Re: Anyone else have things they're pissed off about but not for the reasons people think?

When people ask me why I'm not seeing someone , and they ask why not, and when I say "because I'm not interested in anyone/don't have the time/don't have the energy/it's not important," and they're like "you're being too picky/just wait until the right guy comes along/how have you not had a boyfriend yet?" It's just annoying. I don't need someone in my life to affirm my abilities or so other people don't think I'm alone. They look at me like they're sorry for me. And when I try to explain *my* reasons, they just act like they think I can't get a date or whatever dumb reason they think I'm "alone."

I've actually tried using "I just can't get a date!" as a reason I'm single and people always refuse to accept that. Clearly I'm not trying hard enough or being too picky or whatever. It must be really nice to be so appealing that you're constantly beating suitors off with a stick! I never understand why people ask why someone is single because there seems to be no answer that satisfies. Maybe it's some kind of performance art.

I get the same thing you do every time I go see my extended family. I even remember one time I was getting so mad my face was turning red, but I'm a good actor so I was laughing and smiling. They all noticed and were like, "Oh! She's blushing! Does this embarrass you? Hahaha~!" No, I want to commit mass murder at the moment. Very different feeling. Thanks.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry. I've found that if you say outrageous things it may work and shut them up for a while. Like say you don't have a boyfriend because you just can't get over the loss of your husband who died in a bear attack on the international space station. Also, you feel incredibly guilty about it because you have a bear kink.

Urgh I get you there. I'm personally just not looking, but everyone still wants to talk to me about seeing people or how to see people or where I can meet people or people they know.

And I'm not interested in looking, I don't value it (a relationship) that much.

I even had a friend tell me that she felt sorry for me because I'm missing out on all the great parts of a relationship (i.e. mortgage, constant companionship). Which pissed me off because I LOVE my independance. I like having full responsibility of my bills and not sharing ownership of future house or dogs or whatever. I don't want to split ownership.

And god forbid I be lonely one day, because obviously the solution is to dress up and go out and meet people. Which I HATE doing. I'm lonely, which means I just want to catch up with a friend for a hour or so for a coffee, not get in a relationship.
