I feel sort of an ego boost

I am not really interested in relationships, I might be on the aroace spectrum or maybe just too traumatized to take interest on something like that. Or maybe both. But it still feels oddly satisfying when someone is interested in me? I don't mean like seriously interested, if someone wants to form a relationship with me, I'll be flattered but it would always make me feel a bit strange. I mean it more like, in an unserious matter, bc i know they won't get hurt, so. For instance, last week i went out with friends and some of my friends friends (i only knew like 3 people and we were like 14). We went clubbing. In there I kissed (just a peck u know that type thing, u get drunk and are having fun and it just fits the mood) a friend of mine, as in a friends way y'know and, someone told me that another friend of mine got jealous cuz they wanted to kiss me too. And there was this girl i didn't know but she started flirting with me and i found out today that she kinda got a lil crush on me from that night (but like nothing serious she just thought i was cool). And it's like.

I 100% know I don't want a relationship or sex or anything (even if i wanted i think i could not have one bc im not stable enough sometimes and i wouldn't put other people through that), but it still feels good and validating, that people like me/find me attractive.

Is that normal?

    This is normal, compliments are compliments, straight people also sometimes find it flattering when members of their own sex find them attractive.

    Of course you're going to feel an ego boost. This idea that somebody think's you're attractive, whether emotionally or physically, is definitely a compliment to one's ego. Even if you claim not to have any sexual or romantic feelings, it still makes sense that you'd take it as a compliment.

    Yes, getting complimented is an ego boost for literally everyone, everywhere.

    Can someone get me some bleach, please, so I can unread this?

    aroace is a myth. Romantic attraction = sexual attraction.
