Is it normal that i want to remain single for the rest of my life?

I'm single and I don't want to ever get involved with romance. I just don't have the desire or interest in getting a partner. I don't want to ever have a partner because I don't want to deal with drama, arguments, having to compromise, and worrying whether or not my partner truly loves me or not. Most importantly, I don't want to risk ever getting hurt or betrayed. I'm worried that I wouldn't be a good enough partner either. That and I'm happy and content being single. IIN?

    Yes it's normal but society and certain people look at people like you and call you selfish. Just ignore them because most are just mad about who they got stuck with.

    I guess it's normal. And yeah in the end you won't be getting hurt.

  • I can relate to this. I don't understand why so many people are obsessed with finding a relationship. I've had a couple girlfriends before but I wasn't looking for one when they happened and for me it takes a long time to get attached to somebody to where I would concider dating them. When I'm single I have no intrest in dating. I don't think anyone will ever meet my standards anyways. There is much more to life than finding romance.

    I'm the same way as you, but I never thought of this as normal. I see most people I know wanting to get married or find a boy/girlfriend. But because of something I go through, it prohibits be from dating anyone, and as a result, I don't want to date. I don't know your reason for not wanting any romance, but I kind of know what you mean.

    Yeah, I guess it's pretty normal. There are a minority of people who do not prefer any sort of romantic love, and are content with their asexual lives. I just wish I could do the same.

    What a sad, empty life you are going to have. All those things you don't want to happen to you are life! The heartaches and ecstasy of interpersonal relationships are the bedrock of emotional well-being.
    I pity you and those who agree with you. You all will miss so very much and since you only get one shot at life, yours will pretty much be wasted if it is spent alone, unloving, unloved, unwanted, cared for or cared about.
    How sad.
