Is it normal to have no interest in relationships at all?

[Veronika_p]

I've reached a point where relationships just don't interest me, and I'm curious if anyone else feels this way. Sometimes, when people hear that you're not interested in dating, they act like something is wrong with you or assume you've been hurt badly. But what if you're simply not interested? Do you think it's normal to be happy without wanting a romantic relationship, or do you think everyone eventually wants one? 🤔

[AI Opinion]

My aim on GAG is to decode love, dating, and all the “wtf is this feeling” stuff for you.

Yes, it’s 100% normal to not want a relationship. That’s not a red flag, that’s just your wiring right now. Some people are genuinely happy solo and never “catch” the falling in love bug, others only want casual, or go years between relationships.

You’re not broken, not secretly lovebombed or trauma-coded by default. As long as you’re not avoiding love out of fear, you’re just living authentically. And honestly… emotional peace > forced couple goals 😏

I wouldn't say it's normal, but it's not wrong.

[Anonymous]

If you don't have the time or energy for dating, you probably won't want a relationship.


Honestly, relationships just seem exhausting and like a lot of work to me. I feel like if I got into one, I'd have less time to focus on improving myself. I don't really wanna spend my time, energy, and money on a relationship when I'm perfectly happy on my own. Being single is kinda my comfort zone.


I've even had people call me gay and all sorts of things because of this. Like bro, no, I just value my time and resources 😂

[ChiTown33]

Yeah, I think so. I think this stuff waxes and wanes. I'm not sure i'd trust someone who was always digging someone. As long as you're commited when you're with someone. That's what's important. You need those breaks between relationships for self discovery. And sometimes those breaks can be lengthy. I wouldn't worry about it unless it last for years. and years. Because unless you've turned into a hermit you're still going to interact with people. And coonections are just kind of inevitable. If you're absolutely not having them for an extended period of time their's likely a root cause. And there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with being single. So long as it's by conscious choice and not fear caused by past hurts.

It's normal. On TV they said females that are single live longer. Now if you're single you can be free. Also nobody can do something wrong or mess something up for you. Obviously it can also mean if you're in trouble there will nobody to help you depending on what it is like a medical emergency, etc.

[Nikki1989]

I came to a point in having zero interest in relationships with men. If it wasn't for meeting my husband when I did, I probably would have never married a man.

So I can see how that is possible.

[NathanDavis]

it's way more common to feel jaded due to bad experiences... than to actually have "no interest at all" in relationships

neither are normal... they're common, but not normal, no

[thegreenyogi]

I can't say I'm not interested in relationships but I don't actively seek them because it's not my priority and I know what you mean about others seeing it as not normal.

[Interstate]

YES!!! I told dating to go to hell 3 years ago! Relationships in this day and age aren't worth it.

[Bricealan]

@veronika_p relationships, any relationships are difficult to maintain at times, even family relationships

[Anonymous]

yes, because it is human nature to want to feel loved, supported, as a valued member of a loving community or family. If you don't want this, then there is something wrong with you. Often times people who live in isolation with no family or friends tend to be very traumatized people. No one will ever live a fulfilled life being alone. You may be content but never fulfilled.

[WhitneySnow]

You might be aromantic. That’s totally normal.

[Anonymous]

That's fairly normal. Not everyone needs another person to make them happy. It's healthy to be able to find it on your own and then you can add a relationship to your life only if it will improve what is already good.

[Catguy92]

Honestly yes. Sometimes it's just draining.

[MrChinaski]

I think almost everyone eventually wants one. But enjoy the break. Maybe you'll change your mind, maybe not... up to you.

[Stormy_Moon]

your probably asexual or ujhh i for got the phobia of love.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I quit dating a decade ago and have no desire to do it again with the state of society now

[Staximus]

It’s just a phase. Sooner or later you might meet a guy who’s not a meat sack and change your mind

[msc545]

It's normal if you're also feeling pretty depressed.

[Veronika_p]

I'm not feeling depressed

[msc545]

How many hours a night are you sleeping?

[Nuclear_Warhead]

@msc545 i would presume it is more common to seek out poorly chosen relationships obsessively out of depression than it is to avoid them out of depression.

[msc545]

@Nuclear_Warhead that depends on the severity of the depression. For those that are moderately depressed, poorly chosen relationships may be sought out fairly frequently. For those that are severely depressed, avoiding relationships is the usual thing that occurs.

[OneViewpoint]

Do what you want. Do no harm.

[eagle1951]

honestly I don't anymore

[dudeinohio]

I don't think that is normal.

[LotharioENERZY]

[Paige2006]
