Leave This, Read That: "How To Be Forever Alone in 8 Easy Steps" by Chelsea Fagan

"How To Be Forever Alone in 8 Easy Steps" by Chelsea Fagan.

I really don't need to write a response to this link. All I have to say is, who from Thought Catalog stumbled upon this blog and stole my mind? 

I mean...come on...

Step 6. Eschew any actual conversation for obscure blog entries, tweets, and status updates. 

Have a problem that needs to be addressed? Still have feelings for someone who used to be a big part of your life? Want to let a new prospect know that you may be interested in them? Talking to people is hard, and it might not go the way you want. It’s much better to just write something along the lines of “Some people really need to grow up,” “And if I could only stop thinking about you,” or “Where are we even going anymore?” It’s cleaner, simpler, and clearly gets the point across. Writing blogs like that are like lasers, guaranteed to shoot across the internet and into the eyes of the person you’re secretly trying to address. Just imagine when they stumble across your cryptic words, imagine the shame and urgency to respond they’ll feel when confronted with a few vague lines that may or may not have something to do with that argument that transpired a few weeks ago. It’s the internet equivalent of a cold slap in the face, and you should settle for nothing less.
