My partner is my favorite person and I'm his. I would assume it's true for (at least) many couples. Am I missing something, or are people just lonely?

Yeah, I don't think this post is addressing folks who are in a relationship. ๐Ÿ˜…

Yeah, fair enough ๐Ÿ˜„

That would be majority of lemmy users.

What about everyone else who does not have a partner?

Of course, I just felt the premise was too specific to be relatable, because many people are someone's favorite, and it's not typical to wonder if you are someone's favorite even when your lonely. But maybe that's just me.

That's great but it's important to have friendships outside of your relationship as well.

It's that what the post is about?

People are just lonely.
