There’s a difference between being aromantic vs. being defeatist.
If romantic relationships don’t bring you happiness, then you should explore other less formal, less dedicated forms of relationships. Sometimes it’s just discovering the kind of person you are, instead of following societal expectations to find a monogamous life partner. Using that energy to build deeper friendships, or engage in casual sex could be the path to emotional fulfillment.
However, if you deeply want a romantic partner, and have resigned yourself to loneliness due to past failures, I encourage you not to give up. There’s a future where it works out.
