Normal that i rather stay single?

Yes, some people just prefer being single, myself included. I love the freedom of being single. I can do what I want when I want, make all of my decisions without having to compromise for anyone else or make sure they are also okay with them, have my own money and home, and have plenty of alone time and peace and quiet (which are essential for me; I really just need a day per week to unwind and "recharge"). Also, no relationship drama, etc.

I ended up realizing after two relationships that what I really enjoy is a close friendship, and if I took away everything out of a relationship that I didn't like or wasn't interested in, it was essentially just a close friendship. It took me way too long to figure this out about myself, but I've much enjoyed just spending time with friends and family and then having my quiet time at home.

Perfectly normal, especially for introverts.

Have you dated before?

I want to be single right now for sure.

In a way I always do, but it's more like I don't actively want to date just to do it. I've never once gone on a blind date or dating site or thought like, "Time for me to go out and get a new girlfriend."

It's more like I just live my life single by default and am perfectly fine like that but occasionally I coincidentally encounter women who make me want to date them somehow. I don't look for them though.

EDIT: You know what? That's an unintentional lie. I've said that like 5 times on here but it just dawned on me that I did sort of go on what was a blind date for me via a random double date back when I was 18 but it was just to help someone out. I'd completely forgotten that.

Yes,its honestly draining when you're an introvert cause you don't want people around all the time.You want space and unfortunately with a relationship you have to give up solitude for long periods of time.

Not currently in a relationship, never have been and never will be. Doesn't appeal to me and I can't understand loneliness as it is an emotion I have never felt. I don't like, want or need people but I respect your right to be socially inclined so please respect mine not to be.

You can enjoy relationships without being joined at the hip. Maybe you're better without relationships but don't rule them out under the idea you wouldn't be able to have your own time as a consequence.

I have mixed feelings, but the more I read about other people's relationships the more I feel that way. I cant really imagine I would end up in a truly good relationship that I would actually want to be in

I have a single daughter who’s happy that way, but she has many friends and is very involved with my son’s kids. I think you might be overreacting when you say you can’t stand other people. We need human contact as nourishment just as much as we need food for survival.

We are social animals by nature, but however their are some exceptions. If it makes you feel happy to be stay single than go for it.

Normal. If there's a safe way to get seen to and be friends without being shackled to romance and monogamy, I want in.

Me too. I get overwhelmed being around others. I think its normal to want to be alone.

Im with ya but you do have to put yourself out there some what if you want to get your dick sucked or clit licked.

That means you are having a sexual relationship with your hand.
