The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Not Bothered
I'm creeping into my late twenties, and obviously I'm single. This doesn't bother me, but it seems almost socially unacceptable to say that you're not only quite happy being single, but at this point in my life, I'm really not interested in getting involved with anyone. This is probably a response to the two years where my inner life was dominated by two emotionally overlapping and dysfunctional in different ways relationships. Now I really appreciate getting to concentrate all my emotional energy on myself and my own development, instead of getting bogged down in pyschodrama and other people's expectations.
I am alone in this?

you absolutely aren't alone in that feeling. i feel the same way, and i think many others do as well. But I don't think we should feel guilty or out of place for doing things against the 'norm.' In fact, you should be proud and when others see us being successful as singles, they'll know it's okay for them to feel/be the same way.

Glad I'm not alone. What I find strange is the sometimes I think that people would be less weird if I was settling down with someone who clearly wasn't right for me! Besides, I like having my double bed all to myself!
And Tina, I too find it quite odd that 'you should' have your entire life sorted at 25 - what on earth are you meant to do for the next fifty years! -
