Have any of y’all ever had the experience where you once went on dates and felt something but now you can’t look at anyone in a romantic way? Is it just emotional unavailability or something similar?

It almost scares me because I can’t make sense of it and it makes me felt super left out. Godamn I’m so bad with describing feelings

    Maybe you're onto something with the emotional unavailability idea. Are you going through a tough time in other areas?

    When I am feeling particularly bad for an extended period, I go from being a crush-prone bisexual polyamorous flirt to feeling like I don't want to look at or touch anyone ever again.

      😭 your comment below kinda nails it

      Lol this is where the ND part comes in though, I’m not sure if what’s been “rough” for me lately is enough to constitute rough if that makes sense. I am living with my parents rent free and although that’s a blessing, it definitely has its trade offs. I also hate my job as well as the direction my local org is headed in and those things have been making me feel down, but that’s about all right now.

      Crushes are so interesting though, you hate when you have them but miss them when you don’t.

      I shall unpack my emotional unavailability this week rat-salute-2

      Would you say that both of these things are fluid? If so, you are likely correct
