Is it normal to never experience love?

Depends.It depends

It can be normal not to experience romantic love, and people vary a lot in how they feel and express connection. If you mean you can’t feel affection or closeness of any kind and that worries you, it may be worth talking it through with someone you trust or a professional.

If you mean romantic love, yes—some people rarely or never feel it, and some identify as aromantic. That doesn’t mean they can’t care deeply about friends or family; love doesn’t come in just one flavor or on one schedule.

If you mean you’ve never felt any affection, attachment, or closeness toward anyone, that’s a different experience, but it doesn’t make you broken. Some people are naturally more guarded or feel emotions differently; stress or a difficult past can also make connection feel far away. If it bothers you or makes life feel lonely, talking it through with someone you trust or a therapist could help.
