I'm 23 and I decided to stay on my own forever when I was 16. I just lead my life the way I want, go to college, don't bother anyone nor get into other's peoples lives.
However, a few close friends who know this (especially females) say I'm missing out and yet they are always in trouble with their boyfriends/girlfriends. Always arguing and getting mad at each other, breaking up all the time and getting together again. Then we go out together as a group and they should up with a bad face and you know they fighted again and again.
So it's hard to understand what I'm exactly missing out.
If you don't think or feel like you are missing out, then why do you care what they think? Furthermore, why are you on the "relationship" board? asking us what we think? Are you having doubts about what you wanted seven years ago when you were just a kid? You do know that it's ok to change your mind about what your mindset was as a teen. In fact, we almost have to change the way we think. Otherwise, we'll never grow up . Most likely, your twenty, thirty or even forty year old self won't even remember how you thought back then, or why. Perhaps all of that was good for you at that time, but (and perhaps this is what your friends are thinking) people change what they want as they age. Maybe, you are realizing that your once young 16 year old self didn't or couldn't exactly know what was best for her in the future.
I almost always order a chocolate based dessert, despite many people trying to convince to try other desserts.
I'm happy with chocolate, and I don't care what other people think. Because I'm happy, I don't feel I'm missing out, and therefore..... I'm not.

I hardly see that. And I'm not just referring to my generation.
Don't judge what you might or should want by what you see from others in your life. Everything is not so black and white. Maybe you are just scared, and therefore, you are defending your observations to the fullest because it's better than realizing that some people actually might have good relationships. Something for whatever reason your mind just does not want to recognize/ accept. Because it goes against what "arguments" you are making.

It's just odd they would say something like this when they are living proof that I'm not. No, I haven't changed my mind and will never will. I was just wondering about it.

P.S. I'm a man.
Well, I've heard many people in my life say that they do not want a relationship. I've heard it all before. In their case, it was usually a reason to give to why they were alone. By saying that, you don't have to explain anything to anyone. I'll take your word for it that you are the exception and that you really don't want a relationship. If that's the case, hey go for whatever makes you happy. You don't miss what you have never had. That is very true. Just stay the course though. Because some day, you might run into a woman who will blow your socks off and you will want a relationship. Be wary, we don't always control our own fate. Sometimes that little rotten baby cupid just throws those arrows around like he or she is juggling. Watch for what you ask for. You might just get it and then what you thought you wanted just went out the window.
