The term describes those who struggle to tell the difference between different types of attraction, such as romantic, aesthetic, or sexual. Experts explain it is “not about confusion, but about how neurodivergent brains process attraction differently.”
Many who identify as nebulas**ual share their stories online. One person wrote: “Finding this term was like finally having words for the fog I’ve been living in.” Others describe how intrusive thoughts or ADHD make it hard to know what their feelings really mean.
The identity has its own flag, inspired by the Crab Nebula, with green, orange, and white colors. Advocates say having symbols and language helps people feel “seen, valid, and understood.” Mental health professionals are also beginning to acknowledge the term.
For some, nebulas**uality offers comfort and clarity in understanding themselves. Do you think new identities like this help people feel more connected—or create unnecessary labels?
