How to speak “people”

It’s been two years that I’ve been dating, and I have to say: I’ve learned a lot about myself through the way others react to me.

Being an onion isn’t easy when it comes to making new friends or dating.

Most people don’t really understand depth and complexity, which is exactly the essence of an onion-person.

So yes, many people simply don’t get me or the path I’m on. It took me time to accept that. But it’s something I need to keep in mind when I interact with others, because it means I have to adapt the way I communicate.
They don’t speak Onion.
So I have to speak “People.”

Tinder destroyed my Man Myth

I like Tinder.

Actually, every time I chat with a guy on Tinder, one of the first questions he asks me is: “Why are you on this horrible app?”

And honestly, I always find that funny because… well, what about you?

Because I’ve developed a strong intolerance for all the bullshit society taught me, I actually enjoy Tinder.

I grew up with this “Man Myth”, the idea that someone would rescue me, that I needed a man to be happy, some kind of superhero and I’d be the princess he saves.

But Tinder is a far more truthful place than the Man-Myth universe.
I’d rather stay here, learning tolerance and acceptance for reality, than switch my brain off and wait for the next huge disappointment.
