We attend all these fairytale weddings, see couple kissing on the beach, see hot celebs showing some extra love in the media, watch hot couples working out together, the realize…WE HATE BEING SINGLE. Being single is sometimes viewed negatively in today’s society. “Singleness” can be a touchy topic for some, making them defensive and upset.
Why is that so many of us hate being single?
1. The loneliness
When the loneliness hits you at night, all you want to do is cuddle up in bed, watch The Notebook and cry till you fall asleep. Am I right or am I right? You don’t care about having a boyfriend at this point. It’s just about having someone there who you can cuddle with and who will act like your personal diary. You want to tell someone about the good, the bad, the funny, & even the embarrassing. But who?
2. Lacking adventure
Tumblr, Instagram & Twitter has to make you jealous when you see couples taking pictures at colored walls and local coffee shops. Don’t you want to try all those different restaurants and dessert bars with someone besides your girlfriends or “Bros”? I mean think about it, who doesn’t want to going on shopping sprees with bae, or maybe a day at couple spa, or even skydiving together?
3. The pressure
You have this constant pressure on you given by your friends and family. All your friends end up finding “The one” and all you can think about is, why cant you? Family continuously tells you that you need to be like your sister and find someone and get your life together. Just being single seems like your life is more behind than everyone else’s. Once you hit your mind to late twenties, you feel like you’ll be forever single, don’t you?
4. The other couples
What does the beach, the mall, the college campus and Universal Studios have in common? ITS FILLED WITH THE CUTEST COUPLES YOU’LL EVER SEE! Doesn’t that make you jealous? You’ll see PDA that seems gross, but deep down you wish it were you. When you see couples taking care of each other when they’re sick and all you can do is call up your mom for that homemade soup recipe for your nasty flu.
5. “The singleness”
Maybe the single life just isn’t for you. We’ve all heard “I love being single” but do they really? Who would like to be lonely all the time? Of course we all need our time alone, but we also need that special mate to show us love and affection. We need someone to constantly make us feel special. We all have self-confidence and we’re all beautiful people, but what even better? Two self- confident and beautiful who love each other.
I hate being single.
