Yep. People may not want life to be about selling yourself, but that's the way it is.

Anyone is free to reject it. And that person is likely to live their life without their work being recognized, their ideas being appreciated, or their ingenuity to find the hands of those whom it would benefit.

I wonder how fulfilling that feels?

No friends and no spouse, either.

I have friends and i have a spouse, i never sold myself to them and they never sold themselves to me. Quite frankly the idea of it is disgusting.

So, you never do things just to please them? You have no filters on what you say to them? You're not on your best behavior on a first date? You only bathe when medically necessary? You dress only for comfort? When you have a photo taken you don't try to smile and stand up straight?

I'm not buying it.

That works for short term relationships. Long term ones work differently.

The divorce rate comes from people thinking they no longer need to please their partner.

That's not selling. It's odd that the only coordination you seem to recognise is negotiated between buyers and sellers.

It most definitely is. It’s odd that you refuse to recognize a thing for what it is.
