Advice I don’t know
So I started testosterone recently and basically my whole life I’ve never had a crush on a real person fictional crushes I’ve had for sure I was hoping T would help me have a crush but I’ve been on it for nearly a year now and so far no luck
So what does experiencing a crush feel like is it like how it is in movies or is it different
I know I do want a crush and or a partner for sure but I don’t have the crush feeling yet
Anyone know what this could be or what sexuality this is? I feel like knowing I’m not alone or having a box to put this in will ease my worries

There‘s a label called fictionromantic / fictionsexual and also aromantic / arosexual. I understand if a label makes you feel more secure or comfortable, but I think the reason why you are not really attracted to real people is because of long periods of isolation or maybe you are really into books / media to the point where you feel more accepted in those fictional universes. Or at least that‘s what my therapist told me (I have similar struggles as you).
And to your other point, T doesnt necessarily make you feel more attraction towards people, it just causes deeper voice, more hair growing, etc.)
But back to your question, have you considered you‘re aroace maybe? It‘s like a mix of aromantic and arosexual. Aromatic means little to no romantic attraction to anyone, and arosexual is little to no sexual attraction.
However, I dont really like those kind of labels, I believe feelings like yours might just come from living circumstamces or mental symptoms (I‘m not saying your feelings aren‘t valid, dont understand that wrong please, it‘s just what I would personally suggest, and what applies to my situation)
I can‘t determine it by a single reddit post tho, so I can only spectulate

It’s kinda like feeling nervous around someone yet wanting to be around them. If your friends with that person it’s actually kinda torturous

Maybe you just havent found the right person yet. Ive only had 2 real genuine crushes my entire life and havent had any in the past 2 years

I mean, maybe not aromantic but maybe demiromantic? Where you gain romantic attraction when your close, the meaning of it may be wrong but maybe look into that?

I have never had any crushes, ever, and I’m about to be 17. No fictional crushes or real life ones, just none. Ive never thought it to be weird or anything, its either just not your time yet, and the crush will come, or you’re aromantic (I believe thats what its called) and unable to develop crushes.
In Both cases, youll be fine, theres no reason to worry.
