Yeah, I'm also not interested in ever getting married (not even interested in dating) and the socialization really sticks with you even as an adult. I live in a really liberal area with really mellow parents, and even though no one around me ever suggests or even implies that I shouldn't be single, I still get kind of insecure about it sometimes like I'm failing at something I was supposed to do.
Thank god for all those Miss Marple novels I had growing up. There's not a lot of other happily single older person role models I can think of in pop culture.
