I think we need to talk about something: there's still a weird stigma around admitting you want companionship.
For some reason, we've normalized being alone. We call it "me time" and "self-care," which are real and important. But somewhere along the way, wanting to spend time with another person became something people felt they had to apologize for.
I'm done with that narrative.
Wanting companionship isn't weakness. It's not desperation. It's not settling. It's being human.
We're social creatures. We're meant to connect, to share experiences, to have someone witness our lives. When we pretend we don't need that, we do ourselves a disservice. We end up isolated, burnout, disconnected from what actually makes life feel full.
I think what's shifting now—especially in places like New York—is that people are getting braver about asking for what they need. Whether that's therapy, coaching, or yes, companionship services. We're realizing that there's no shame in recognizing a gap in our lives and choosing to fill it.
The most self-aware people I know are the ones willing to say, "I need this." They're not waiting for a perfect moment or the perfect circumstances. They're taking action because they understand that connection matters.
If you're considering reaching out for companionship, I see you. And I think you're making a wise choice.
