      it’s not. people think you are weird because they can’t relate and they can’t imagine anyone being content w/o a partner.

      desperation for validation and twisting yourself into knots to get it is way more attractive to people. but also why so many people who are attractive are deeply unhappy.

        This is real. Despite being comfortable being single it still draws looks when I go out and do things by myself. Getting told “it’s sad” when I go to a bar alone to read a book only hurts because I’m getting called sad by a weirdo, not because I felt bad about going out.
