I'm "self-partnered" but is this a real identity or am I just single and trying to make it sound intentional? Analyze my self-partnership: what does this mean to me? What's different from being single? Then expose: self-partnered was a Emma Watson PR move that people adopted; it's just being single with fancier language. Map what self-partnered gives me that "single" doesn't: does it feel more empowered? Less pathetic? More chosen? Show me what I'm really doing: genuinely loving solo life or just rebranding single because society makes me feel bad about it? Include: whether self-partnered is real or just single with better marketing, what I get from the term, and if this is identity or just cope.
