There's nothing wrong with you, OP. I didn't experience romantic attraction until I was 13 and I experienced no sexual attraction until at least 17. It is possible that you are asexual. Here is a link to a good resource with more information about that.

Regardless of what you are don't worry about it. Not everyone is the same and that's okay.

OP didn't say she(?) never felt attraction to people -- quite the contrary. She said that she can never *tell* anyone about the people she finds attractive. Which I would say sounds a lot more like shyness or fear of bad reactions than asexuality. (I kind of feel like people are way too quick to give a diagnosis of asexuality in general these days, but that's a whole other rant that I may not actually be justified in.)

OP

I appreciate you trying to help, anon, but I'm 100% positive I'm not asexual, although I see how it may seem so, even to people around me. I get attracted to people irl, or to fictional characters, actors..like most of the other people do I guess. I can't express it, I can barely do it online. There are plenty of people I just find cute or likeable - if it's a guy, I can't talk about it. I'm now 28, and I still haven't figured out why's that...even my Mum can talk about it freely.

I feel you, OP. Especially some more. . .graphic slang language. Even though I know someone's, idk, panties didn't literally melt, it squicks me, and I definitely couldn't say something like that out loud. (cringed a bit typing it, honestly.) The most I can say is something like so and so has nice hands or I like the sound of their voice and even that makes me a little squirmy. Partly for me, I'm sure it's wrapped up in feeling that I am unattractive myself, and seeing years of TV etc where it's HIGH-LARIOUS that a less attractive (especially a less attractive and overweight) woman openly expresses attraction or desire, especially to or about an attractive man.

Mostly I tend not to gravitate towards fandoms/parts of fandoms where that's a big or unavoidable part of the chatter, so I don't have any good advice, although I think if people are actually offended that you aren't more graphic/enthusiastic on this particular topic, that says more about them than you.
