The Dread and Denial of being asked, "The Question" ~ Part 4 (my response)
Its now time for a few of the thought provoking questions I asked for months ago. . . . Why does it [being asked your relationship status] cause you to react? Is there some deeper feelings/issues on your part? Oh yikes, that one came suddenly! So folks, what is a reaction? noun : reaction ; plural noun : reactions an action performed or a feeling experienced in response to a situation or event. R eactions are often done on impulse, without putting much thought into it or considering what the end result may be. But anyway, you didn't come here to read definitions from a dictionary. Why does it cause us to react? Does it make us feel the need to defend ourselves? Then if we have to defend ourselves, are we not content, or do we feel our value as a person is lower? "Why is this a question that we as youth/young adults struggle with?" I feel this goes back to how we see value as a single person. Or how others see our value.
