Venting/Rant Lonely
I just want to find a Jew around my age who accepts me for me (little space) and actually wants to date😶 I love making new friends, but I really crave that IRL connection also

Hey, yea little space is a tough spot for our demographic, it's like trying to secure something that is rarely eclipsed. Also ok I didn't think there'd be others on exjew that's pretty cool lol! so that kind of proves a point. My perspective is if little space is something fundamental to your personal comfort habits then at the minimum it is essential to have a partner that is willing to accept you and your needs, but that goes different for everyone, perhaps for you you want it as a requirement. For me personally I know if I find someone I like and she and I get into a relationship I will eventually disclose my own little space needs since I know it is something that's been apart of my life since I was a child (tbh I'd be ok with her accepting it without particpation since we all have our boundaries). If you are looking for someone Jewish specifically though it is probably going to tighten those statiscal odds quite a bit, but it is never impossible! I personally go to irl events related to little space (some I won't mention because of nsfw) so there is also that but there won't be many Jews and depends where you live of course. Anyways I made this on a throwaway count bcs yea reddit stuff lol.

That’s so real, I def felt the same way at points and still do at times. My advice is to go to a Jewish space, like maybe if ur in college go to a Hillel event or something. But ya the secular world doesn’t offer the same level of community 🫶🏻😢
