Last night a male acquaintance was expressing to me how it kind of baffles him that I'm still single and that I've dated so many more people than him since we briefly dated. Which was great, because it just reminded me of the feeling I've had before that no one will ever choose me and I started thinking "maybe I'm no one's forever." Which is just super helpful in the grand scheme of things. I basically told him to STFU, that what he was saying wasn't helpful, and he apologized. But it just sucked to have those thoughts come back up after so long. Ugh. Dating is not for the faint-hearted.
I feel you. If I get the “You’re so great, how on earth are you still single?” Comment one more time I may blow a gasket!

Thank you!!!! It's not a helpful comment! I'm glad, but also not glad, that you understand.
