You're Not Unlovable, You're Desperate

Just a fellow single lady's perspective on the over-dramatic-female mindset

You're Not Unlovable, You're Desperate
Stereogum

Okay, girls, it is time to get things straight. It is time to stop sulking and feeling down on yourself because of yet another failed attempt at a relationship. Or you know what, maybe it wasn't an attempt. Maybe you just had a failed relationship. Either way, all of this why-doesn't-anyone-love-me bullshit has got to stop. So let's start with the problem. You're not unlikable, or unlovable. You are desperate. You want so badly for someone to want you and to need you that you go to unreasonable measures to attract the attention of some boy. Actually not just "some boy" but any boy that is willing to give you attention. This is your problem.

Let me clue you in, if getting a guys attention is stressing you out. He isn't worth it. If you're passed getting his attention and now you're stuck wondering what his intentions are, because they aren't clear. It is not worth it. If you find yourself spending time trying to decode what his tweets mean or wondering why he opened your snap but didn't reply. It is not worth it. If you're making excuses for his actions. It is not worth it. If you find yourself retweeting things that you hope he will see. First of all, just don't, because it is NOT worth it.

Honestly, not only is it not worth it. You are only hurting yourself. If you have to try that hard more than likely you're wasting your time because this boy does not want to be with you. Now, what I need you to realize, is that it is not your fault. It isn't because you're not good enough. It isn't because you didn't try hard enough. No amount of calls, texts, subtweets, or social media stalking is going to make him want you. A boy that does not want to be cuffed, will not be cuffed. You cannot change someone and you cannot make them want things that they do not want. That does not mean that there is anything wrong with you, it means it is not the right boy and it is not the right time. Pick yourself up, because you are not broken. Put on a really cute outfit, not because you're trying to impress anybody, but because it makes you feel good about yourself. Enjoy being single, you're not as lonely as you think you are.

I do want to add, however, that yes once you do find the right boy it will require some effort. But it will not bring you stress and it will be second nature to you. You won't feel like you're doing something wrong. His intentions will be clear. You will know where you stand without having to question yourself. It will just happen, naturally, and until it does all of the dramatics need to stop. Because if there is one this I need you to take away from this: it is not worth it.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
