Hi! I'm aspec and wondering if I'm aplatonic, asocial or anamical, or maybe all? I have the gist of it but i've seen platonic attraction be described so many different ways that im now confused as what counts as platonic (unless its a flexible definition-) if you know, could you describe key differences between amical, social and platonic ?

I saw people classifying anamicality and asociality within aplatonic spectrum/as aplspec identities.

and just as you noticed, platonic attraction is so subjective and multifaceted that the aplatonic spectrum becomes broader than any other anattractional spectrum/aspec identity.

I say that because I’m alloplatonic but nuancedly apl-spec, since I’m on asocial and anamical spectrums. that’s how I view myself, so depending on other people’s interpretations on those attractions, I could become aplatonic alloamical.

when I coined/tried to describe my feelings towards what I called amical attraction, I interpreted platonic attraction as an intersection between interpersonal interactions and impersonal attraction. I hadn’t the right words in my mind to subcategorize that that time.

why impersonal? in philosophy classes in highschool, I learned about platonism and platonic love in a perspective similar to what I used to ratiocinate/rationalize, maybe I self-interpreted my own way too.

maybe going on wikis and reading about those sorts of attraction seems easy to classify yourself through handy terms ignoring subjectivity.

I saw some blogs mentioning the concept that amical attraction comes from a non-Westerner point of view. comparable to the non-consanguineous siblinghood (brotherhood/sisterhood, called bromance/womance specifically I guess). in truth, amicality derive (Neo)Latin languages (amistad/amizade/amitié/amicizia). it shouldn’t be confused with amicability (friendliness) nor amiability (loveliness).

anytime you see platonic orientation antagonists acting as if platonicality is a friendship attraction, you see that friendships in english encompasses acquaintanceships as well.

so friends aren’t necessarily amique (amīcum/amigue/ami·e), as acquaintances (noti) aren’t the as amiques (amigues/ami·es). I just made amiquity up now, but I’m presuming it’s the neuter/epicene of amico/amica in Italian.

asociality is personality trait based on interacting/socializing but when it comes to attraction/orientation, I personally feel it deeply impersonally rather than tactfully/tactily. I’m unable to speak much on it.

and if some aplatonix are defining their unattraction/aspecness as towards friends and platonicity/platohood as friendhood, that’s their right. in fact it carries a flexible definition/description. in that sense, amicity becomes a best friends relationship/orientation. but wasn’t it just quasiplatonic closeness‽

qplatonicity(qplatonism/qplatonicality) for me is “higher” than amicities(amicalities/amicism)/«more than» just BFFs(best friends). it’s an amato-attraction/amorous(gamous/anthropous/relatious/relational) relationship. but I can’t dictate how others feel about QPP/QPR/QPA. QPRs/QPPs can be interchangeable with amics for some people.

and just in case, there’s specifically familial attraction for siblingliness/germanality (brotherlinees/fraternality\sisterliness/sororality) [germanidade/germanalidade (germanitude/germanity‽)/irmandade/irmanidade/irmanalidade (irmanality/irmanity)/hermanidad/hermandad/hermanalidad (hermanity/hermanality) is the neuter of fraternity & sorority]. so I leave amity to be just friendzoning (many aspex like being friendzoned, as they say) if one wants
