User blog comment:Eikakou/Anne (2017) episode 6 - Remorse Is the Poison of Life review/@comment-4934571-20170428013127/@comment-1442230-20170428233831

Speaking from my own personal experience, it seems understandable to feel as though you're a "weirdo" if there's a lot of pressure to find someone to be with because that's what everyone around you expects (because that's what everyone else is doing), even if that's not what you really want for yourself at the moment. I'm actually in my late 20s now and I live in a large city. I didn't have the means to travel (my socio-economic background doesn't include a lot of money, though I finished university by my mid-20s and have a modest paying job now), but I've also never dated anyone either. I still don't have much interest dating or getting married or having children. I don't think it's necessary wrong to want to find someone to love and marry, but I don't like the idea that it is an expectation for a woman to want and achieve these things - I really felt that was the part of the episode with Anne and Josephine that I could really relate to in this episode.

In short, I want to say it's okay if you feel like a "weirdo", but please don't think that there's anything wrong with you! Everyone sees the world differently, after all, and has different opportunities available to them.
