Single and circled by couples

Have you ever been in a situation when you are the only single person in your group of friends and everybody else is in a couple? Sometimes you just don't care and you ADORE your freedom and not having a guy that follows you everywhere and that cares too much (or at least you act like you don't care). Glad that the only person you have to worry about is yourself and happy that your friends are happy in a couple. But there is always another side.

Times when every love song makes you sad or want to break something. Times when couples poseballs depress you. Times when you feel like the outsider in your own group of friends, like the 5th wheel of the wagon, the spare. Sometimes feeling like you are loosing your friends but still saying to yourself: "Of course they should care more about the person they love then about me". Times when seeing couple pictures or hearing about happy couple's stories just makes you twitch. Times when you want to yell that it's not because you are single that you are less interesting. Times when you feel your friends are rubbing it in your face even if they aren't. Times when you feel jealous (but hide it, of course). Times when you wish you were in a couple yourself.

All I'm saying to the ones that are in a couple: be careful. Yes, I'm very happy for my friends that have found their other half in SL, but sometimes it's a torture to see all that mushy love.

My final word: Don't drop your friends like old toys.
