>for some reason rn I am so gravitated towards non platonic ones
I understand. I have a theory on it though.
More or less, we are all lonely and have issues connecting with the people around us. Even many of our friends and family we struggle to be truly vulnerable with them and understood by them. We wear a mask, we feel like imposters, even among the people closest to us. As such we seek that person that we can truly be ourselves with and that we can deeply understand and be understood by in a way that we could with no one else.
The problem is that in seeking that so very adamantly we are less likely to find it. We will find a person that fits roughly into the silhouette of what we are looking for and project onto them many things that just aren't there, and ignore parts of them that are. We struggle to find connection and will instead - ignorant of the fact we are doing so - force a romantic connection where one does not belong.
Pretty sure that's what happened to me at least. And I've seen a few friends of mine repeat the pattern... much to my dismay.
