@jakehamilton being in the same boat for a while now I've thought long and hard about why this is the case, and come to conclusion that it's more voluntary than the internet would make one believe. I genuinely believe I have too many flaws to subject someone else to, and my time's better spent working on myself than worrying about the FOMO of my friends dating and getting married. I'm still not there but I can see the improvement year over year and that's enough for now.
