When you are single and unattached, people assume (albeit erroneously) that you have no commitments. People think that you can easily uproot yourself and come to their aid. People expect that you will be the party to bend over backwards at every circumstance. They demand like they own your time. They take like they have the right over your being and possessions. They quip about your aloneness like you will not be offended. You are the target of every wedding joke although you are the wallflower in every wedding.
People have these misconceptions because perhaps you allow them to have them. They know that you will give in and accommodate their "requests." They got used to you getting used to them. The more you do not care about your situation, the more they do not care about your situation. The more you pretend that these assumptions do not bother you, the more they will taunt you. The more you make yourself available to them, the more entitled they become.
