does anyone else not actually feel the need to connect with others?
i keep on telling people this, but every time i tell them, they tell me that i must be mistaken, that there must be some reason why i'm wrong about myself and that i am not actually like this.
I do not feel the need to connect to other people.
i have learned to care about people in an intellectual way, but i have never felt the need to connect with others. when i was a small child, this bothered me because i was told i was supposed to love god. i had no desire and felt no need to love god, and i though i was doomed to hell. i realized then that other people had a feeling that was beyond their control to need to connect. i never felt this. it is not something that can be changed about me, it is not something that has been suppressed.
I do not have a need to connect to others.
it is not that i think i do not, i never have felt the need to connect. never. i never felt any sort of longing or wish, for people i knew, or even for the idea of a companion. i have felt attraction to people, and also a slight emotional attraction cause by my natural urge to reproduce, but i never felt the need to connect with them. people will tell me that i am wrong, that every human has a basic need to connect with others, and i must just not have met the right person. but i know, that if i was the only person in existence, or somewhere i would never have the possibility to meet another person, i would not feel like anything was missing. i would be content to be left alone forever. people cannot understand this, so they think i am either arrogant, or edgy. they tell me that it is a basic human need, and that every human feels it.
does anyone feel this, or rather, have the lack of feeling?
