I see a lot of people saying it’s “okay” to be a virgin at 22, or if you’re 22 and have never been in a relationship, it’s “okay.” But it really isn’t. Most people lose their virginity when they’re teens, and most people get into their first relationships in high school. So if there’s a 22-year-old out there who’s still single, never been in a relationship, and is a virgin, they’re an outlier. They’re an anomaly, and it is something to feel bad and shameful about. It’s like never getting your driver’s license until you’re 21 or something. But it’s okay to feel bad and shameful—this can motivate you to make better decisions in life.
Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about.

I agree with you, and especially your last point.
Don’t let the losers on the internet convince you that it’s okay to be a loser, too. Misery loves company, and they have no problem tarnishing other people’s lives so they can feel better about themselves.
