Single during Christmas time...?

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?

Single during Christmas time...?
I don't think jealousy is the right word, they just aren't open to the idea. I have a friend who is getting married this march and still plans on living with her parents afterwards. Many people find that strange but who the hell cares. She and her fiance love her parents and they all get along really well. True you have a different situation but you should still remember that if they judge you so quickly then they truely don't understand.


As for the girlfriend thing- don't even worry about it. I'm 21 and I've never had a serious relationship. I just figure the right guy will come along one day... hopefully
Reply:Are you serious? Sorry man, but that is sort of wierd.





You're almost 30 and have yet to take on any of the responsibility of independence. Are you planning on living with your parents your whole life? I mean cmon.





Anyone can choose to live with their parents their whole life, but that is the easy way. If you don't want to face reality, fine. But you seriously need to move out man. I dunno what else to say.
