I Am Scared of Relationships

I just noticed this group in my home feed.
I felt like I needed to put up a post here. I've been putting up a bug front for six months about how I'm free now and single life is great but.... Side bar.... Truth be told... I'm afraid to try to be with someone. There are no prospects though so it's not like I'm in immediate vicinity of a possible relationship.
I can officially say I'm a failure at dating so it might just be better for me to give up. It wouldn't be the end of the world right.
Food for thought I guess.. Wow this wasn't meant to be pondering of the year but it's a sore spot so off I babbled.
I doubt anyone will comment though so I think it's all good... Lol

I was always terrible at dating, I hated going to clubs, etc. I have lived most of my life alone and though I am technically in a relationship at the moment I ponder sometimes that I may always be happier alone. Somewhere inside, on some existential level, I have a philosophy that people MUST be their own happiness and that I can never give another happiness that they do not already have themselves. On top of all that, I am asexual.You can imagine how hard that makes things like Valentines day for me. Lol.

Just be careful what you wish for and don't end up in a relationship that makes you wish you were alone again.

I just got out of one of those. I've been in several actually. You should sometimes watch how you say things when you don't know the whole story. The point of this post is that I'm tired of those relationships. The point is to give up on them altogether.
I meet no one new. I have no worry about being in a relationship that makes me wish I was alone again. I've been alone almost eight months and have no plans for any future relationships.
