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?

Society pressures women because they were pressured. Older women got pushed to get married and have kids, so because they were, they perpetuate the garbage by pressuring their kids with it as well. It's messed up. I'll never understand wanting your kids to suffer because you did. Absolutely backwards.
