True.
One thing is that a lot of people tend to judge us based on external or materialistic things, but they don't know our inner selves, or who we are at heart, which is the most important. They tend to form opinions of us based on external things like how we look, what clothes we wear, how many cars we have, how rich or poor we are, what educational degree we have, how many friends we have, what job we are doing, and so on and so forth.
I think that people who care about those things too much, they are more likely to be affected by the opinions of others. They sort of lost connection with their inner selves and that's why the voices and superficial judgements of other people drown out their own; they are not able to be honest with themselves. And correspondingly, their self-understanding starts to become more and more cloudy.

I just didn't quite agree with that one, but I agree with everything else you said.
I am 27 and single and I enjoy it, too.
