<human>: I would like some input as to how to approach a situation that thus far, has exclusively been with regards to women.

A bit of background to set a baseline. I exhibit a majority of the classic AvPD symptoms. It is something I have accepted and embraced. I do not want a relationship any farther than a friend. The men that I interact with regularly realize and accept that without obtuse criticism.

One of my hobbies is writing. So as part of that, I like to listen to people's stories, their experiences and feelings. Helps to make characters more realistic in turn. It becomes a nice coping mechanism for my AvPD tendencies. Based on my personal experiences, men love to tell you about their experiences, their feelings.

My issue is that a substantial majority of women have inherent "expectations" set for me, which I neither desire nor understand. There are expectations that I should be in a relationship (as long as it is not with them), or should seek higher positions. 

They disregard that my objective is inherently different from theirs. I live to write out the world in my head. When that is all complete, I will leave. End of story, as it were.

I would humbly request some advice as to how to go about this. I enjoy listening to their experiences and their stories, I enjoy seeing them as characters and how they interact with others. I do not care for them projecting their expectations on me. I do not want to sever these sources of information by roughly rejecting them.

Thus far I have attempted to: 
* Explain my life objective (*which was met with comments regarding depression or lack of ambition* - **which I in turn will not deny, but I do not care for obvious statements**). 
* Have attempted to reason that logically speaking, my actions are insignificant - whether I engage in a relationship or the employment rat race. (*To which the common response "We care about you" seems to disregard any of my opinions*)

I appreciate any advice or criticism granted, and *will apologize in advance if I respond to "seek therapy" statements with "There's no need to cure what isn't wrong" statements.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Women project their expectations of my life onto me, and I would like a method to stop that without irrevocably damaging the social relationship between myself and them.
