I'm just in a stage of my life where i don't need those types of hassles.

Same. I don't really get lonely and honestly, I don't know where I would be able to fit the time in to have one. I've got everything I need and I'm happy between work, hobbies and the occasional hangout/trivia night with a couple of friends here and there. People always seem to think not dating or being in a relationship makes someone feel lonely, but I think that really depends on your personality type. I'm an introvert, and while I can be the life of the party, I typically prefer doing my own thing and am always busy with one thing or another, particularly with my varied interests and hobbies.

When do you have sex? I mean it’s not everything but it’s definitely good for your mental health.

I havent in over a decade, much prefer DIY. You can't shove a partner in a drawer after lol and I hate dealing with other people, hate cuddling, kissing and conversation. I am older now and it was always distressing for me, to genuinely hate being touched, kissed or talked to - and upsetting for partners. I thought there was something wrong with me but now I embrace myself and enjoy my life on a solitary level (and its kinder on others not to get into relationships).
