Roundattractional

Roundattractional is an identity defined as consciously or unconsciously changing the attraction one has towards a specific individual due to a difficulty distinguishing two or more types of attraction. For example, one might be experiencing alterous attraction but they are not sure if it’s alterous or romantic, and it ends up becoming romantic due to the uncertainty.

An individual can identify as just “roundattractional” or as “roundattractional x to y”, where “x” is the original attraction, often found out after it changed, and “y” is the resulting attraction. “x” and “y” can be the combination of multiple attractions.

Flag
The flag is made out of two main colours: black for the left side, symbolising the uncertainty of the initial attraction(s), and white for the right side, representing the knowledge and certainty of the resulting attraction(s). In the middle of the flag there’s a rainbow chevron where the colours symbolise all the possible types of attraction one can feel, and the chevron symbolises the transformation. The flag was designed by the FANDOM user 1MoreUser on October 19th, 2021.

Etymology
The word has been formed by joining the noun ‘attraction’ and the verb ‘to round’, because the process is similar to rounding a number: the individual is experiencing a feeling between two or more attraction types, but it end ups rounding the feeling to one (or more) of them.
