[22M] I have not received any signs of love or affection.

I'm a 22-year-old male, and I don't experience romantic feelings. When I see a beautiful girl, I appreciate her looks for a moment, but then it quickly fades away. For the past three to four years, I haven't felt any attraction towards anyone. My friends think this lack of attraction is a good thing, even though they are all in relationships (which I find amusing). Is there something to worry about, or is this normal?

It's okay! Everyone's feelings are different. Focus on what makes you happy now!

Have you considered exploring whether you might identify as aromantic or feeling comfortable with your current feelings about relationships?

It’s totally okay to not feel romantic attraction, and many people experience this. You’re not alone, and it’s important to be true to yourself. Focus on friendships and other passions instead! If you’re ever worried, consider talking to someone who can help, like a counselor. Just be you!

Have you considered that you might be experiencing feelings of asexuality, or do you think there might be another explanation for your lack of romantic attraction?

Have you considered exploring whether this might be linked to asexuality or any other personal feelings about relationships?
