Regards the question on being lonely - Like why can’t she just be honest and say “ yeah I’ve been single forever and I feel lonely from time to time but I don’t dwell on it and keep myself busy”
her response - “ NO! NEVER LONELY! THANK YOU!”
Exactly this!! I am in my thirties (live abroad) and have been single for a few years and YES it can be lonely. Why pretend otherwise? It’s just so false. Everyone feels loneliness in their lives. There’s no shame in it. And luckily I’m at an age and life experience where I know I’d rather feel lonely by myself then lonely in a relationship. (I’m still looking)
She’s just so adamant that her way of living is the ONLY way that she disassociates with any negative emotion (and heaps it on people with a different life path).
She’s just utterly exhausting.
Also the traveling home again? I hate it. HATE it.
I live abroad. Saw my family at the summer for the first time in 2.5 years. Was crazy careful and won’t travel home for Christmas because of the increased cases in Ireland. I just saw my family and friends in the summer so it’s too bad. When I do go home it is to see my family and friends not to create insta memories for the
bleeping gram.
She has no interest in having real interactions it’s just all performative. AND that is why she will always feel lonely. Doesn’t matter if you have an S/O, child, family etc..: it’s about real interactions that have depth.
She has the depth of a spoon. Rant over.
