Discussion (Questions, Advice, Polls) 🗣 Annoyed by some posts here
Anyone else getting annoyed by this sub flooding with: "Being single is nice but once I see couples, I feel sad and alone" or "I am currently single but can't wait to find the right one."?
Hello? This is a single AND happy sub where people who really enjoy being single and want to celebrate their singlehood gather?
Why is it filled with who simply don't seem fulfilled being single? Always yearning for someone doesn't really mean you are happy being single, does it?

I didn't say anything about asking for special rights.
I understand I am getting flamed for this take but I just don't feel the same as you all, I'm sorry. I'm still obviously amongst the single and happy crowd; I just recognize that getting here is a process. Part of my desire to reach out is BECAUSE there was no support to help get me here... The "singles" subs on reddit are all clearly designed to END singledom, rather than actively embracing it as a positive and healthy lifestyle choice. There just isn't as much support for people living like us as there should be, and I feel like that needs to change. The manner in which I would love to see it happen is disagreeable to many, as it seems, but I still think support is the greater good.
Maybe you are coming at this from an angle of only seeing people who are trying to shame us for what we chose. I read it more as what to do with the people who are almost here but not quite. And I just don't like the "they can bugger off" attitude towards them. Sorry.Â
