no plans to start or have a family

Do you want to start/have a family? Society seems to pressure people into the mindset of wanting to "start a family", but many people don't actually want to, and that's fine too.

Nope, and while that’s a fine choice to make, it still leaves me pretty much alone for the remainder of my life.

I don’t like making friends, nor am I good at it, and whenever I do manage to make one it fades away extremely fast no matter the effort I put in. Which makes it very clear it’s a me problem, so I just stopped trying.
