Is it acceptable to not want a relationship of any sort?

I'm a 29 year old straight male and I can't see any reason why I would want a relationship. I don't want children, I don't enjoy sex, my options are limited to people I don't like and I require a lot of alone time to be able to function (I'm very introverted). Most people seem to think there's something wrong with me but I just don't want to be with anybody. Literally nothing motivates me to want a relationship or marriage. I didn't even date until I was 26 and although I managed to have a six month relationship I was miserable the whole time because she was a terrible match for me and when we had sex I couldn't finish or even enjoy it despite her having much more experience in that department. Should I feel bad about any of this?

    Same here dude. Currently 26, never been with anyone and lack the desire to. Somehow I feel like there's something "wrong" with that though. But at least you have actually given it a shot and know it's not your thing. What is there to feel bad about? Not meeting society's expectations? Or do you kinda wish you had someone who's a better fit for you?

      It's really that I just hate being perceived as an outcast. I do sometimes wish somebody who would be a good match would be interested in me but that hasn't been my experience. Most people seem to settle for somebody who will increase their social status despite the relationship having obvious flaws and I just don't want that for myself. Unfortunately that means I'll be perceived as abnormal but from the look of things I'll be happier this way.

    You're asexual. Some people are just their own best company.
