Is it normal to avoid relationships & dating?

Is it normal to avoid relationships & dating because you feel your life is stressful enough? Like on top of everything else in your life the demands of a relationship would be enough to drive you over the edge to the point of insanity? Am I the only one who feels this way?

    It's up to you; it's your life, and your choice of course! I always say it's better to be alone than be with the wrong person. 🙂👍🏻

    Relationships are demanding so if you don't feel it's the right time now then that's ok.

    Casual sex and hook ups until you find someone you want to be serious with. Being sexually deprived is no fun either.

    I feel that way too. My observations of society say it’s not normal, but in your situation do what you’re comfortable with. If it’s the last thing u wanna deal with so be it
    If you want one but have deep anxiety or trust issues about it would be concerning though

      What if one wants sex without the baggage of a relationship?

        Get a one night stand I guess? Or tinder.
        Like I said without deep trust issues but actually good reasoning there is nothing wrong with it
        People feel different about sex and relationships. Many people put great meaning into sex, many don’t, so you might feel it is something you can’t live without, another things it’s something one doesn’t necessarily needs
        The same with relationships
        If you haven’t had some kind of sexual abuse in your past or some other problems related to that it’s probably just your biological drive

          I was more talking bout OP but whatever. I do do hook ups and I do do casual sex. Monogamy has never been in the cards for me, I seriously think I'm too horny for that.

    I always say that I'm better off alone. Hell, I can't keep friendships cause I usually sabotage them. It's like an urge to stop communicating with people when they already know too much about me.

      Same here. But I have suspicious thoughts about them. When they now a lot then I have this feeling that they are using this info in order to manipulate me. And then I get deffencive as fuck.
