Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Firstly, there is nothing wrong with you. I understand that you feel alone right now, but there are many people out there who are going through the same feelings as you right now. For instance, one of my closest friends doesn't find people sexually attractive, she feels just as lost as you do. You must keep battling on and being who you are, it will be hard but trust me, you will get through it. It might be best to do some research on different sexuality to see if you fit into a certain category. You are not alone, friend.

Nothings wrong with you. Many people are attracted to others but do not get into relationships. This is completely normal it could be your inner self telling yourself that you’re waiting for the right one. Being attracted to someone is different from wanting to be sexual or romantic with another person. As long as you feel comfortable being yourself anything you feel is completely normal I promise you that you are not the only person who feels this way. They’re are many people all over the world who just aren’t sexually attracted to others. I hope that throughout your journey you stay true to yourself.
I get you. Love doesn't work out sometimes. Nothing is wrong with you, though. It's the way things work out in that relationship and how you both act that affects it.
Attraction to people is normal, we all feel that way at some point. But otherwise, romantic and sexual relationships aren't a major part of life. They are simply add-ons, things you could do.
Maybe everyone else is in a relationship. It doesn't matter that much! Things just don't work out for people sometimes, and that's life.
Hope that you can find what you're looking for. Good luck!
