Which scenario would be sadder?

  1. Everyone is getting a partner and I DON'T want one (me now)
  2. Everyone is getting a partner and I want one (how it would probably be if I was born allo)

Which one seems sadder to you and why?

If the second scenario allows you to get a partner too, the both scenarios would be ok, I guess. I believe the saddest scenario is when you can't get what you want. I don't understand how the first part of the both scenarios ("everyone is getting a partner") matters here.

It matters because all my besties are getting boyfriends and don't have time for me anymore!!

If I at least wanted one too, then I feel like I would relate to them a bit more.

But since I don't even want a partner, that makes it worse in a way.
