Today I was reading on this Yahoo Article about the single myths. It seemed appealing at that moment. As I read on, one heading caught my eyes and it stated, "Singles are not needy and dependent" and I went...Duh! Why the heck would they think that?
I will tell you why singles are more independent than those in relationships...Cuz we're SINGLES! That's why! We're not attached to anyone. We do what we want to do and we don't need a second opinion for us to tolerate with. We do everything ourselves because we don't have anyone to come and drove us around the city for food and running errands. The only people who rang our doorbells with food are the Pizza guy (or McDonald Delivery dude). We, by no choice have to be emotionally independent, because there's no one for us to share our intimate thoughts with. Those in relationships pout to get what they want, we--well we had to say "It's Fine, I'll manage." because we're not attached to that particular person--How can we pout?! That's so against the nature of coolness of our friendship.
Maybe some people think singles are needy cuz they're alone I guess. Well, as independent as you are, nobody wants to be alone in this world forever. And then it comes to this mind that maybe, in life, we do want to be needed and needy. I'm guessing that's what makes us feel that we mattered. Lol God knows.
