I just hate the idea of committing myself to one person for all eternity. In fact, I want to be a virgin all my life.
Dating: I really don't see why its such a big deal. I express ZERO interest in dating. I prefer being by myself.
Relationships:I really don't care for relationships with anybody.

P.S.- the reason I probably dislike all of the afermentioned from above is because I'm extremely independent. I don't need anyone to be there for me. I can depend on myself.

So, do you think its normal to dislike these things.

Sure it is. As long as your dislike doesn't negatively effect your life or those around you. Do what makes you happy. If that's staying single, then do it.

I don't know that "independence" is the issue.



But do what you want, hon.

Different strokes for different folks, OP. Do your thing. Who cares if it's normal or not? It's right for you, that's all that matters.

do what makes you happy, and you don't EVER have to justify, defend, rationalize, or explain your behavior to anyone. EVER.

if you don't want to date, be in relationships, be intimate, then don't. your happiness and peace of mind are what is most important, it's your life and your happiness, no one else's.

throw out "is this normal" lines of thought, and replace it with "what brings me contentment, peace of mind, happiness, joy". focus on "is this a should or a want to" and throw out the "shoulds" and focus on the "want tos" and it is what YOU WANT not what others want. tell yourself often "don't should on me"

Default oh boy... the "independent" word

lol

op, why don't you hit that edit button and type what you REALLY want to type

"independent" is a euphamism for lonely and bitter

and in the political world "independent" is a replacement word for democrat or republican for people that are ashamed to state their true political affiliation

let's be real here

Yes, its normal. If you're a bitter person.

What's the real issue here OP?

Someone break your heart?

Not getting the guys/girls you want?

Don't know how to be happy by yourself?

It's okay....we've all been through it.

if a person has a yearning desire to spend time alone, then it is for a very valid reason. when a person spends time alone it allows quiet space to hear their own thoughts, their own inner voice, their own heart's desires, introspection, self-reflection, all very valuable and important.

if someone is by nature an introvert, then time alone is essential. people who "love to be around people" often criticize and condemn this behavior because they do not understand it or experience it themselves

I don't know. I want to think "bitter" too, but this poster could just be asexual and a bit of a loner. The combination meaning no real desire.
