Is it normal to worry about the feelings of lonesome tea bags?

When I make tea I always try to make two cups. Most tea bags in my country come in two's, so I have to separate them if I am to only make one cup. This makes me fear that the left over tea bag will be heartbroken and alone, while surrounded by so many coupled tea bags.

Worse still, if someone else has made only one cup and I need to make four, is it better to put that lonely tea bag out of its misery, ultimately replacing it with another lonely tea bag, or to leave him/her be and destroy two couple tea bags as they will only be in pain for seconds before dying together.

I drink a lot of tea. The Struggle is Real.

    You are stuck in an infinite tea bag loop. There is no known cure.
    You might try introducing the lone tea bag to one of those socks that has no mate. They may just hit it off.

      Laughter truly is the best medicine - I actually feel better about it now!

    Maybe the tea bag is really having a struggle to define its sexuality and gender orientation? You could send them on a 12 step program.

    Or better still, the uncoupled tea bags could spend the night in bed with you snuggled up under your armpits or next to your pillow.

    I hate to break it to you hunny but I really don't care. But hey if it's normal to you don't stop it. Continue what your doing. And don't let anybody tell you different.

    Sounds to me as if you are a pretty soft touch.
    You see, I once had two, but now only one and it's lonely as can be. If you could see yourself chucking in a million or two I could see that that one will never ever be lonely again. For three mil, I could insure it through several succeeding lifetimes.
    And there's this bridge.......

      I'm 100% serious. It becomes a moral dilemma and I actually feel really sorry for the lonely ones.

      But at least I have a cup of tea to make me feel better afterwards.

      And I'm not heartsick. This has happened since childhood.

        Sounds like you care about people who might be lonely.

        I agree everyone should have friends :)
