So I always thought that I was asexual (or gray maybe), but not aromantic, because I always wanted a romantic relationship. But I guess that's wrong, because aromantic doesn't mean "not wanting a romantic relationship" but rather "not having romantic feelings towards other people", right?
Now I found the term "fictosexual/fictoromantic" and that's exactly how I feel. I've only ever fallen in love or been attracted to fictional characters. I've had a few relationships with real people and some were even good, but it never felt quite right. I don't think I've ever been in love with any of my ex boyfriends.
So I'm kinda confused now. I guess, fictosexual and fictoromantic are the terms that best describe my feelings. But does that mean I'm not aro/ace? Because technically I do feel romantic and sexual attraction, just not towards real people. But I've also seen fictosexual as a microlabel under the umbrella of asexuality, so I'm confused now.
Also, as I said in the beginning, I really want a real life romantic relationship. But apparently I can't fall in love with real people. Seems like an impossible problem. Anyone else feel that way?

Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." In a statement, the regulator said the search and seizure operation was carried out against seven individuals and one corporate entity at multiple locations in Ahmedabad and Bhavnagar in Gujarat, Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, and Mumbai. Some privacy experts say Telegram is not secure enough The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides.
