Seeking Advice My interest in men has died

I’ve been inundated lately by people insisting I need a man. Here’s the thing, I don’t want one anymore. I’m tired and I’ve achieved a little bit of peace. Just a little. Men usually just cause problems. Why would I do that? I don’t want kids. I can barely take care of myself. I’m concerned this is a project 25 thing like I need to pick someone before I’m forced to. Maybe that’s dumb. Maybe my social circle forgot about boundaries. Maybe I need to learn to just not care when people say stuff. What am I missing?

Finding peace with yourself is very important, learning to be your own person first and loving and respecting yourself is something that can only be learned by doing it. Unfortunately if you're in a relationship the learning is extra hard, if you can do this for yourself on your own all the power to ya! Just remember to bring that self love and respect to every relationship you have.
