How do you distinguish between romantic attraction and strong friendship? Something I struggle with and when romantic attachment is suggested to me I don't know whether/how to say yes/no.

IDK myself... I'm pretty sure I'm just aromantic or perhaps just another symptom of having BPD (I either hate you or love you; there's no in-between).

I would have sex with anyone. I can be friends with almost anyone. And I can sure as hell have both someone who has sex with me that's a friend. What more is there? Dumb gestures instead of just communicating your feelings verbally?

I've searched for an explanation of "romantic attraction" that I can actually understand and still don't know what the hell it really means. So either I don't experience it, or it's just not easy to explain. Or I am the dumb. 🤷🏻‍♂️
