What about aromantics?
Click to expand...
Well, never met a true aromantic that since birth they reject any kind of relationship (even with mom and dad), just usually people who have been highly disappointed and decide to give up.
That still shouldn't mean that you give up on being the best version of yourself. If anything the purpose of live is the general improvement of the species. A person who's given up I understand because it's really hard to find someone worthwhile in these times, and people in general have become highly selfish which is the reason why lots of people choose to be alone; I myself had a period of time where I thought "If I can' t find someone then I'd rather be alone" and gave up on searching actively, that's when I met my husband, in the least likely of places.
The older people get the harder it is to find someone because they become more selfish. Also, another lie: "relationships are about sacrifice" that's only if you're stupid enough to find someone who has a completely different purpose/goal/dreams/manners/and all the things that can help you guarantee a good long lasting relationship. Mediocrity and settling for whatever you can find in hopes that they will change is NOT the way to go.

Aromantics don´t have relationship issues. We just don´t have any or little romantic attraction to peeps.

Like for example 3 years ago my mom invited everyone in all 2 or 3 of my switch classes to me and my twin’s birthday party and one person came who is still my best friend. The next year we had another and my friend was on a trip with her family so she couldn’t come. Me and my twin invited our friends and only one person who I didn’t really know that well came. So last year we had a sleepover with our friend because I didn’t want no one to come/ or only one person to come again.

You're lucky, when I was in elementary school, my mom being the typical not to bright mom that doesn't quite notice what's going on, would invite each year my classmates that were all bullies (being this another generation, parents didn't usually do what their kids wanted), and since she was such "good friends" with the kid's mothers they would go to another part of the house and the 15-20 kids would pick a turn at bullying me in my own birthday party, when the parents would come along they were all "sweet" little angels, and me (being so alone and insecure thought it was all because I wasn't nice enough or good enough and that's why no one liked me). Years of hell. Till finally, and eventually my mom changed me to another school in high school (still was sort of an outcast) and I decided that I'd not try making friends, there I did manage somehow to find girls that were sort of like me and had a couple of years of fun and happiness. (The inadequacy and insecurity problems are still quite underlying as an adult, but I manage to work on it and obviously I don't have many friends and don't make many friends where I go; just don't trust in people in general).

Well you tell me why you're not attracted to people. I would term that anatural because sex drive and not diying alone is what drives any common human being into seeking a relationship. But your reasons maybe something personal, underlying, something to do with your childhood or how you've been treated; in every "label" there are exceptions to the rule.
Which is why I think labeling is wrong, my grandmother used to say that when she was young (we're talking about 1920-30) no one suffered from depression because no one had invented the term so no one really mulled over if they were depressed or not, maybe you got sad and then you brushed it off and continued life. These new generations (and I include mine) have had been so sheltered, have been through little hardship (not like in the past, my great grandmother went through the Mexican Revolution, she lived in Mexico City and said people dropped down dead in the streets because of hunger; both my great grandmother and grandmother had their husband's abandon them because they had another wife; my grandmother studied and graduated from biological pharmaceutical chemistry and worked several jobs to raise 4 kids), that we crumble at the littlest of problems. Not saying that there aren't people that still go through real hardship, but in general life has become easier.
