Have you considered talking to a therapist about this?

No.[1]

Also, I do not appreciate the insinuation that I might be mentally ill. What is it with that, anyway? My conviction is the result of thorough deliberation; if anything, attempts at handwaving such as yours especially makes my conviction ever harder.

Biologically speaking, the very reason of our existence is to make descendants, or contribute to society so others can make descendants, with intelligence being an evolutionary trait to increase the likelihood of our species surviving. Now, you are free to go against our biological imperative, but such stance can be considered a mental health problem in the sense that "mental health" exists for the very survival of the species.

One problem in your writeup is that it appears that you believe others should take your approach to living ("Life is a hellhole" instead of "My life is a hellhole"), which would lead to our species' extinction. Yes, life can be very tough, and long stretches of it can have more negatives than positives, but humanity has developed a wide range of tools to deal with that (psychotherapy, religion, support groups, community) so we can be relatively healthy and happy in the long run.

Your conviction is in contradiction with perhaps the most strongly held compulsion of everyone, everywhere, or that has ever existed. That alone should give reason to question it. You sound like you're motivated by spite.

Being aromantic isn't reason to see a therapist. Which it certainly sounds like they fit the bill for.
