Have my feelings or emotions eroded?

Wow, are you me? I'm your 24 yo version kek.

I think it must be important but I've been alone for so long I dont know anymore, maybe we are just kinda defective but in a good way? Like, we don't really need it as much.
It's ok, I don't even want to live past my 70s

Just be strong and if you want friends try to make friends with your same interests, it sucks my interests are all alone-related fucking hell I'd say but meh, life is good anyway and the sun shines all the same

Right there with you. I'm 25 and I guess it's still not too late for us?

>Just how important is having close intimate relationships to being human?
I would say a lot.
By not having the opportunity to exercise empathy and compassion you are pretty much guaranteed to become non human.

>dehumanization
>the process of depriving a person of positive human qualities.

>humanity
>the quality of being humane; benevolence.

>humane
>having or showing compassion or benevolence.

How do I stop it? I feel like I wouldn't even know what to do in a relationship. What do women want from me if anything? Like in my head, I imagine relationships as not a luxury which means people always ALWAYS want something out of them.

I am intensely bothered by not understanding though. The only things that really eat at me in this world is not being able to understand something and being inept at stuff that I feel I should innately know or have instincts about.

We as humans are not born with any intrinsic relationship instincts? At least not anymore it seems. I feel like I would have to read a book or something just to try and figure out how I would make a relationship work. Like I am such a solitary person, what do people in relationships even do?

My other fear is getting into a relationship and the woman getting bored. If I ever get to that point.

>What do women want from me if anything?
Women don't want anything from you otherwise you would have been in a relationship by now.
> what do people in relationships even do?
They do things in a way that requires more than 1 person to do.
If you are old as you say you are then you have to consider accepting who you are (a non human) and move on with your life.
If you don't you will be crippled from functioning even more than now which is surely even worse.

This is kinda brutal for advice don't you think?

Also, none of this was by choice. I never actively shunned women. Women have done a number on me though which I don't mind but it's not like I am turning down 30 women a day.

Lord Garithos would behead you for what you are.
Anyway, responsibility for your romantic/social life was yours all along, you just didnt have anyone to tell you that I suppose.
You can give up control over your life, but you are always 100% responsible for it.
In almost every situation you have 3 options: Shape the situation in accordance to your liking, shape yourself in accordance with the situation or walk the fuck away and move on.
So dont shift the blame(Looking backwards and on others) on women, but acknowledge your responsibility(Look forwards and to yourself) think of what you can do yourself so you dont become an inhuman.
Or just accept what you are and move on to other things.
