Is it normal i don't like being in relationships?

I recently broke up with my girlfriend of a few months (I am a girl, bi) because I couldn't deal with her emotional problems. She accused me of being a detached sociopath. My relationships have all ended similarly. Once my sig. other starts using the word "girlfriend" or says they love me, I feel turned off. Is it normal to not like relationships because they are claustrophobic?

    I do this too. As soon as it becomes "official" I freak out. Always have, since I was a teenager. To deal with this I just avoid the "what are we?" conversation. I usually date guys for a few months before they finally want to talk about the relationship status.
    I've broken up with guys after like 2 hours of being "official"...it's like I'm a high schooler.

  • yeah i dislike relationships aswell i have only been in two and i really couldnt call them relationships.
    some of us prefer being a solo act and just cant love in that way.
    i mean iv been told i always have a flirty attitude i dont notice it though and it gets a fair share of girls thinking i like them when in reality i couldnt care less for them

    for some people love relationships arent an option so they prefer not going into relationships unless it helps them survive etc
    believe me i know unless im the only one like this lol

    I"m a bit of a relationship phobic my self, always have been, but I'm still interested in the person. its normal to feel this way but you have to realize that not all people are the same. you just have to go out there and find that right girl (or if you change your mind guys) and go for the best.
    I was always razzed about liking girls there for I was afraid to be in a relation ship with that person. this is compleatley normal.

    how does being a relationship phobic make you a sociopath? seems like a stretch
