Single during holidays...?

What is it about Christmas time that makes other people become so intrusive into the personal lives of others? I am a single, straight, 28 year old male and I have always been single. That's right, I've never had a girlfriend or even experienced me first kiss. Big deal right? Well my parents leave me alone about this, but not my extended family, friends and even co-workers. It's especially weird at work because I never mentioned that I am currently single. Obviously people are really interested in my life for some reason. This conversation inevitably leads to everyone asking me why I still live at home. They just don't get that I have no need to move out and that my family enjoys living together. I live with my parents (rent free) and other adult siblings and everything is working out great. When I need to move out I will. When I need to have a girlfriend I will. Are people simply jealous that I have complete freedom and no financial responsibilities?

  1. They could be worried about you. Most people, well at least reletives, are nosy because they care. They don't want you to be lonley, they might think you want a girlfriend, or that you veed a girl in your life. Just let them know you are happy where you are, and will make the move when the time comes. As for your co-workers, it really shouldn't be any of their buisness, so next time they bring it up, change the subject, or flat out tell them "I don't think i need to tell you that" don't be rude, but make sure they know their place.
  2. kind of a big deal but it is none of their business it is ur life so ur descision if that makes u happy they should respect that
