Boredom.
I'm never bored. Ever. Always something to do.
Literally can't remember the last time I had 'nothing' to do.

People on gap years. On my last trip, I met some people from Belgium, Germany and Sweden who had all either graduated from high school or university and were taking these huge trips to multiple countries, partying and meeting different people and seeing the sights. All I could do was fake a smile as I turned into the personification of Envy (they were all wonderful people).

Depression, Pessimism.
For whatever reason, I don't really go through any of that and always see the humor or positives no matter how shitty a situation or experience was. It's why I tend to not hang out or become friends with people who are constantly throwing a pity party for themselves and always see things as glass half empty.

I'm similar yet opposite if that makes sense.
I can be doing absolutely nothing and not be bored. I've never said "I'm bored"

Knowing what the hell you want to do with your life.
Going to the beach. The only time I went was when I had 2 years old and I haver never go back since then. I prefer to go to the mountains or forests... quiet places like those. I dislike the crowds of people at the beach with kids running, screaming and crying all over near you when you're taking the sun and all that mess. That's not relaxing at all!

This. Wasn't around during the E.T. craze and it looks stupid and dated to me so... eh.
Ooh definitely this one. I'm not quite Harrison "who gives a shit?" Ford, but it's close.

Independence.
I've always lived with either family or the guy I was with at the time. Never once been out on my own or know how that feels (having to have a job to support myself and pay the bills).
It's a good problem to have, but I worry as my husband and I get older that I'll have to face it later in life and I'd better be prepared.

My man!
Please get started.
I was fine on my own too. Then I found "the one." Now I cannot bare vacations away from them for too long. That dynamic just changes when you find the right mate.
Ironically it sounds like you're the exact kind of person these people might need more of in their lives, and you're avoiding them.
I envy you.
I'd say get started on stuff like this now. If your family pays for phone bills, car insurance, etc. cut those strings so they can't be used to pull you in later. Know 100% what your bills are and financial obligations so you can budget properly. There will come a time when you need to be fully independent, and it's a bit of a shock if you haven't had that experience whatsoever up until then. Good for you to get planted, even if only in practice.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Making my day a bit better. ^_^

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Sex
Served 4 years in the military running all the time and never experienced it either. After every running PT session I just wanted to throw up and not feel like shit. Then I was tired the rest of the day.

I'll pray for you, it took me some time before I saw the light. And it is Glorious.
I dunno, flirting I guess? Either I'm awful at reading signals, or more likely I don't give off the right aura to receive it, and the confidence to get things started. Been a good long while since I felt someone was interested.

I think having a normal life timeline in general. I left home when I was 15, missing regular high school. Finished up high school through correspondence but didn't start college until I was older than everyone after working crap jobs for the better part of a decade.
Sometimes I encounter people who have strong ideas about what you're "supposed to do", finish high school at 18, go to college (or have a gap year. Gap year? I had a gap decade!). None of that is even on my planet.
I think you need domineering parents to expect this so matter of factly, but due to the fact that I'm in Vancouver, all my peers are immigrants and they do have parents planning their life for them. I feel like some kind of lone wolf out in the wilderness compared to their prescribed lives.

Sure, and I can understand that, but I just don't have the need to search for a person like that by dating and meeting new people. I'm fine on my own and if I somehow stumble upon that one good match for me, then sure! I just don't have the drive to constantly search of a partner if that makes sense.
This. I don't have a clue what I want my life to be despite currently doing an expensive degree. I can't see where I'll be in 2 years let alone 10.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
I've tried to watch it a couple times. Super fucking boring, I never make it more than a 10-15 minutes in. Don't bother.

This. At least romantic love. I don't think I've ever experienced that for another person, and I'm 24.

i think i am incapable of feeling romance, all i feel is a longing to fill an empty space with someone who i think is cool
anytime a movie or any kind of narrative deals in romance i am completely incapable of feeling anything but a mild discomfort or boredom, which is a little upsetting i guess
i dunno, i think i am just wired in a selfish way that doesnt allow me to contemplate any great joy from putting effort into relationships. i only do nice things for people i like when i happen to see a good opportunity to do so
also i dont like sex
i mean its....okay, like 25% of the time. i dunno. i am not asexual but i dont really like it generally. probably because to me it carries the possibility of disappointment

Not everyone but I don't really care for animals at all.
Like I think they're fascinating from a scientific perspective but I have zero desire to interact with them and feel nothing if they die except for the possible effect on humans.
