My whole life I’ve been a deep thinker. I spent a lot of time in my head, always thinking and analyzing things. But surprisingly love was never something I spent much time pondering. In the last 6 months, I reevaluated my life completely and started wondering about love. I came to an unfortunate realization that I might have never felt it. I certainly have my own perception of “love” based on media and real life experiences of people I know but these stories never resonated with me.

Since childhood, I have always valued my independence and appeared as self-absorbed to strangers. I am emotionally stingy and not particularly expressive. These things just do not come naturally to me. My life is very self-centered (who else can it be centered around?), and I’m content with being my life’s main character but… What if I shared this life with someone else? I started thinking about this more often. I love people and crave human connection but I have always felt like my desires have been somewhat primitive. The romantic connection was never this magical feeling for me I hear people talk about. I have never experienced the longing and care for a romantic partner. I cannot think of the time my thoughts were occupied by anyone in a romantic way. And what if I’m missing out? - that is the question that essentially bothers me the most. I do go on dates, have men around me but I can barely bring myself to care about most of them. I’m invested for a short period of time when I “get to know” them, and once I resolved the mystery and the excitement from a new person wears off, I disappear.

If love has been described in so many beautiful ways by various artists, writers, musicians, etc., it must something worthy, right? I have been told everyone experiences love eventually but if they don’t? I sincerely believe it could be not in the cards for me in this lifetime. If so, how do you live in a society that centers love and romance so much? I’m truly curious about it, so all thoughts will be appreciated.

I’m very new to Cortis and know almost nothing about the group. In the last couple of days my feed was flooded with Cortis videos; all of the members seem great but Keonho stood out to me. This is genuinely the first idol after jungkook who truly impressed me. I was shocked to find out he’s only 16! I wanted to ask you guys what do you think makes Keonho so fun to observe? He’s good looking and charismatic but so are a lot of other idols. Maybe he’s just meant to be a star. He definitely has a very bright future ahead of him

I’m getting my first tattoo in two weeks and initially I wanted it somewhere on the side, on my ribs, slightly below my underarms. Recently I have read too many horror stories about how painful rib tattoos are and now I’m thinking if I should consider a “safer” placement. It’s a small tattoo, nothing elaborate. Do you think I should stick with my plan or change the placement to avoid discomfort? Thank you!

What’s up with Manon solo stans shoving down everyone’s throat the fact that Manon is literally THE visual of the group and was scouted for exceptional otherworldly show-stopping beauty but when you tell them that her appearance is the sole reason she made it to the group because she’s objectively the least skilled in the group, they go nuclear on you and say some shit like “she’s actually second best dancer in the group” or “she’s one of the best vocalists” and “yall reduce her to just a pretty face”. Like make it make sense
