YunJu Chung "People like us:The Quirkyalones"

"We are the puzzle pieces who seldom fit with other puzzle pieces." "Being quirkyalone can be difficult. Everyone else is part of a couple! Still, there are advantages."

After reading these sentences, I really understand. It is hard to suit fancy everyone. So, someone likes to do things single-handed, the others want to do together like me. I don't like to be alone. Sometimes, I want to be, though. These days, many people want to be singles because they don't want to interfere with their freedom. However, as author said, everyone else is part of a couple. Wherever we go, we have to meet each other. We live together, shere sorrows and joy. People who are very nearly related to us will stand by me in time of need. But someone else dose not want,of course.
Therefore, it may be a world of contradictions. We just do live we like and be who we want to.

we living in one big community, just living by yourself doesn't make you special or separate from the big community; the World. It is not a special thing (i'm saying this because some single people thing they are special.. from what i saw). people need to realize that We run the world. Not only you or them.!

Are quirkyalones too selfish? (leslie)

Some people say that people who live alone are usually selfish, because they don't want to share their time, care, wealth, life, feelings, or anything good or bad with others. Therefore, the only way for them to keep everything to themselves is to live alone.

I think it might be true in some part, though not all. In long human civilization, people decide to live in a community which becomes the unit of human society.Though at the very beginning, they did so to keep themselves safe from danger, it finally became the fixed system of human beings even today. It means we need other people in every way. No matter it is their own choice or not, the quirkyalones will give up their isolated lifestyle as soon as they find the right companion.
