He also says living in a society seemingly obsessed with sex and romance can sometimes make life difficult. “I feel that society sees me as odd for being single. I definitely have a sense that having a partner is seen as normal, and being single as very unusual. I also feel left out by culture. For instance, I enjoy playing and listening to music, but the vast majority of songs are about sex and romantic love, and those lyrics don't resonate with me in any way. Similarly with TV and films and so on.”
