▲'''Aplatonic''', abbreviated '''Apl''' (pronounced as "apple") is a term that is used most commonly by [[A-Spec|a-spec]] individuals that do not experience [[Platonic Attraction|platonic attraction]] or by those who do not relate to the concept of platonic love.
The term has also been used by neurodivergent [[Aromantic|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.
