New Sexuality Label!

I couldn't find a label to fit me, so I made my own.

Egoromantic

Flag:

Definition:

Egoromantic: A person who experiences romantic attraction, but whose feelings may or may not include the desire for reciprocation or a romantic relationship. Egoromantic individuals may experience fluctuations in their desire for reciprocation or a relationship, and their romantic feelings may be primarily internally focused.

Meaning of the flag colours:

Purple: often associated with royalty and self-importance, which represents the self-focused nature of egoromantic feelings. Pink: a common colour for romantic attraction, but a lighter shade represents the fluctuating nature of egoromantic desires. Grey: a neutral colour that represents the ambivalence or uncertainty that egoromantic individuals may feel towards reciprocation or relationships. Black: a bold colour that represents the independence and individuality of egoromantic people.

Commonly asked questions:

where does Egoromantic fall on the sexuality spectrum?

Based on the definition provided, Egoromantic seems to fall under the aromantic umbrella. This means that it is a label that describes someone who experiences romantic attraction in a non-normative way, which in this case means a fluctuating desire for reciprocation or a romantic relationship. However, it's important to remember that labels and categories are just tools to help us understand and communicate our experiences, and not everyone may feel that Egoromantic (or any other label) perfectly fits their identity. What matters most is that you feel comfortable and empowered by the label you choose to use.

You could say that egoromanticism is a specific type of greyromanticism, or that it falls under the broader umbrella of the aromantic spectrum.

Is being Egoromantic selfish?

Being Egoromantic is not inherently selfish. While the label does emphasize a self-focused approach to romantic attraction, it's important to remember that there are many different ways to experience and express romantic feelings, and not all of them involve wanting or needing reciprocation or a traditional romantic relationship.

It's perfectly valid for someone to prioritize their own needs and desires when it comes to romantic feelings, as long as they're honest and open with the people they're attracted to. In fact, being honest about your feelings and desires can be a sign of respect for others, since it allows them to make informed decisions about how they want to engage with you.

That said, it's always important to be considerate of other people's feelings and needs as well. Just because you're Egoromantic doesn't mean you should ignore or dismiss the feelings of the people you're attracted to.
