This is incredibly useful, enlightening and eye opening. I think it takes courage as a youngster to choose to remain single. I was perpetually single, not necessarily out of choice and all my friends went from relationship to relationship. I often wondered what was wrong with me. How others could find so many people to connect with and I couldn’t find any. But I now recognise this have me space to get to know myself. Surprisingly I think I’m relatively secure in attachment. But that may be a reflection of the partners I’ve ended up with. I can see how easily I could become anxious! Thanks for this piece!
