Is it normal to just not be the "relationship type"

87% Normal
10 Comments

I'm 22 and a male living in Alaska. I've never been the relationship type with my low sex-drive and favor of solidarity. It's not that I dislike people, but to talk to someone every single day would be exhausting. I'm set for life moneywise so I spend all my time volunteering and researching and going on expedition trips with small groups. I live with my 6 dogs, 2 cats, parrot, and my 2 rats. I really rather keep to myself, and I'm very cynical when it comes to romance and love.

Maybe I just haven't met someone special yet, but I almost don't want to. I enjoy being by myself, and whenever I get close with someone I become very possessive and selfishly cruel. I don't like the idea of my partner having friends, which has been the demise of every one of my failed relationships.

I'm starting to just think that dating isn't for me and I should just stick with what I have going.

    Well, if you're possessive and selfishly cruel then it's probably best that you're not the relationship type.

    Honestly? You seem like a good guy, but If I met you somewhere and fancied you, but you then told me you had such a zoo in your house, i'd get scared

      Lol! I'm an animal behaviorist and almost always have rescue/foster bears, rabbits, caribou, wolves, foxes, etc. at my home with me for a few days at a time. I'm a bit whacko but it's pretty neat

    It sounds as if that's normal for you

    I was the same way until I met my former best friend. I'm the quiet lonely and cynical type. Yet she had me talking for hours every week. It was the best part of my life

    If you find yourself having mood swings and low energy, coupled with your low sex drive, there's a very big chance you have low testosterone. Get your blood work done.

    Your possessiveness issue is more mental. Read 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' and get a better understanding of that bitterness you feel.

        Have you got it checked recently? I'd recommend it next time you're at your doctor's.
