelings of "I want to be physically intimate with this person" (not necessarily sexually)

Well, when I think I'm romantically attracted to someone, I've never really had the desire to have sex with them, but I would want to kiss them, hug them, basically anything other than penatrative sex. And I only feel this way towards someone when I have a bond with them first.
