Absolutely agree with you on this, you’re not alone.I sometimes get scared of what people might be saying or thinking about me as well... I have been a single girl for some years now after a horrendous relationship with a crappy cheater and being a big time introvert plus having trust issues has led me to an almost isolation like state ( which I like btw) but I’m guessing that some people are making a guess about my sexuality as well( I’m straight btw and also not at all saying being a lesbian is anything bad ) In reality I’m just an awkward introverted individual lol
and back to Tanya if she is indeed in a romantic relationship with her friend then good for her and if she is not then I kinda feel for her for people judging her sexuality just because she is single rn.
I think a lot of people who think this irl are actually strangely uncomfortable with the idea of a successful young woman reaching her goals on her own terms and enjoying what life has to offer - without a man. I’ve had a coworker make a surreptitious comment before, why don’t I have a boyfriend etc. It’s simply the case that my life is mine, it’s pretty great and I don’t need a man to feel complete/not lonely/whatever other reason they come up with. If me living my life and being successful and having fun with friends at the weekend without some man who drag me down means people think I’m gay..... lol whatever! (Any man who enters my life has to add value and I’m not wasting my time on someone who doesn’t meet the bare minimum.)
