Your not a lost cause, you clearly acknowledge that a life long commitment is not a race, instead you and your life are worth the time and effort to do well. Celebrate your resolve and self worth, it's fabulous!
It's hard to be single but once you try to embrace it and enjoy yourself, people take notice... Do things alone that you might feel too self conscious to do with others, it can be liberating 🤗 from one lonely soul to another...
I feel like when people say "Why are you still single?" What they mean to say is "You know, you are so amazing that I'm surprised you haven't found someone you want to be with considering you are so attractive there is no way you're struggling for choices." But it ends up coming across as kind of the opposite in most cases.
Why is Donald Trump pretty and I am not? But why does he only have a wife but I have TWO HANDSOME GIRLFRIENDS who I show off in my masterpiece YT videos? Do you know the answer, dear dan
But that answer is really easy. Because we're loyal, work together, communicate and are each others everything...totally different to being single as in you are alone and the connotation is you are defective in some way
I've found that if a person really does want to talk about their trauma, and they feel comfortable with you to do it, they'll bring it up themselves, never need to ask them
Exactly, best thing to do if you're curious is to wait for them to bring it up while you "there there" them, biting your tongue. If you can wait for them to "get ready," you can wait for them to open up.
Everyone should know "Do you want to talk about it?" This gives a quick no at which time you change the subject allowing them not to dwell on it or they open up.
Yes. With the pregnancy one, I would feel very insensitive to just change te subject, unless the vibe would really be that that would be what she wanted. I would want to acknowledge and then check how much the person would want to share about it, or change the subject.
Socializing was an issue for me even before the pandemic. Being around too many people exhausted me, especially if they invited drama and stress that's unwarranted. I'm slowly getting back out there, but it's taking a bit of time
Sooooo...don't be around people that love drama. Trust me if they will talk to you about it then they will talk to others about you and you become the 'drama'
This is a really fine line, because if you don't ask any deeper or change the subject on those questions, it could be interpreted as you not caring and the person feels like their problems don't matter. All about how well you know the person and if you think they like to open up or not.
I find, if the situation is really uncertain and they brought it up first, asking them if they want to talk about it works pretty well. That way, you give the other person control of the conversation and make them feel like you're accounting for their feelings.
@@sosanmia3 same for me. Letting them know you're keen to talking about it if they want shows you're interested and you care, and letting them decide what they want to do shows you respect them.
I congratulated my co-worker on her pregnancy. She wasn't. She still doesn't like me. I'm not good at conversations. So, in the future, someone can literally have a baby coming out of her and I'm not saying a thing.
It’s okay. The other day on the bus this guy said to this other guy for this girl “let her sit , she’s pregnant” she said “I’m not pregnant”. These things happen, she had a little bump ish
Anna, your standard of integrity shows in your character of your videos. They are quite impressive young lady. Thanks for sharing your story with us that watch your channel. Yours truly Ed.
If you ask 'how's the baby' and she makes clear from her look that something went wrong, just apologize. Don't change the subject. Acknowledge her pain and offer to comfort her...
I'm still single because let's see I'm an introvert, anti-social, manic depressive, plus my last relationship ended so badly that it seriously scarred me.
Please stop asking Disabled people for their private medical information, it can be traumatic and not something we want to relive for a stranger in a grocery store.
Whenever anyone asks “Why are you still single?” it’s a lowkey passive aggressive dig at you. Period. If someone has to bother asking you why you’re single without the context, there’s no need to explain yourself

@@EricGraham94 no. Stop making black or white judgments on things. Not everything is one or the other. Conversations are nuanced. In the past people have asked me why I’m still single, and I took it as a compliment and wasn’t offended at all. Not only does it mean they think I’m desirable, it means they think other people should think I’m desirable too. And their intention was curiosity about how a person who is clearly desirable to many people would not have found anyone yet, because all logic says they would have found someone. Stop the polarized thinking and realize that not everything is cut and dry. People are complex and could have a multitude of different intentions behind the things they say.
Most of us have been through alot of turmoil in relationships through out our lifetimes. The reason most of us our single ,is that as time goes by, we are looking for more of a deeper connection with someone, and most of us dont want to waste our time in reconnecting with people, and end up just getting hurt again and again and again. As they say ,better safe then sorry.
I have found that a good thing to ask instead of asking for details about a traumatic experience (particularly if the experience is recent and they brought it up) is "do you want to vent about that?" or "do you want to talk about it?" That way they know I'm there for them but don't feel pressured to divulge any more information than they want to.
here in Brazil with the slow vaccination the priority group includes high-risk people who have a number of conditions... The number of inappropriate questions people are getting about their conditions like we're supposed to divulge our entire medical histories to others is bizarre
people are normally very protective and don’t allow u to just BE ur friend and relax in their homes and socialize without issues EVEN AFTER they invited u IN THEIR LIFE. You never asked to be their friend. They led everything. And now everyone tends to escape the trauma bonds! We ARE such a catch that no one does want us. Ur right! It’s very true. All the more reason to just keep silent & keep our distance
But, for those who didn't socialize much, or were introverts, before all this started, didn't miss much, and will now just go back to their regular routine.
I really like the way she shows herself to be the one at fault in many of these scenes, not just the victim of insensitive relationship status questions, etc. And she does a really great, sleazy guy too, so that one is an easy win/win. 👍

Yeah We just thought like why are we protecting him!! Shivers Down my spain. So common sense. But gets cloudy some times. Brave adn honest ladies!!!
Everybody has been asking about my life choices and all it comes out as is "why aren't you enough?". They're just curious, but they don't understand what they're asking about when they get curious
I’ve heard every insult and assumption in the book. I don’t understand why people can’t just leave you alone and let you live your life and then them live their own. Why does everyone expect you to be exactly like them?
I was once out for dinner with two friends and one of them asked the other “if and when she’d consider getting a nose job” the rest of the dinner was very awkward.
I think that a good answer is to say straightaway "I don't like personal questions and you should not be curious about my personal life. I'm not interested in yours, so please, don't be impertinent". If the person continue asking, firmly say them that that is disrespectful and if they cannot control themselves, you will cut ties with them. Impertinent people do not deserve respect.
Yes, and be willing to address that you see your question may have hurt or crossed a line and say something like " I am sorry, I should have realized that isn't my place to ask" or for something like the loss of the baby "I'm sorry I hadn't heard, if you ever want to talk about it I am here for you..." and bring up a neutral topic.
Have you done any videos that go into specifics on the thought process that changed your perspective on excavating trauma to cultivate deep connections?
