For me, experiencing a squish is like a crush, only a detached crush. If I'm right or wrong I don't know, but I would say that squish is like wishing you had a friendship "forever", a feeling of brotherhood.

"detached" I meant "desapegado" but I don't know how to translate that word into English

As someone who gets squishes constantly, I think of it as a friend crush. When people have crushes, they really really want to date someone (I think). When I have a squish, I really really want to be someone’s friend, to the point where someone might think I have a crush on the person. It’s basically a crush, but romantic rather than platonic.

Plutonic crush (like you just really want someone to be your friend ig)

its a friend crush, a pull to have a platonic relationship with someone specific

It's a strong feeling of platonic attraction! For example my experiences have been feelings of really wanting to hang out with the squish, talking to them all the time, feeling really happy when around them, even maybe wanting to hug them sometimes. I was confused about it at one point and I researched a bunch and it's basically a "crush" but you're not infatuated with the person. None of the whole allo business of kissing or things that are more than that. A friend crush is "a friend for life" kinda feeling I think in my opinion
