Which people?

The ones with high chargeability? No those people aren’t worried.

The ones with low chargeability? No those people aren’t worried either…because they aren’t smart enough to know they are in danger.

Used to think I was independent and stoic enough to not care about dating & relationships, and then I realized it'd be really nice to share my time and energy with someone.
