I feel and express love more like a child does. I can also feel it excessively deeply. Sometimes when I express it it can seem inappropriate because it is so deeply felt so innocent childlike expressions of my love for someone or for an animal or even something can be misunderstood from people who don't really know or understand me.

People generally would like to see grandkids. Of course, each person has the free choice to not get married and have kids, but keep in mind that 100 or more years ago, people had large families and chances are grandkids are gonna come and so people are programmed to have the desire to see their children pass along the genes even further.


I am physically incapable of reproducing ever since I had a hystorectomy, yet people still think I should be seeking a mate.


tell them to F*CK OFF and mind their own business
who cares what they think?!?!?

I definitely do. i dont think i could ever be capable of those feelings. nor handle those feelings from another person.

I just think ive become too much a lone wolf. Its kinda ironic, at one hand thinking about what if.

I certaintly dont express emotion in any way that i see other people do, like hugging people they know or family, kissing friends or family, telling people you love them and stuff like that. I guess to regular people i will seem quite cold and hardened.

Yes and no for me.
Yes, in the sense that I have a difficult time communicating romantic attraction. But it's not difficult for me to communicate love to a family member. Physical affection though is something that is a little difficult though I concede.
