      It’s good that you’re honest with your feelings. The point being made is that almost everyone is being left out, having normal experiences. The good news is that one day you’ll probably get another normal experience of falling for someone and having a deep connection in addition to sex.

      Who is telling you that casual sex is common? Where did they hear it? At its root, it’s mostly sold as a way to prey on male insecurities. Social media literally profits off you being insecure and engaging with a myth that everyone is hooking up but you.

      I know. Cried myself to sleep over it when I was younger. Seems a bit silly now, but I think a lot of us go through those feelings. I can’t help that, but I can assure you you’ll have a different perspective on it some day. For all the good it does you now.

      If it helps, my thirties were much wilder than my youth.
