I’ve always heard platonic attraction as a strong desire to form a deep platonic connection with a specific person. It’s wanting to be close with a person and form a deep bond, but no sexual or physical connection.
I think you’re just describing finding a person attractive vs being attracted to a person. I haven’t heard a term for it before.




I’m in the same boat. Had a surgery years ago where they tried giving me fentanyl, dilaudid, and tramadol at different points and they all just made me incredibly nauseous with no noticeable pain relief. I still remember the nurse in the PACU being really confused that my pain was still an 8/10 despite being on the max dose of tramadol.
