No offense meant to my friends, but this List Your Self list gives me space to express what I won't express elsewhere.

I can tell myself this isn't hypocritical because I haven't been in a relationship in seven years and I don't plan to get into one anytime soon. I got tired of interpersonal dysfunction.

• "I like him, but he doesn't like me back."
• "I like him, but I'm afraid to do anything about it."
• "Everyone says he's wrong for me, but I really like him."
