Cupioromantic

I'm cupioromantic which means that I want to feel love and experience romantic relationships, but I can't fall in love for whatever reason. I just wanted to express how I feel. I hate being cupioromantic and I really wish I could fall in love like in all of my comics, shows, and books but I just can't, and I don't know why. I constantly gaslight myself into thinking that my platonic feelings are romantic while trying to deny the fact that I'm cupioromantic, it's just so hard to accept that I only live once and will probably never feel the enchanting feeling of love. Ever. I just hope I'm wrong about being cupioromantic and I just haven't found the right person yet, but all signs point to me being cupioromantic. Why does my life have to be unfair, why can't I love like everyone else instead of daydreaming about it. Whenever someone confesses to me, I feel so uncomfortable even though that's what I dream of happening every day. I feel so weird when I have to explain to someone that I can't feel love, will they except me? will they think I'm a weirdo for not being able to feel love? What is wrong with me? Why can't I just let people in? Allow myself to fall in love? I cry at night when I think about it. Almost every night it comes up in my head, asking me for an answer. Why? Why? Why? 4 percent of people are aromantic. They feel little to no romantic attraction. 4 percent. Then how many people are cupioromantic? At least if I was aromantic I wouldn't desire a romantic relationship and would be able to accept it more easily. But for some reason I can't fall in love, but I want to? How does that make sense? What's the point of wanting to feel love but can't? Is there a way to fall in love? I don't know. Love surrounds me day in and day out. Seeing it. Hearing it. Thinking about it. It's everywhere in my life and I want to have it as well, but I can't. I feel like an outcast listening to my friend's crushes. Why me? Why do I have to love like this? When everyone else has the luxury of feeling love. I don't care if I feel love and it's toxic, I just want to feel it. If you told me to choose between having all the money in the world or feeling love, I would choose love. Anyways uh, I hope I got my message across. Well not really a message I'm just venting. Omg this is so long I didn't realize. Sorry for this being so long. I don't know if anyone will bother to read something this long but at least I got it out there. (Omg I wrote like a whole essay I'm so sorry)

I read it. Listen, if you are the age it says in your profile, your body and psyche are still both developing. You don't know yet who you are or who you are going to be. Give yourself and everyone else a chance -- very possibly you will, at some point, feel the kind of love you desire to feel. In the meantime enjoy your life.
