You see my life as lacking [...] based on what you like

I think that is exactly the case here. People just can't comprehend how a life other than their own would look like.

I guess that also falls under the Dunning Kruger Effect?

Oh, I can.
For years I had severe clinical depression and it rendered me incapable of feeling almost anything towards my SO, friends and relatives.
It was... I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

That's... not the same as being aro at all. It doesn't mean you feel nothing towards anyone. Just that you're not interested in romantic relationships at all.
