7 Things To Tell Yourself When You Feel Bad About Being Single by phlio(m): 11:20pm On Mar 23, 2015
It only takes one

Relationships sneak up on you. People sneak
up on you. It’s the guy you meet and
instantly hit it off with, or the girl that
you’ve known forever that you suddenly see
in a new light. It doesn’t matter how many
people reject you or how many crappy first
dates you go on because you don’t need all
those people to like you, you only need the
right person to like you.

Your friends in relationships are
unhappy

There’s good and bad parts of every
relationship but as a small consolation to
single people, they get to be an impartial
observer of a lot of people’s bleeped up
relationships. Fighting in public, power
struggles, sex droughts–these things are
comfort to people on the outside looking in,
who need your relationship to not look quite
so tempting and unattainable.

The best is yet to come

Being single is like being at the beginning of
the story, even if the story ends with you still
being alone. When you are married you’ve
reached the end of the story, at least in our
faulty cultural understanding of how your
life is supposed to work. When you are
single, anything can happen. Your life can
turn in a million directions. Married people
have shut doors that are still open to you.

You are the most important person
in your life

When you have an important decision to
make, you consider your wants and needs
and then act. You don’t need to consult
another person and ask for their approval or
consider how your success or failures will
hurt them. You have freedom and mobility.

Your life is a romantic comedy

Everyone is a potential crush, so you can flirt
with them all. I personally consider flirting to
be one of the most fun activities of being
alive. It makes you feel good, it makes the
other person feel desirable and cool, it’s a
win win. And it’s awesome.

Being single doesn’t mean you are a
loser
There’s some seriously ugly people in
relationships. People with terrible
personalities can always find someone to put
up with them. Death row inmates find love.
So, it’s probably not the case that you’re
uglier, dumber, and more annoying than
everyone else in the world. The simpler (and
more likely to be correct) solution is that it
has nothing to do with these factors. You’re
just single because you haven’t met them,
yet.

You are becoming a better person

When you are working towards a goal, like
being single and wanting to be in a
relationship, you need to make changes in
order to get closer to your goal. So, you are
becoming a better person while you are
single. Of course you’ll want to continue that
same drive when you’re coupled, but part of
commitment is loving someone at their
worst–while courtship is about presenting
and being your best. Granted it’s because
you have to be, but when you’re single,
you’re on top of your game.

You should also remember to tell yourself that no one wants to be with you, which is the primary reason you're single.

Just kidding....



You're Awesome.. (and that's why you're single)
