I think jonathan sims has deeply complicated feelings on love and what counts as love. Hit post
I think Jon doesn’t know what people really mean by it. If there’s some specific Thing he’s not feeling. If there’s supposed to be a thing where he just magically knows ah yes. I love this person. Be it platonic or romantic. I think he has trouble truly connecting with someone enough to form any sort of friendship. I think he doesn’t know how he’d tell if he loved someone. If he has a lot of positive feelings about them and feels safe around them, does that means he loves them? He calls it that for simplicity. Do other people just Know? Ah yes, I love them. Is there something missing? If he actually gets closer to people, will he magically Know, yes. I love them. Or will he always just be putting words where they don’t quite fit?
He cares so much it hurts. That’s love, right? It still doesn’t feel like it fits. Not properly.
I don’t know if I’d call him a loveless aro. But I also don’t know if I Wouldn’t. I think he has some feelings. And I think he needs to talk to an aromantic person Stat. I think it would fix him.
