I've always had very very low interest in relationships anyway - I value my "alone time" greatly, prefer to not have emotional responsibilities towards other people and never wanted kids / a family. I fell in love exctly once in my life and that woman turned out to be a psycho. I have absolutely no interest in trying that ever again.
15+ years single and comfortable with the situation.
Some of y'all might just be aromantic or asexual. I thought I just had low interest in a relationship until I realized what exactly attraction is.
Same boat about just low interest in relationships, im not very social and dont go out to social events often... and apps are always a bit of a joke to me
Imo im just pretty comfortable being alone, and relationships seem like a lot of extra "work" that i probably wouldn't care for much.. if in the future i met someone and we hit it off then i wouldnt be opposed... but im really not gunna try putting myself out there/force it 😅
Been solo for +5 years
There are people that won't want kids, and some of them are not psychos. Some are introverts also.
:)
My ex was a psycho tho, completely unrelated to whether or not she wanted children. Some context: https://lemmy.world/comment/2313628
