A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

There's probably a lot of different kinds.
I think I might be fucked or something; I don't feel love the same way other people describe. No warm tingles, no sense of belonging. To me, it's like having very close friends that I know care about me more than just as a friend.
I try to be a good partner, friend, family member, etc, because I take pride in my work. I reciprocate, but I'm just pretending at the end of the day; there's no emotion from my side. I know my partner likes tea made a certain way at the same time, so I make it, but their smile is just feedback. All love languages are one-directional since I don't understand it.
I haven't told anyone, I think it would upset them, but maybe I should just be honest. I think they call it "aromantic" nowadays? Though I'm hesitant to add yet more labels to my identity.
I get that. I also like being alone, so theres that. Not for a very long amount of time, but if I get 3 days completely alone its like a whole new world.
I also am way more likely to have strong feelings for a stranger or aquantanice I've only met a couple times, if I really like them I can obsess over it. If I already know them it wears off fast.
I feel warm tingles after a really excellent blowjob.
