I get that a lot when all I have said is I am single.
Sometimes people seem to jump to the conclusion that being single means one is lonely. That our being single is an hurdle to our happiness as a person and that we are so because we aren't granted the chance to be in a relationship. Is it really that hard to believe that a single person has chosen to be so? Why is being single often seen as something to be pitied? For some it may be a source of discomfort and lonesomeness. For them I can understand. Yet there are those of us who are perfectly comfortable in our situation and it's kind of insulting when people assume that we are doing so against our own will. Some of us are doing fine in our single lives and don't want your sympathy or your pity because of our choices or comfort levels.
Please don't assume it's a problem unless it is stated that we want a change in the situation.
