Is it normal to not believe in love?

I have never been in love. I'm not even sure i believe in it. I don't believe in marriage, because no matter what eventually you fall out of love. This doesn't come from a family divorce. My parents are still together and don't have the kind of fights other families do.

I have never had a boyfriend I really liked. There was someone who I liked off and on for two years, but I stopped liking after we hooked up. He left for the rest of the summer and couldn't or wouldn't be my boyfriend. I know that was the logical thing to do I probably would have done the same thing, but it made me somehow think he didn't care about me enough. I have never liked someone as much since, and I never liked anyone as much before him. Is this a case of once bitten twice shy?

The problem is I have always had a problem letting people know I liked them romantically and even as a friend. I am never sure if people really like me or not. Sometimes I feel as if none of my friends really like me, and I am incredibly lonely. What the hell? Is there some kind of mental illness this qualifies for? Does anyone know why I'm like this?

    I completely agree with you!! I never actually thought anyone else thought that way. I don't believe in love to that respect because people end up hurting each other and cheat. But I think it's normal to love your parents? And siblings? We think alike; I'm a guy by the way...

    Also, I forgot to add that you do not have a mental illness from what I can tell. Your "friends" probably don't deserve you. Maybe you should look into different places. Personally, I do not make friends unless I think they are the right fit for me; which happens to make me picky. I'm a nice person and all, but I just like certain people...
