Oh no, my miserable life that’s devoid of any connection and anyone altogether otherwise *at least contains a friend.

What the fuck man, is this a real concern average people have that I’m way too fucking alienated to understand

(because of course they're incomplete as they are!)

Aren't we though, isn't that the whole point of having social solidarity with other people? If you don't need anyone else, why would you ever care about the state of society?

Why wouldn't you just be a Randian, then?

it is implying that the only way to have social solidarity is through a romantic relationship, when in reality, the way many people in the US practice romance is to let other social connections wither and make one other person their entire aocial support network.

contrary to the messaging of mass culture, the opposite of couplehood is not loneliness or solitude.
