"Being childfree is never going to change (especially considering I voluntarily sterilized myself), and I'm mentally incapable of feeling romantic attraction to anyone,"

Well there you go. Ageism problem solved. Just don't have kids or feelings. JFC

Oh, I have plenty of feelings. I have lots of people I care about and lots of things I feel strongly about. I love spending time with my friends, and I deeply care about their well-being; I just can't feel that particular way about people.

What it boils down to is that I have absolutely zero interest in taking part in any kind of romantic relationship. The idea of having an SO, or worse, living with one, is actively repulsive to me.

The technical term is "aromantic", which I've begun to shy away from using because too many people like to make puns on "aromatic" whenever I say it.
