What is appropriate behaviour for a thirty year old woman (who still says 'girl' about herself) who is single, smart, ambitious and terrified of being un-loved, un-liked and un-desired?
I was reliably informed that drinking until 7am and kissing other people's boyfriends, among other pretty awful behaviours, was not appropriate. At best it is disordered and manic and at worst it is destructive, selfish and, put simply, wrong.
It is funny the sense of self matched with the idea of how the rest of world sees it can be so misaligned with what others see.
I am sure, in this, I am usual. Surely I am? The trouble is, all around me, I see high-functioning adults with wedding rings and shopping bags from Waitrose and I worry.
