Normally, people are single because a higher power still thinks they have some figuring out to do for themselves, whether those people realize it or not.
After throwing several "why am I single?" pity parties and constantly getting heartbroken, I finally realized this simple lesson. I'm just not ready to be in a relationship. Personally, I don't think it's because I'm immature, but I think it's because I still have a lot of learning to do for myself. I'm only eighteen. I've barely even experienced the world! I'm still learning about what personalities I vibe with and what interests I have. I still have a long way to go.
I'm not the only one who's dealt with the same pity party. A ton of people experience this all the time! In society, being single is almost looked down upon. People get congratulated and admired if they're in a relationship. The longer the relationship, the more admiration. Most of the time people obsess over relationships like they're the most important thing in the entire universe. On the contrary, if someone admits they're single, they get the sad, solemn looks. "Oh, I'm sorry. You'll find someone someday" is a normal comment. My question is, why are you apologizing? Being single is great!
Being single is the prime time of your life in my opinion. People are more likely to get their goals accomplished while they're single opposed to when they're in a relationship. When you're in a relationship, you're obsessing more over the person you're with, and not yourself.
Another reason being single is great is because you have the complete freedom to do what you want (unless it's illegal, then don't do that). You can talk to whom you want, do whatever you want to do and hang out with who you want to. The freedom is like a breath of fresh air!
When you're single, you don't have to worry about getting heartbroken. Well you could, but it's your personal choice (which goes back to the "you can talk to whom you want to" thing). Basically, you can go through heartbreak, but in my personal experience, short flings definitely hurt way less than a relationship gone bad.
Being single isn't as bad as the world makes it out to be, trust me. Having all that time to yourself could really benefit you. A bad relationship or any sort of heartbreak usually ends up teaching you a lesson that you can apply in the future. So if any of you are going through the "I'm single" pity party, just remember what I said. Being single can be great, if you make it out to be!
