Because I was repeatedly told growing up that I would turn out to be an abject failure.

They where right.

Lucky i don't care

No offense their are lot of depressive people around here get that sorted and it all falls in to place

2 reasons...I forgot everything I knew about social interaction (which was very little) from 10 years of marriage, and I am happier by myself. I suppose sex would be nice though.....nah!

I want certain traits, and if most of the population doesn't have them together in one place, oh well.

My one reason for still being single would be Pride.

I isolate myself too much. Logically, I know when I do it it's interaction with other people I need most but I just don't do it. It's almost like a month to 3 month long shut-down.

I do this, too, Tea (with the same intellectual conclusions). Mostly, I feel I'm protecting myself, though, since I'm overwhelmed by my usual daily life.

I don't feel like I'm protecting myself, because the isolation just makes everything worse. However, for one reason or another I just can't reach out even to friends/family during this time. I interact only when necessary. Social visits are completely out of my realm of capability.

See, during these periods I am actually sick. *touches head* I get paranoid, confused, and quite unstable. I just can't do much of anything.

Yeah... people say that all the time. Then they get to know me and see just how unstable I am.

Fear.

When told this, a friend asked me why I felt afraid of guys. I told her, I'm not afraid of guys, I'm afraid of myself and how I could hurt someone.

Because I am expected to have a lot of money, be a social butterfly, not be a virgin, and have a foot long dick. Not only do I have none of these but I am more concerned about intellectual persuits. Oh and of course having Asperger's Syndrome does not help anything.

Hmm, I'm not too social with people my age around these parts so that might have something to do with it. It seems the majority of people I'm comfortable with are always quite a few years older than me. :shrug:
