You might find you fit under the aromantic umbrella, if you're looking for others in your situation. It's certainly a valid state to be in, and I hope that not having to seek out romantic relationships has made your life more fulfilling.

What I'd caution (or what I found particularly irritating in the comment I initially replied to) was implying that one is superior and all others are vacuous shells of human beings, which just comes across as pompous and arrogant.

I don't think it makes me better than anyone. Sorry if my comment came across that way. If anything I think it makes me an asshole. I just can't really do anything to change that about myself other than bow out of the dating game.

Oh don't worry -- I didn't get that from your comment! Only the original one I replied to. And I don't think having difficulty with romantic relationships or necessarily friendships makes you an asshole. I hope you're able to find what makes you happy.
