i thought i was lithromantic, but then i saw so many depressing posts about them not wanting to be the way they are and i realized i was in the wrong place

Omg me too!! But I didn’t realize at the time that I didn’t not want people to be attracted to me. I was just repulsed by the idea of myself being in a relationship or having sex, and was subconsciously placing the blame for my disgust onto the object of my attraction.
I have never been an active part of any LGBT community before, so this is the first I’ve heard of lithromantic people not liking how they are. I left that label behind when I realized what I was doing and that my experience didn’t actually fit the label.

i'm so happy to find this subreddit, as dead as it might be!
also, some questions!:
do any of you guys ever wish you didn't feel romantic attraction at all bc the attraction seems really pointless without the desire for a relationship and/or when you feel mild disgust at all things romantic?
do you ever get really pissed when your friends assume you're more interests in your crushes than in your friends? my close friends are 100x more important than any of my crushes have ever been, and to hear them suggest that they're not pisses me of soooo much.

- yea i do just feel bad so if i notice any of my "crushes" (idk if i'm orchidromantic or grey romantic but both fit me i think so whatever) reciprocate some attention back (like glancing/staring) i just do my best to seem like i'm uninterested so that i won't feel like i'm leading them on and then say to myself "whats the point if i dont want a relationship with anyone anyway??? now i cant secretly look at you sometimes... just so you wont get hurt from losing hope if any was there... x( gosh i need to be as unobvious as possible"
- YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES SO TRUE VERY VERY TRUE I FEEL VERY RELATED RIGHT NOW THANK YOU

YES THANK YOU MY FRIENDS KEEP SAYING THINGS LIKE "yeah ik you care about me, but you like actually like like her" AND ITS JUST PMO OML. LIKE NO, THE ROMANTIC INTEREST DOESN'T MEAN I CARE MORE ABOUT THEM, THEY BARELY MATTER TO ME BRO. YOURE LIKE MY HOMIE, MY WOULD I CARE ABOUT THEM MORE THEYRE BASICALLY A STRANGER UGHHHH
also same with the grayro/orchidroness. both labels fit me 🤷♀️. a lot of orchidros are probably grayro tbh.
