So I’m in my late 20s and every single time I go to the grocery store, I see several single guys. I always want to build up the courage to approach them, but I never know what to say, and it always feels awkward to try approaching guys in grocery stores bc it feels like they’re on a mission to get in and get out. How to I spark a conversation?
Lots of repeated artists and only 30 records collected so far, but MANY more on my wishlist. So glad I started collecting.
First time poster, haven’t lurked much, but I’ve become frustrated with people thinking I’m weird for doing things alone. For context, I’m (28F) an only child to a single mom, but have a large extended family. I have lots of cousins and grew up around them. As an adult, I’ve lived out of state on my own for several years, so I’m pretty self sufficient. My close friends all live in my home state, so I do a lot of things alone, which I don’t mind bc….. only child lol. Anyway, my coworkers were asking me what I was going to do for my birthday that’s coming up in May. I told them I was going to shop, grab dinner to go, and then go to a sports game. They asked if I was going to do all of that alone and I said yes. They seemed weirded out by that and some even felt pity for me. I told them that my close friends live out of state and although I’d love for them to join me, I don’t expect them to drop everything going on in their lives and come spend my bday with me when I don’t have anything extravagant planned. We’re adults now and all have our own things going on.
Why do ppl with siblings find it so weird that I’m able to do things on my own and still have a good time? Am I just not supposed to do fun things simply bc I don’t always have someone to go with?? I don’t get why they’re so codependent.
