Anyone else here grew up with the mindset that not having romance or friends was pretty much determined? I just never even considered it, and now I've completely abandoned the idea of ever having a companion. The default state to me is loneliness, having someone else would be outside the norm and unnatural to me. I guess that's as good as I can explain it. I'd probably feel bad about this if I was a different person, but I can't really muster enough feeling to get upset about it. I think I cried about it a dozen times or so as a kid, and that was it. It's kind of liberating, it's also a bit depressing. I can't see myself living any other way though, I don't even think I could be happy with a normal life.
