Is it normal i wonder if i'm missing out by not having a relationship

100% Normal
9 Comments

The strange thing is I don't really feel either romantically or sexually attracted to anyone nowadays, I have felt both a few years earlier but it kinda just doesn't happen anymore. Yet I still worry if I'm missing out by not having these things in my life, and having never even tried them. I'm also worried I gonna be lonely in my older years when most relatives have passed. I never had either sex or a long term relationship (but have had some short lasting dating and had my first kiss, all several years ago). I'm not sure if I would actually want it if I got it, but I also cant say for sure that I wouldn't.

    I've heard that an unhappy relationship is worse than being single...

      I can second that from experience.

      It’s easy to glorify being in a relationship when you’re single but it’s important to remember that even good ones contain sacrifices and compromises. Use being single as an opportunity to always put yourself first, something that happens far less often when “my” decisions become “our” decisions.

      I completely agree with this. I've actually been much happier while single than I've ever been while in a relationship.

      Yes, it's much better to be alone than with the wrong person!

      That’s a cop out for people not having them, borderline pathetic even.

    I also don't have a desire for a relationship or sex, and the way I see it, if anyone ever comes along to change my mind about staying single (doubtful, but I know sometimes things change), I can give it a try then. But, until then, I have no desire to force myself to do something I really have no desire to because of the "what if". If you're not actually into someone, there's no way you can force yourself to be, and you will only end up miserable. Trust me, I learned that lesson the hard way. It's just a waste of both of your time and unfair to the other person.

    I like to just let things like that flow naturally and if it happens, it happens, and if not, oh well. If you're currently happy, there's no reason to try to change anything.
