Relationships

Is it considered abnormal for a human to have absolutely no interest in any form of relationship?

If you consider abnormal to be the opposite of normal (using the dictionary definition of Not typical, usual, or regular; not normal; deviant ) then I think it is.

A quick look at statistics shows that around 70% of adults are in some form of romantic relationship and I suspect quite a large part of the remaining 30% are looking for this too, so if you base it just on what is normal across the board then it is abnormal.

However, the word abnormal can be a loaded on and while it is technically accurate, it is not typically used because if suggests something is wrong to many people when it is quite acceptable for you to choose not to want this.

Rather than focussing on the behaviour of the masses I would focus on the fact you have thought this through and made the decision that you don't want to be like everybody else and are advocating for your own needs.

Thanks for your message.

I meant the dictionary definition. I've just realised I've asked a question on this forum that I could have just googled myself. I've made this mistake on here before. My bad. Sorry.

To be clear, I was not insinuating anything about myself or anyone else. I was just trying to find out some information.
