Does anyone else not necessarily have much concern for things like family, having a family, getting a significant other in whatever sense, and possibly maybe even friends in the traditional way? Not necessarily fervently avoiding them outright (although due to various things I guess you could say I am), and still having interactions with people whenever necessary, convenient or maybe even pleasant (depending on what counts as those things for you all), but really just not seeing the point of bonds that overstay their welcome, or usually turn out to be sour/regrettable, all of that stuff.
Of course, I wouldn’t say that healthy relationships aren’t possible for any of those things, but it still feels like nowadays I don’t want to get to know someone for “the sake of it”. With something so imprecise, planning to form lasting connections with the people around you in your physical environment that you didn’t necessarily choose so well (such as your neighbors depending on where you are located I’d guess), it just doesn’t make that much sense to me. I would argue that it never did, really. Same goes for things like marriage, especially after seeing how badly that can turn out, logically to me it feels like shooting my foot in a sense. It really brings to mind, if these bonds you are just born with instead of actively choosing for yourself can end up so detrimental some of the time, it’s hard to have any hesitance in terms of discarding them depending on your situation. Sometimes, a lot of these interactions just end up hurting both parties due to how emotionally fueled they are, and how that corresponds with a bit of irrationality (I assume) based on what I’ve seen even if it wouldn’t necessarily cause it.
Yet another one of my “bold things” I say that I will have to add to the list this time, but I don’t see the point of the above three or four groups. I feel like my life would be happier without them, and, yeah, I’m kind of assured it would be. Speaking specifically about the significant other thing, I don’t necessarily feel attraction towards other people, nor would I want to but it’s mainly the first thing. Not once have I felt like I should “get with” somebody or whatever you call it, some people propose those things and in my case you just hold it off, saying “give it a few more years” (which I shouldn’t do in such a situation most likely) or just flat out decline, not necessarily due to the person but because you don’t want to know them that way. In my case once again, I don’t want to know anybody that way. Thank the lord I don’t.
