Aplatonic, abbreviated Apl (pronounced as "apple") is a term that is used most commonly by a-spec individuals that do not experience platonic attraction or by those who do not relate to the concept of platonic love.
The term has also been used by neurodivergent aromantics (particularly those with a schizophrenia spectrum disorders) and traumatized aro people, who might not desire friendship or other platonic relationships.
Aplatonic does not refer to someone who simply "doesn't have friends" or "doesn't want friends", rather it describes someone who does not experience "platonic crushes" or "squishes" like some a-spec people do. Some aplatonic people may still have strong platonic bonds (though not all desire strong platonic relationships), however they never experience a strong desire to be friends with someone in particular, or feel as though the term "love" can be applied to the relationship

dude: can aplatonics have relationships
girl : yes, non platonic relationships such as alterous or queerplatonic relationships are a thing. Even then, aplatonics can form friendships, but they simply don't have a desire to form platonic relationships with someone.

Someone who isn’t capable of reciprocating care for others and trying to hide their personality deficiencies behind an LGBTQ identity.
I’m aplatonic. You can give me all of the benefits of friendship and I don’t have to give you anything in return. So valid and queer!

People who may want the benefits of friendship but don’t want to make the return efforts of being a friend. They also don’t care about any friends they may somehow have. For some reason they want to believe this is a valid LGBTQ identity.
I’m a shitty friend that doesn’t care about others; please give me an aplatonic pride flag. Being aplatonic is just like really being LGBTQ, tee hee!

Anon × platonicfree of sexuality and relational romanticness
~ a double negative meaning more sexual or more romantic than people would necessarily realise if the word weren't used.
Content warning for sexual harrassment You can say until the cows come home that you aren't coming onto me, but you've already said and done multiple aplatonic things, so you needed to back off a long time ago.

Having no intimate feelings for others, especially those one has sexual relations with. Many would describe being aplatonic as stupid and often cruel. Aplatonic people typically lack a common moral compass and truly believe it to be a sexual orientation. Anyone they have sex with is purely for their own personal pleasure.
