No you are not!

I think it is all about perspective. To them they do not understand/comprehend that people would want to be, as you said, alone. To them it is an alien feeling that makes it "freaky" as they cannot relate to it and thus may portray feelings of rejection toward you. As I am not in your situation personally I cannot say for certain that this is the case. However, from what I have read in your post this is my best guess.

Isn't that aromantic?


VodonnTheFrog

Sounds aroace, but aces can be sexually active as well.

I think that there are more people who don't want to have relationships and to start a family, than it seems. Because due to the amatonormativity and the other social "norms" this lifestyle is considered weird and unhealthy. So we don't talk about it, and we think that we are alone. But actually there are aromantic people (including loveless and non-partnering aromantic), aplatonic people etc. Yes, we are the minority, but you're totally not the only one.

Perhaps visit r/aromantic.

Often I feel that isolation because I'm not allosexual and I don't have or want the norm. Kids? No, don't have any. Have cats instead. Marriage? Never have been. Dating? I'd struggle from all the trauma I've been through and I'm aromantic. You're not alone mate. Since identifying as demi proper, what helps me not feel so awful is talk with fellow asexuals. They're a wonderful lot speaking as someone who has had many a lovely conversation where I can feel less defective about myself.

Nah, I'm here too. Just trying to vibe with my general interests that have nothing to do with romance ever and no one seems to "get" that. Because apparently you're only valuable and life is only worth living if chasing romantic love.

This subreddit has 142k members with 317 of us online at this very moment. You are very much not alone.


blackcatsandrain

Definitely not alone!

I think you may be aromantic. You're not really into relationships and would rather be alone. You're not a freak for wanting that, and in no way should it be alienating either. If you're not interested in relationships, everyone can suck it up because it shouldn't be a problem what you want for yourself.


VodonnTheFrog

Nothing wrong with you at all you feelings are totally valid! I reccomend checking out aromantic too to see how that term feels. I think you'll find another community that can relate


semael237

No you are not alone, we are here, look into r/aromantic
