So I'm twenty, and quite good on most standards.
But, since I can remember, I've never wanted to marry or have kids ever.
I don't like relationships all that much either, even though I've been in a few, most of which wasn't bad at all.
So, is it normal to want to stay alone/single forever?
You are a little bit too young to say "forever", but I think you are normal to feel that way about relationships. Lots of other people do too, you just don't hear about them all the time.
Normal.
You're young, you're still figuring stuff out. Give yourself time to be you.
Not in all! You'll probably find that most people would be content to be alone because then it would be less of a hassle on some fronts, but ultimately more lonely on another front. Who knows? Maybe you'll change your mind once you get older and meet someone you want to be with. And if not? Well, hell, we can be crazy cat people together!
Hell yeah! I'm 19 and all my girlfriends are already planning their weddings, even if they don't like their current boyfriends. I get lots of offers from guys, but I just don't ever see myself marrying. Marriages are HORRIBLE bets now-a-days when you can toss each other away at the drop of a hat, in a culture that encourages infidelity and personal emancipation. Hell, I couldn't even motivate the kids I used to babysit in high school to do things they themselves said they found important and good (finish their homework by a certain time, eat more nutritiously...). I have no delusions about being able to nurture a marriage over decades. And while I'd be willing to put in the work, I'm not betting on anyone else being willing to. And frankly, I really like hanging out by myself.
As for having kids, I'd rather be shot by firing squad. I know these are unpopular opinions, so I should have voted "not normal," but there's nothing at all shameful about our feelings. WTH cares what everyone else thinks about the way we choose to build our lives? Our lives belong solely to us. If I can tell my mom (and I adore her like a living goddess) I'm not getting married or having kids ever, then everyone else can just fall off my tip.
