How do I avoid the pressures of society telling me to be constantly seeking a relationship?

[Anonymous]

I'm 18. Have never been in a relationship and quite frankly don't ever want to be in one. But I feel constant pressure from everyone else that that's what I need to focus on. It only makes me hate everyone else more than I already do. How can I avoid/ignore this, or do I just have to exclude myself from socializing in order to do so?

You really get that much pressure? Wow, I would just focus on what you want to do, with moving forward on some kind of personal goal or achievement. Figuring out what kind of career path you want and what the first steps are.
