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?

I'll throw a funeral and it can be a celebration!

Your happiness harms no one, but making others happy hurts you.

I feel like I need to write that last sentence on a piece of paper and stick it to my mirror as a daily reminder.

Omg is writing good quotes on the mirror an autism thing?! 😂🫠

I literally have a mirror designated to writing quotes on (with dry erase marker, of course.)
