Why Aren’t You in a Relationship? What is Wrong with You?

“Will I be single forever? People always ask me, ‘Why aren’t you married? Why don’t you have a boyfriend? What is wrong with you? Are you a lesbian?’

The answer to all these questions is very simple: I wish I knew.

You would think you’d have your life figured out at 32 years old. Well, not really. Surely not when it comes to relationships.

All these questions people constantly ask me are very thin ice. We’re talking existential crisis. We’re talking life and death. People who are in relationships and never had problems finding a partner don’t understand the serious impact it has on a person if you ask them why they’re not in a relationship.

Of course, I could say I don’t want it, I don’t need it, just like all the other liars out there. But I’m going to be honest in this blog because I have finally figured it out… I think.

When you’re a teenager, your emotional intelligence is low, and your character, personality, and basically the idea of who you are is shaping, strongly connected to your sexual life. You start liking the opposite sex or the same one and discover your human nature.
