Is it normal to never want to be in a relationship?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Some people never want a romantic relationship, and that’s a perfectly valid way to live.

People want different things: you might love being single, value your independence, feel little or no romantic attraction, or simply not want the work and compromises of a relationship. You don’t need a dramatic reason—or a plan to change your mind—for that preference to count.

Some people feel this way for life; others change their minds, and either is fine. You can be close to people and build a full, loving life without dating. The only thing worth checking in with is whether this feels like your genuine preference or something you wish were different because of fear or past hurt.
