The last thing I want to do is offend people who are single or say something in a way that sounds like I have loneliness figured out or singleness figured out. I received some great responses on the anonymous survey for this episode, so most of what I say is coming from people who are single or were single recently who have insight and experience with loneliness and singleness.
