Someone with a little life experience, even if just by watching others, knows that most of the times when everything os going wrong in your life, the people in it usually make it worse.

You must have come from a very screwed up family and relationship background if that is what you have experienced. There's a whole other world out there where people actually help each other out when they are struggling.

BTW, 24 years old, is definitely "just a little life experience". Maybe you should wait until you actually have some significant life experience before you make your final judgment calls.

That's a laugh, pffft! I've expressed my concern about the lack of my love life to people, including family and they don't seem to care

I have nothing against people who are in relationships, everyone knows what's best for them but to me the perfect life would be having a house of my own, full of books and a couple of German shepherds.

I go out for drinks and dinners with friends but nothing makes me stray from my personal goals. I have no baggage, no ex-girlfriend drama or traumas from toxic relationships. It's just me and myself.

I obviously never had sex or been kissed. Even though I'm curious about that, I don't like the endless troubles that might come with that.
This was confusing to read because the thread title reads "Anything wrong with giving up relationships for good in your 20s?"

Shouldn't the title read something like "Anything wrong with avoiding the development of interpersonal relationship skills in your 20's?"

No.
People in their 70's & 80's all over america don't have these skills.
You will be much better off with them, however. Relationships are everything.

You mean we have tea parties with mad hatters and follow rabbits down holes? Or do you mean that we drink things that make us either really big or really small? I'm just trying to figure out how I'm like Alice in Wonderland.

I kind of picture the cute ones here to be like Kristine DeBell's portrayal of Alice in Wonderland. Fantastically sexy.

That's why you and the other poster are better off not associating with others.
