A lady said this to me. I was like "what?".

I guess there are people out there that think that's the only thing life has to offer.

I keep myself very busy and fulfilled and I've never felt lonely. Maybe I'm missing something.

Some people just want you to be as miserable as them. Enjoy your life the way you want to and don't listen to anyone else.

That is just a limited mind. People like that have no thought process that would allow themselves to think outside the strict rules of social mores from decades ago. Absolutely ridiculous.

She sounds like a judgmental idiot. Perhaps she just wants you to feel bad, while giving herself a little pump...

All that said, yes you might be missing something, but maybe you don't care and aren't interested.

Not even close to bring true. A very obtuse way of thinking.

Whoever she is, she's an idiot.

Honestly when I was younger people like this would really irritate the hell out of me. Now, I'd just let it roll right off of me. People this ignorant really don't even deserve to be acknowledged.

She was giving you her opinion. You are entitled to give her yours, especially if she introduced he subject.

There are a lot of people who cannot imagine any life but their own, or any set of values except theirs. This lack of imagination is probably a reflection of their lack of empathy.

Could also be they are ignorant. They cleave to their views because their views are the only ones they know.

Too bad so many of this kind are in politics, so as to make laws that constrain and extort money from the rest of us. Too bad so many citizens screech mantras like rabid monkeys, while believing they are thus engaged in analysis and critical thinking.

As a society, we are devolving into a gooey progressivist mass, incapable of distinguishing propaganda from civil discourse.
