I went MGTOW last year and have completely gotten rid of keeping in touch with women in my life. I only speak to them for academic and professional reasons. From the past few weeks I have been feeling shit and lonely without any rhyme or reason. My friends think it is because of a lack of a romantic interest in my life. How do I stop myself from feeling shit for not having a connection with the opposite gender.

PS- I don't want to have any women in my life but why do I feel emotionally inclined towards them?
