It's okay to desire opposite genders company, people will call u names, but it's alright ur not desperate, human brain works like that, only opposite gender can make u complete at a certain age, companionship is what one seeks after the office hrs, many people don't get chances to interact to opposite gender due to skewed ratios, social anxiety and fear of judgement. It's okay don't be hard on yourself and never listen to those who catcall you. I see ratios are skewed and it's undeniably true. Those who boast about a lot of interaction with opposite gender are themselve very underconfident it's just that they got to interact with opposite gender organically. It's okay to seek companionship and don't feel down if people call u by words, we are humans afterall who at the end of the day bow down before our turbulent emotions.
