Why does my attraction to people feel so tied to their energy and interests, not just looks?

I’ve always thought I was pretty straightforward in who I’m attracted to - usually based on physical appearance. Lately, though, I’ve noticed that what really pulls me in is someone’s vibe, like their passions, humor, or the way they light up talking about something they love. It’s less about traditional looks and more about how they make me feel when we connect on those levels. This has me questioning labels I used to feel comfortable with. I’m not sure if this is more about emotional attraction, romantic attraction, or something else entirely. I’ve tried reflecting on what draws me to people, but it feels like the usual categories don’t quite fit. Even people I wouldn’t normally consider ‘my type’ become really magnetic if their energy clicks with mine. Has anyone else experienced attraction that’s more about personality energy and shared interests than physical traits? How do you make sense of that when it comes to understanding your own orientation or identity? Any thoughts on navigating relationships when attraction feels so fluid and hard to pin down?
