So I am 18M and I have never been in a relationship, kissed anyone or lost my virginity or anything.

I’m honestly fine with just jerking off, watching anime,playing video games with my friends, writing and playing music, listening to “Loving girlfriend ASMR” before I go to bed. At this point I might even buy a body pillow or something. Those ASMRs are honestly really nice and comfy. Far healthier than obsessive porn/ hentai watching, or being obsessed with girls who want nothing to do with me.

That probably sounds both sad and kind of good, but I’m okay with that. Now obviously I would prefer to have a girlfriend, however it’s not that bad. I at least have friends who I can talk to and hangout with. I think in that regard it’s what’s keeping me sane. Plus some of them are in a similar situation. I only have a few friends with girlfriends, some of them used to have some.

Honestly being alone is kind of nice as well, I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. I am free to spend my time however I desire. I don’t have to argue with anyone, I don’t have to experience heartbreak or some girl getting mad at me because of something stupid that doesn’t matter.

I had a friend describe dating as “a really awesome hobby” essentially you need to put in a lot of effort for the relationship to work. Whenever I see him with his girlfriend they are usually arguing, her starting it, and him pleading with her trying to resolve it ALL THE TIME. She always had this bitter look on her face. He seemed so stressed, though I know they love each other so I’m happy for him. He spends so much time and money on her.

I don’t know I guess I’ve got different feelings on this. Maybe I’m coping. What are your peoples thoughts?
