Fellow apl person! Do you associate items with people? Like if you had a friend that really liked giraffes, would you see a giraffe and think of them? I don’t, but my alloplatonic friends do. Wonder if it’s the same for other apl people or if being unable to associate things with people is like an autism thing for me
It depends I think, like if they were really obvious about it then I MIGHT think of them in a passing thought(Not always even under that condition) but if it's something that they've casually mentioned a few times then I might just think of the giraffe and not my friend.
I think of it as more like a "brand" or a "logo" if that makes sense lol. Like how brands will try to get you associate them with a shape or color except for people. Hopefully this is a good enough answer.
