Why is living simply and within your needs viewed negatively?
Meanwhile, having $1000 worth of throw pillows that are purely decorative, is some sort of achievement?
FWIW I live alone in a 2bed/1bath condo that's 1100 sq ft, and people tell me my place is 'too small' and I need a 3+bed/2+bath place that's like 1500sqft. Baffles me. and by people I mean, mostly women. Most men think my place is plenty spacious and great.
The house I grew up in was 1200 sq ft with 5 people. Blows my mind that the apartment I own is basically the same size as a house, but apparently unless I live in a McMansion sized space, I 'have issues'.
This is so weird, because I also have anecdotes about lots of women who live in 500sqft studios and love it, and their male partners/friends judge them for not having more space because they can't stay over or "party" there. My roommate's ex-boyfriend was like this, and we lived in a 2bed/2.5bath.
It's as if you've surrounded yourself with assholes, and decided it's a gendered problem.
so your female friends only date assholes? isn't that the classic nice guy belief?
No, they dumped them and got much nicer and less judgemental people in their lives. Sucks that you won't experience that type of growth anytime soon if your replies are anything to go by.
Good luck with being a victim or whatever you're trying.
i'm not trying anything. but you sure are ;)
