#platonic

I'm a big fan of open communication. There is just one thing I can think of, that should absolutely be kept quiet/private unless you and your conversation partner*s are discussing consentually putting it into action: sexual fantasies involving the other person*s. I'm asexual and don't have such fantasies, so this doesn't apply to me. But there is also one thing that, in my experience, is not a good idea to talk openly about: platonic fantasies. Telling another person, you desperatly want to be close friends with them, but the tiny attempts to initiate friendship so far over the past year was everything you got, so if they wanted to be friends too, they'd have to put in most of the work, doesn't usually go well. It doesn't help that I keep having these fantasies for people who are not availible for friendships. #SocialAnxiety #SocialPhobia #friendship #friendships #friends #platonic #lonely #loneliness #communication
