Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

They tend to get really patronizing about my lack of romantic relationships. I don't fall for people easily, so I tend to just have fun but not get into relationships. I'm 23, I enjoy being single, and if something comes along I'll go for it, but I don't want to rush it. Most of my friends are rarely ever single, two of them are already married, and they seem to think this makes them better off than me.

The other night they were giving me shit like "you'll get there, sweetie", or "when you're ready for it, it'll happen!" which is kind of infuriating. I told them I was going out with a couple of my other girl friends, and they invited themselves so they could try to match me up with a guy, and now they seem to think this was THEIR original idea. I get the feeling they think I spend all my time indoors crying about being single (they were like, "hah, we'll finally get her out of the house!"), which is ridiculous since I go out all the damn time. Probably more than they do.

Sorry, I just wanted to rant. I don't see this group all that often, and now I'm realizing why.

I'll smack 'em in their faces for ya. I hate people like that. *happy single*

Your friends are assholes. I'd either straight up tell them to knock it off and that they're being mega insulting or dump them.

I'm 30 and I've had precisely 2, maybe 3 relationships one could qualify as romantic.

When they start getting patronizing like that punch them in the fucking face.

from my personal experience, I had a lot of friends do that with me when I was under 23 or 24, but then after that (as we all grew up) it stopped happening so much. I mean, family members and strangers still do it, but my friends kind of figured out that it's just the way I am. It's a bit of immaturity on their part. Annoying, but they'll grow out of it hopefully.

Wow, fuck these people. You need new friends.

I don't see this group all that often, and now I'm realizing why.

Wow, I can see why too.

That kind of attitude is infuriating and your friends are being dicks for treating you like that. It's your life, live it how you want. (You would think your friends would realize that their comments are hurtful and stop. Even if they're doing it in jest, that's still not cool.)

I have friends like that. I ended up sitting one down and was all "look, you might have gotten married young and stuff, but I do not want that life. Stop it or go home." Then I glared at her. She took the hint, haha.

I'm sorry. I have friends who are the exact same way, and I know it sucks. I actually made up a boyfriend once (which is dumb, I know, but they just WOULD. NOT. STOP.) but finally I was like 'fuck it' and told them I was happy being single and didn't want to be in a relationship. One of them was like "yeah, that's how I felt until I met my boyfriend" which sort of pissed me off but I just let it go.

I'm thisclose to dropping them but if I did that I'd have no friends at all and I'm not quite ready for that yet. I'm sorry I have no real advice, but yeah, I know how you feel.

That sounds annoying. :/ I'm sorry.

Most of my closest friends are all single too and have been for as long as we've been hanging out regularly (21-25 age range, five years of friendship), so it's not something I've ever really had to deal with from them. But my roommates last year had both been in long term relationships since forever and could be super patronizing about it and my family (not as often my immediate, but aunts and uncles and cousins and grandmas and such) do it too.

So many people seem so dependent on relationships for personal happiness that it seems to blow their mind that you can be happy without one. I mean, yes, I would like on eventually, but I'm not terribly good at them and I've met no one recently I'm willing to put the effort in for. I don't need stupid, ~it'll happen when you're ready nonsense~. Just because I'm happy/fulfilled with the platonic relationships in my life and not actively looking doesn't mean I am somehow lacking or not ready. Ugh.

Sorry, this frustrates me so much. Fuck your friends, OP. I'd say tell them off but lbr, if this was me I wouldn't be able to. Best of luck!

If I were you I would say all of this to their face. However, I would probably do it with more cursing because I'm classy like that. (I wouldn't advise the cursing though, unless that works for you.)

The only way to get them to stop is to make it clear they need to. If they don't stop after you tell them then they don't respect you. If they don't respect you then fuck them.

Seriously I doubt they even know they're being asspickers right now.
