Vegaqueerplatonic (or vegaqp) is an aplatonic spectrum label exclusive to people with avoidant personality disorder (abbreviated as AvPD).
Vegaqueerplatonic is related to Reciproromantic (and other recipro terms) wherein one cannot feel queerplatonic attraction until they know that the other person(s) feels queerplatonic attraction for them.
This is distinct from recipro labels because vega individuals need to be sure of reciprocity due to their AvPD. They also may need to be extremely and unusually confident that the other person’s feelings are real and lasting due to intense fear of rejection and feelings of inadequacy.
Vegaqueerplatonic is a label for individuals with avoidant personality disorder who can’t feel queerplatonic attraction to someone unless they’re completely sure that the person already feels queerplatonic attraction towards them; at which point, the vega person can feel queerplatonic attraction to the other person. Vegaqueerplatonic people need to be certain of this attraction before feeling attraction themself because of the severe fear of rejection and feelings of inadequacy characteristic of people with AvPD.

Etymology
The prefix "Vega" was chosen for this group of terms due to its visibility in the night sky, as visibility is the main component in vega attraction. Additionally, it was chosen because star imagery is commonly used in relation to AvPD.
