This is so common in the twin flame journey.
The separation strips away all the distractions so you can focus on your own soul growth. Giving your energy to someone else right now would just dilute what you’re meant to be working on. Being alone feels right because it is right for this phase.
I have never been popular with men unfortunately and have only had 2 lovers, years of online dating went nowhere (apart from my karmic stbx husband) so can’t see me getting any off anyone soon. I couldn’t just go out and hook up with a random. It’s not that I’m unattractive but there’s something that keeps them away. Maybe it’s a mental block, I give off stay away vibes? Maybe I’m only meant to be with my twin now at some point, that would be nice. It would explain the loneliness I felt in my early 20s, he wasn’t incarnated then.
The twin flame dynamic rewires how you experience intimacy on an energetic level. It just does. The connection opens up a frequency of exchange that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Once that channel is open, everything is up for grabs.
The “nobody else registers” club has another member. 
I swipe on dating apps sometimes just to see if anything sticks and it’s like my brain immediately goes “nah, not even close”.
Surface-level attraction starts to feel like static noise. Your energy body becomes selective in a way your mind can’t really override, no matter how much you try. Fighting it usually just delays your own growth.
I felt guilty about it at first like I was wasting my life but now I see it as one of the biggest gifts of the experience. The clarity and peace that comes from not scattering your energy is incredible. Trust that feeling that it’s right for you right now.
Checking Venus/Mars compatibility actually helped me figure out what was real connection versus just fixation. Easier when the charts match.
Sexual energy is sacred. Full stop. That’s what the divine keeps showing me through all of this, over and over again.
Real union is something orchestrated by forces way bigger than us. So now I’m just way more conscious about who I share that creative energy with. Can’t give it away carelessly anymore (not once you actually understand what it means).
Meditation and dancing give me more than anything physical could right now. Expanding creatively during this separation has been good for me.
That deep connection we had. Nothing else comes close, so why even bother with hollow substitutes.
Nothing else even registers. It’s been four years now. I haven’t been with anyone else, haven’t really wanted to. The intensity of what we had just made everything after feel pointless.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m using that as an excuse to hide from connection. Probably worth being honest with myself about that.
Nothing even comes close.
Once you’ve felt that kind of connection, you can’t go back.
Everything else just feels like settling.
Not by choice I just cant seem to connect with other people
Eleven years. Solitude just became the natural state. When you spend that long as a runner feeling unworthy of connection, celibacy stops being a choice and turns into a default you stop questioning.
It does get easier with time though.
That one attempt with someone I thought might be a soulmate told me everything. No connection or passion. The whole thing just felt awkward and forced.
I had already been celibate for six months before I even realized who my twin was, and going back to that after an experience like that just… made sense. If I ever find someone I genuinely connect with, great. But I’m not holding my breath.
