I’m at the cliff of dating

I’ve never really been in a relationship. I’m 25 and it’s never really bothered me. Well it’s been up and down. Sometimes it bothers me and sometimes it doesn’t. I think it bothers me when people think it should. I’m starting to realize that I might be getting lonely. I think about dating and meeting new people but I don’t want a relationship. I hate expectations and I love being alone too much. I love being independent and I’m selfish. I don’t know it’s been giving me anxiety lately.

@Shyness98

Perhaps it gives you anxiety when other ask or put the thought that you Should be dating or in a relationship........

i know easier said then done but it is none of their business .............there is no rule or guideline that says ......you must be dating / relationship etc by a certain age etc.... People often IMO make bad choices when trying to conform to these ideas that i need a partner everyone says so.... let it happen naturally ....... not trying to fit a narrative.

Thank you for validating me. I think that’s what I wanted to hear. That it’s okay to move at your own pace. I’ve been through a bit of trauma in my life and it hindered me in the relationship department. I’m doing the best with what I can and that’s all that matters.
