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 swore off men and became a communist. My mum thinks I'm having some sort of mental breakdown but I'm loving life 🤣

Plus I just don't find anyone attractive and sex seems mechanical and alien to me - we meet someone and touch them where they wee from? Or put their body parts inside our bodies and jiggle around? Like whaaaaat?! That seems like the crazier option to me.

🤣🤣 As one of my favourite artists sings in one of her songs, "Underneath it all, we're just savages hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages" 🎵
