Had a partner glued to me 24/7. Felt like having a teenager, not a relationship. Never again.
No friends + only me = emotional full-time job without salary. Hard pass.
I don’t want to be anyone’s entire world. People need friends, hobbies, a life.
As an anxious 20-something, I think I want the no-friends one… but I know that would turn toxic fast.
Give me the social butterfly. I like seeing my partner shine.
Second option sounds romantic until you realize you’re their whole social life… exhausting.
I’ll take the popular partner. If we trust each other, random DMs don’t matter.
