What is it about Christmas time that makes other people become so intrusive into the personal lives of others? I am a single, straight, 28 year old male and I have always been single. That's right, I've never had a girlfriend or even experienced me first kiss. Big deal right? Well my parents leave me alone about this, but not my extended family, friends and even co-workers. It's especially weird at work because I never mentioned that I am currently single. Obviously people are really interested in my life for some reason. This conversation inevitably leads to everyone asking me why I still live at home. They just don't get that I have no need to move out and that my family enjoys living together. I live with my parents (rent free) and other adult siblings and everything is working out great. When I need to move out I will. When I need to have a girlfriend I will. Are people simply jealous that I have complete freedom and no financial responsibilities?
Being single during Christmas time...?
People are just so intrusive. They have nothing going on in their lives and feel the need to bombard you with inappropriate questions. You know, you dont need to answer these questions. Just say you havent found the right person yet and you are doing everything in your own time. Good luck to you!! And, dont listen to other people. Be yourself. Just as you are. Everything will happen at its own pace.
