    Why are you taking offense to someone saying your lifestyle sounds terrible to them? They’re not saying you must be unhappy, just that they don’t want to live that way.

    I don’t want kids, and I’m sure those with kids that they wanted are very happy, and I’m glad there are people for whom that is a happy life because it wouldn’t be to me.

    Gotta edit my comment to say I was totally being autistic and completely missed your joke on the first pass, my bad!

      The remark about bragging suggests that this guy is unaware of the existence of other standards, which is something he can be legitimately mocked for.

      I’m not taking offense. It sounded to me like the guy in this image was taking offense. I was asking the same questions, you’re asking me now. “Why would you take offense to someone saying they’re happy?” Clearly I’m the only one interpeting it that way
