Is it normal to not be interested in relationships above friendship

I don't try (or want) to put in effort in a romantic relationship. I find it difficult to understand why people seem to be obsessed with it in my high school. I would say it was just a faze but it been going on for about 8 years. The people I have tried or have dated , I was kinda using to get my friend attention. Witch wasn't a nice thing to do. I don't think I am asexual.

    Some people don't want to be in relationships, and some people do.

    I was never interested in relationships in high school either. I've been out of high school for over a year now and I still haven't been interested in finding a relationship. I just find it better if I focus on my life at the moment until I can get a stable job and a place of my own.

      I can admire that. If I woke up tomorrow, and had to do it all over again I like to think things would be different, but I dunno. I sometimes think I'm really different from other people in this way where I just can't fit in or be whatever they expect me to be. Yanno?

      Yeah, I wasn't either, and even most of the people I refer to as an "ex" weren't really like a real relationship either. We would just have sex or hang out together a lot. I mean technically the only like traditional relationships I had were with two people, one when I was 13 and one when I was in my 20s. All the rest were weird uncomplicated agreements that we would have sex occasionally and/or hang out together. One woman that I refer to as having "dated" we didn't actually ever have sex, we kinda lived together for a couple years, did everything together except sex like watch movies, cooked, went shopping and we even kissed some but she was having sex with someone else the entire time and they literally just met up to go at it two or three times a week and then we did all the fun stuff together, we both told everyone we were together and met each others parents and everything.

      Another girl I dated we did nothing but have kinky sex and didn't do anything else together, we even agreed before hand that there wouldn't be any like relationship stuff happening and there never was and I awkwardly met her mother one day when she dropped by and used her key to let herself in and found us doing..things..together and then had to explain that we just had fun and weren't dating...which her mom was upset about so then I got to awkwardly meet her dad as her "boyfriend" but I showed up in a sweater dress and leggings and kinda caused more problems...so...Yeah...

      Sometimes not wanting relationships is fine!
