Not All Singles Are Lonely And Sad - Toke Makinwa by phosky(op): 6:45am On Dec 30, 2024
Media personality and entrepreneur, Toke Makinwa, has addressed the common societal misconception that single people are lonely and unhappy. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The former OAP, whose recent Thanksgiving party was mistakenly assumed to be an engagement celebration with a friend, took to the social media platform X to share her thoughts on singlehood. Makinwa expressed that life exists outside of romantic relationships and argued that the belief that being single equates to loneliness is misleading.

“It’s surprising how some people believe every single person is lonely. You’d be shocked by how content and happy many single people are. Don’t get me wrong, being in a relationship is great, but if you don’t find your own purpose, you can be with someone and still feel lonely.”

Makinwa stressed the importance of personal fulfillment over societal pressure to be in a relationship. She encouraged a shift in mindset as we approach the new year:

“Let’s leave the misconception that single people are miserable, lonely, or sad behind in 2024. Many people are in bad situations and secretly wish they were alone, so let people be.”

Make nobody whine you. Relationship sweet die! Having a understanding and loving partner to navigate life with is underated.

This old cargo with many miles called Toke is frustrated and only trying to console herself.

Most single ladies are sad and but not necessarily lonely, if they are jumping from one arm to the other.

Not all married men are happy despite not being lonely.

In order to balance the cycle of loneliness and sadness, many single ladies find joy in the sadness of married men who makes sad single ladies happy.🤪

Omo, I'm single but not lonely and sad...... She's right.....

I take me out and sometimes I drive around and visit places I don't know and take pictures.....

Sometimes I stay indoors and work on projects that take my time and I sometimes forget the time and date.....


So?🤷

"Loneliness". That was the Sunday School topic at my church yesterday.

You can be married and still be lonely.

Loneliness is the feeling of being disconnected from others, even when surrounded by people.

That you are single or unmarried doesn't translate to being lonely, so long as you connect with people; you are extroverted.

Being single truly doesn't make you sad or lonely, while some people are in a relationship or even married yet they are lonely and sad. The bottomline is that find peace in your status.

I believe it for men. But you see women, they're sad and frustrated.

Re: Not All Singles Are Lonely And Sad - Toke Makinwa by Fiscus105(m):
Anybody of marriageable age, who is not married and no children, who claims he/she not lonely and happy about his/her situation, is not different from mad man wandering on the road.

It's true.

Some are still taking the D from admirers and baddoes until they shine no more.

Every 'self-employed' or self-centred single is lonely and sad. Tell that to her, please.

Young girls don't take this pretentious hanty serious o, take advantage of your young age and get yourself a future partner.

Who ask you?
Aunty no body wants your arsee, stop trying to be a motivational or model to single or married people.

You failed in marriage and you are sure not living a enviable life as a single women, there is nothing about you worth emulating.

Take your arse and sit it somewhere and stop coming up our faces like you are some Saint or inspiration people should embrace.



Meanwhile note

it is only a Nigerian girl you will see preparing for marriage and she only has #5k or less in her account.
With a mind blowing milage!!

It is only a Nigerian girl that knows what she deserves, but has 0 account balance, no job and her parents can't even afford to give her what she thinks she deserves.

It is only a Nigerian girl that believe what she deserves should be funded by a man's pocket.

Very delusional lot.
