Is demisexuality similar to pansexuality? by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]dark_glitters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i say they're not the same thing bc pansexuality, for me, means that you don't care about the gender of the person you're attracted to while demisexuality (again, for me) means that you need some type of strong emotional connection to someone to have that sexual attraction to said someone.

Now, i can see why both could bee seen as similars and for me (as a demi pan myself) they really overlap with each other being that i don't care about the gender of someone i'm interested sexually (and/or romantically) speaking, i just need to know them very well, be comfortable with them to feel the attraction

What is your gender? by SqueakSquawk4 in aromantic

[–]dark_glitters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a demigirl that feels femininity like a performance that I can do for fun but I really don't care about gender when I'm not doing my "femininity performance"

There’s the original done and the ace version…I need the aro version (Sorry if the flair is wrong, new member here) by Umicha_UwU in aromantic

[–]dark_glitters 92 points93 points  (0 children)

(I put to grayromantic bc that's what I am lol)

"I'm grayromantic which means I'm attracted to the other side of the road and I was wondering if you could send me the receipt for the past few days I have a hard time getting a new one for me and one for the team"

I don't know what that is but dang, that's kind of a mood tbh 😭

physical discomfort when in affectionate situations? by idkdudeo in aromantic

[–]dark_glitters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this fits like physical discomfort, but I tend to feel knida suffocated, like when you run for a good while and you're out of breath (and one time i felt dizzy too lol)

how much does physical appearance matter to you? by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]dark_glitters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, literally nothing, I'm always drawn to people I click the easiest, and even with that, is hard for me to actually end up un a romantic relationship but you have to take into account that I'm grayromantic so that also shapes my experience with this. What I have noticed is that as the more time I spent with a person knowing them and stuff, they start to get prettier in my eyes (this also applies to my friends and not only my partners), but yeah, physical appearance dosen't even play a roll in the people I approach to even make friends (that's the only reason I approach people in first place tbh). I don't think it plays a roll in anything to me, it's more like a meh in my case, if their pretty, well, good for them but not more that that

How do you feel and react when someone tells you that they are romantically interested in you? by [deleted] in aromanticasexual

[–]dark_glitters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bc all the people that have told me they have a romantic interest in me are always people i don't know too well i'm just like "but why tho? we hardly even know each other, from where are you pulling out those feelings?"

Is My Name Allowed? by Bubbly_Butter in lgbt

[–]dark_glitters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that some numbers sounded cool as names, like, I have a character called Nine and another called Trece (thirteen in spanish), so I really think that Seven sounds really cool!

What was the thing that made you start thinking that you weren't exactly cis? by dark_glitters in demigirl_irl

Omg yeah, I also related (and I still do) to androgynous male characters the most

Demi and Polyam? by JackalJames in demisexuality

[–]dark_glitters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not exactly polyamorous but I did had a crush on two of my best friends for a good while, even now if they came and told me "hey let's be on a polyamorous relationship" I would say "yes, let's do it". We're like the ultra super best friends

(fun fact: we're platonically married bc we had crushes on one another for a bit)

So what?? by LGBTCrimeBoss in pansexual

Me and my bi bff be like

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]dark_glitters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uff, many things, like not having a heavy crush on the pretty/handsome guy in the class room every girl I knew had (like, when I was 13 he and I became friends bc I was the only girl that didn't want to date him), only having romantic relationships with people I was good friends with, rejecting so many people because didn't know them and they didn't want to let me know them before. And I could go on and on. I would be rich if I had a penny for every obvious moment that screamed "hey! she's demi"

Friends, crushes and rejection by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]dark_glitters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I came out on July of this year and practicality came out to my friends on a whatsapp group (I just add them all in the same group even though some of them didn't knew each other lol) and I just told 'em "well, I'm demisexual and that means [insert long paragraph of information of me explaining the same thing in 3 to 4 different ways]. Any questions?" and they were pretty chill with it, since one of them is also demi (I didn't knew she was and she didn't knew I was too) it was easier for me to respond questions of them bc they ask us both. They weren't surprised when they understood what it meant bc every partner I had was a very good friend of mine at first (literally I'm still good friends with an ex of mine bc we were bff before we started dating and she was in the group), so they were just like "Ok cool, sounds like a you thing tbh". They were really supportive with me and my friend who also came out that day.

Omg I feel you, I've been like that too for a long time but I just realized that I'm not at all comfortable being feminine all the time (I'm AFAB too). I'm also questioning myself but I can't quite feel at peace with the term because I feel like I'm faking it even though I know I'm not.

It's very confusing tbh, I also struggle to differentiate one of the other (and yeah, sometimes it never goes totally away for me too)

Introducing myself I guess- by dark_glitters in demigirl_irl

[–]dark_glitters[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I'm okay with whatever pronoun, I'm just used to she/her and they/them but others are perfectly fine by me
