I don't want to be mean, but you are 16 years old. Talking like this at 16 is ridiculous. Not "You're too young to be jaded!" but like, you are literally too young to be jaded. It's like listening to an eight year old complain about facial hair.
Not everyone functions well as one half of a couple...there are plenty of folks out there in their 30's or 40's or 50's who have decided relationships are just not for them. Perhaps commitment doesn't sit well with them. Perhaps they prefer their own company to the company of others. Perhaps they are misanthropes, or sex addicts, or they're missing a fundamental part of their biological makeup that allows for feelings of attachment. Or maybe they've just been burned so many times they can't get close to anyone anymore, due to fear of abandonment.
In your case, the most likely scenario is you've probably had like...one relationship. And for all anyone in this thread knows, it could be a crap relationship. Hell, you're 16, most relationships at 16 are crap relationships, if you can even call them "relationships" at all.
