Relationships

It was once considered praiseworthy, within the tradition of eremitic monasticism. Essentially, being away from others was thought to bring a hermit monk closer to God.

In general, humans are an extremely social species, as are all great apes, so having no desire for social relationships is unusual.

I feel the pull towards monasticism, maybe at some point I will live like that, but not now and maybe not in this life.

In Christian monasticism it was considered worthy but most still desired romantic or close human relationships, yet they chose to embrace ‘higher causes’.

I'm friendly to most and friends with few and this is how I like it. I certainly want no more romantic relationships, menopause look my libido and without that I don't see the point of a relationship, they're more trouble than they're worth.
