15 years. Haven’t had sex in ten years. I don’t miss it either, my sex drive is close to zero.

There was a girl that flirted with me and asked if I could take her out but I didn’t want to. I don’t want to explain to an almost stranger that I’m psychotic and unemployed without any possibility of recovering.

My new policy is not to complain about being single on this forum. Every now and then I vent and I feel like captain bringdown lol.

I’ve been single since age 24. I had a bad experience, took 5 years off dating, then got schizophrenia and refused to try because of the voices. I can’t imagine having sex with constant voices in my head. Also I’ve become significantly less attractive since then due to just aging and the constant stress. Feels like I can’t come back from it, but I probably will eventually if I live long enough to see old age.

it’s been a year for me. i try not to focus on it too much because i know that i need to focus on taking care of myself. i don’t expect anyone else to be able to have the capacity to look after me emotionally, let alone anything else. sometimes, my brain is mean and tells me that i’m ’ too disgusting ’ for anyone to like me that way, however, self-care and keeping pple at arms length seems to be what gets me through all this.

also books. lots and lots of books.

I’ve been divorced and unmarried since 1987. I’ve been without a bf since 2015. I’ve been without a gf since 2021. I’m happier alone.

I’m in my mid-50s and never had a relationship. I went to the prom with somebody so maybe that’s a relationship kind of. I don’t know like I am open to having a relationship with someone. But really I don’t know what I want just to be intimate or sexual or something. Because at the moment I have companions with my parents.
