Seriously it really grinds my fucking gears that society shames people who don’t have any desire to be in a romantic relationship with anyone. There is nothing wrong with me just lift weights 4 days a week, playing video games and jerk off to my waifus everyday.
I don’t want to go on dates with anyone and I especially do not want anyone living with me because that would be hell.
Single-shaming is real. It’s particularly nasty because it can often come from family, friends, and strangers alike. And the media does it constantly.
Most governments are set up to support and value married folks with tax breaks and incentives, fuck everybody else.
Guess who’s less likely to be able to buy even a small house because you need at least two huge incomes these days to even qualify? That’s right, single people.
I’ve been single for about a decade, and I’m overall pretty happy. Every once in a while I do find myself in a self-inflicted shame spiral, but I always tell myself “Bertram, this is your life, live it however you want to live it.”
That said, I’m not opposed to finding a partner, somehow, but I’ve built a nice little life for myself so it’s just not a priority. Especially because I wouldn’t even know where to start…
