I’m (28f) a demisexual introvert whose mentally ill so relationships and especially dating has been...disappointing. people under 28 just seem to want someone baggage free to party and have sex with and most people that are older are looking for someone to raise a family with and I don’t want kids. It doesn’t seem to matter if I’m a good person with plenty of great qualities, no one seems to care because I have issues and don’t want children. I’m not saying woe is me but I do feel defeated because I could be a great partner who’s trying to better themselves but no one wants to deal with my “baggage”, they seem to want someone “easy”. It’s not like I want to live in a world run by extroverts who become obsessed with kids as an autistic, disabled, mentally ill person with little sex drive and no desire to ‘raise’ anyone, but I do. I’m not saying I think I need to change what I want or that being autistic is bad, just that I feel like I only seem to encounter people who run at the first sign i’m different and have any problems. Does anyone else feel like maybe you will end alone because of something you can’t control? or maybe you’ll never find someone because people can’t seem to accept something about you that you can’t change?
