Individuality is a Myth
I've always hated the idea of having to define myself. The thought of having to condense my entire being into a short bio or choose a picture that best "represents" me is stressful enough to have prevented me from ever trying online dating or even having social media. But in an era obsessed with individuality, when everyone is constantly searching for words with which to define themselves and inventing new ones when the old don't feel quite right anymore (as if things like sexuality and political opinions can ever fit neatly into a defined space), I feel alone in my abstinence.
