Why do so many progressives—and even some normies—act like loneliness is always a moral failure? Like, 'hur dur, you're lonely because you're a shitty person.' That's not always the case. More often, it's caused by things like life circumstances, mental illness, past trauma, even toxic culture—or personal qualities that someone may lack, not necessarily due to some deep moral flaw. When it comes to relationships, extraversion is actually a better predictor of how many sexual partners someone has than physical attractiveness or height.
