It’s not u true for me to say that a relationship has never appealed to me. There have simply been other ways I wanted to spend my time.
Was the only reason I wanted a girlfriend to fit in?

No. There were some girls that I really liked. It’s actually the label of girlfriend that always poisoned it. The expectations that others place on that word. It felt disgusting. Feeling like I needed to play the role of a boyfriend. Made me feel pressured.

Our relationship couldn’t just be what it was. But maybe that would have been a good thing if my Christian upbringing hadn’t also made me feel averse to having a girlfriend. Never got any support and for it from my dad because I never asked.

There’s something else too though. I think I couldn’t be myself, someone’s boyfriend, and myself at home, all at the same time. That if I brought a girl home, it would be revealed to everyone how fake I am. It’s hard for me to have fun around my parents

I was a real fucked up person and I crumbled under the weight of it all. Stuck playing a game that’s rigged against me. Unable to stand up for myself and be how I wanted to be. I crumbled under the expectations and perceptions of others.

For some people I’ve met, polyamory helped with this because ... all the relationship norms are explicitly gone and everything has to be made up anew
