Do you agree that being SINGLE is awesome?

Question

Alyssa11 · Accepted Answer

Yes and no.

I've never been in a really long relationship so I'm not really accustomed to being with someone all the time. I have been single for over a year now and although in the past that's normal for me, it can feel odd when you were really in love with your ex and the break-up was unforeseeable.

LONELINESS
I am going to start by saying that being lonely as a single person feels MUCH BETTER than being lonely while you're in a relationship. When you're single, you anticipate that you would be spending your Friday night alone in bed watching Netflix and you learn to enjoy your own company. But doing that while you're in a relationship hurts because you expect them to be there. Feeling let down is not a good feeling and I've been there many times. It really, really hurts.

FREEDOM
Being single also means you don't owe anybody anything. You can sleep with different people (if that's your thing), flirt with different people and even move to the other side of the world because you have no strings attached to your life. That kind of freedom is really under-appreciated. For me, I have taken the past six months to work on being self-employed and I don't need to worry about paying bills or how this would affect anybody else cause I only have to worry about me. It's one of the biggest blessings of my break-up because I can't help but wonder how I would be surviving financially right now if I was living with my ex. Would he pay for everything and support me while I embark on this career change? Who knows?

But sometimes it does get really lonely and women get horny too. There's times where I wish I had someone to come home to or cry to or even just go to a Christmas market with but I don't. And it's okay.

I learned to take myself shopping and go to cafes and restaurants alone. I still hang out with friends and family but for the most part I've learned to enjoy my own company.

I am not going to get into another relationship unless I know he deserves to share my life. I know what I bring to the table and I expect it back. I don't want to be betrayed ever again and I want to feel SECURE.

I feel like this question was made for me-

Being single is VERY awesome!!!

Now obviously my opinion might be biased- that happens when you're content with your life, self esteem, and don't need to rely on a relationship to validate your happiness and worth.

With that being said, this concept doesn't apply to everyone. Some people are happier in relationships than single-

Good for you; I commend you. But if you're happy single, you can be happy with or without a relationship... just saying

Do all people love sushi?
Do all people love hamburgers?
Do all people put ketchup on their fries?
Are all people normal?
Are all people crazy?
There is all kind of people, same thing here! Those who love to be single and those who love to be in a relationship. There is no selling nor buying. I am married, i love to do some things with the Mrs, and there is things i love to do by my self, same thing goes for her. If people don't accept my choice? Like seriously, not the slightest tiny fuck is given, it's my choice, not theirs. Simple.

It really depends where you are in your life. Mentally and emotionally. You may be in a place where your self-esteem is very healthy and you have no desperate need to be in a relationship. Or you're someone who enjoys being alone more than having the company of a lover.

Enjoying singleness also comes at different times in your life. This year you might be all for it, and next year it can all change. So is being single awesome? I think it is when you're someone who is actually happy with it and appreciates the time to yourself.

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

I like it! I've always been a bit of a loner, so I've enjoyed being single the past several years. I LOVE living alone, and am not big on physical intimacy, so it seems like the best option for me.

AnggieGirl · Answer

Trying to get to know a guy is draining and exhausting. Feels like another task in my day, with a five minute snooze on it I can’t disable. Being single allows me to not have that stress on my shoulders and I can go for trips and not have someone annoying me the enitire time

Star_88 · Answer

Yeah better. No more dealing with lies and tricks. No mind games and BS.
No worries about being cheated on or contemplating when your partner will get bored of the relationship because most people nowadays don't value loyalty and stability.
A smell of sizzling affair can make them throw away whatever they built for years.

little_bird1 · Answer

I think whoever thinks that has some underlying issues and traumas from past relationships and is convinced that the blame is on being in a relationship, not the people they were dating. So they find happiness in being single, but in fact it's not the singleness that is awesome, it's that for them it's better to be single then to be in bad relationship. They are just tired of searching and too lazy to put any more effort into actually finding the right person, because the fear of ending up with wrong person. They are emotionally unavailable people who convince themselves and others that that's the way they want it to be, but in reality they want to love and be loved just as much as anybody else. They just have personal issues.

I am single and my life is awesome, but not because I'm single but because I created an awesome life. It would be even more awesome if I was in a good relationship, though.

all_hayl · Answer

Sigh.
Being single and married are great in their own way. Rhetorical question: why are you concerned with people agreeing with you? Usually that’s just a sign of insecurity. JS.
Does everyone agree that Italian food is better than Mexican.

Heartache0405 · Answer

Absolutely. Why would I want to be in a relationship with someone if I don't plan on ever getting married and marriage is the goal?

When you're single you don't have to answer to anyone! You can do whatever you want and don't have to have someone else's input 24/7 telling you what you can and can't do.

I've been told my multiple married men to never get married and I already don't plan to. So why bother with this pathetic dating game?

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

No, a lot of the things I want to do, I can't do either often or at all while single.
Single means most of the video games I enjoy playing, I can't play very often.
Single means no sex/kissing/etc.
Single means I can't have company while being creative, nor collaberrate ideas with someone.
When I'm single I spend 99.99% of my time alone, because the only social activities I like are difficult video games that very few people enjoy playing, and most who do tire of them quickly.
Single means double the work load for creative home businesses.
Single means no best friend.

SphynxUK · Answer

I’m recently single. It’s fine. I prefer it. I think it’s awesome because I simply like being on my own; not because I like to go out and flirt or date lots of people and enjoy ‘singleness’ like a neurotypical.

Browneye57 · Answer

It's fine. Some don't have a choice.
But love marriage and family isn't about what you GET, it's being in a place in your life where you're ready to GIVE. Some just never get there, which is okay, and they can be happy to be single. Others want a mate, to create a family. For many, THAT is what life is about.

grega239 · Answer

No. Its shit. You wake up alone, you eat alone, you go to bed alone.
When you come home from work, there's no one there to greet you. No one hugs you, you never get to hear that you're important to someone, there's no one there for you to share moments with and no one comforts you when you feel sad.

Its a cold, miserable life.

GhostMochi · Answer

When I was single, I felt miserable at first, but realized how amazing it felt to be out of a shitty, toxic relationship. I enjoyed those two years wonderfully. Now I'm with a guy who finally treats me great and makes me happy.

lightbulb27 · Answer

it's awsome until you realize you just had p&j for dinner 2nd night in a row because you are bored and you have no real purpose. it is what you make it, but I don't know that the void can be filled properly without a real supportive and loving partner. it's just nature.

there are benefits and challenges to both. make it best you can while on your path of life.

Youryeodongsaeng · Answer

I'll have to decide that AFTER I get the affection I need. I need lots of intimacy. There's no doubt that I'll start breaking down tears if I ever found the one and they hold or hug me.

There are disadvantages and advantages of being single and there are disadvantages and advantages of being in a commited relationship.

Turrorrr · Answer

its good being single once in a while. but not for too long. it gets boring an depressed. especially as you age.
it is really 20 times better to be in a healthy relationship on long term.
being in a toxic one is worse than being single, definitely

Fireguy17 · Answer

Yes, it really can be.
I was single for a long time before I got married again, and I had a lot of fun, you can pretty much do what you want when you want.
I have a great friend base, so I was never alone or lonely unless I chose to be.
I'm pretty self sufficient so I didn't need someone else around.
I have also been in many relationships, and with the right person those can be great as well.
Kind of depends on your priorities at the time.

angeltiny0 · Answer

Young man you are so young or young woman! You are so young that being single means I just left my parents.

Paul09 · Answer

As much as it is fun. After a long time, years. It get depressing and boring. Not much to-do as a single person. I want to be out doing activités with People. At hone alone I get stuck in my own head. Too much going on up there. I need a distraction, need some one to talk to.

Adam1978 · Answer

Sometimes but most of all its easy and peaceful. Some moments in a relationship can also be awesome. So it's not really a pro for being single. Easy and peaceful relationships is hard to find if not impossible.

MCheetah · Answer

Single BY CHOICE, yes, I suppose.
Single and being able to have sex if you wanted to, or choose to no longer be single at any time (like all women, and 5% of the Chad men out there), then yes, I suppose.

Me? Eh... 🤔

dragoblack · Answer

Its awesome.. till the point where loneliness sets in, and after a time depression sets in and noone wants to date you because your mind is a total downer

blondefun1 · Answer

Yes because you learn yourself. Get to do what you want. Learn other peoples characteristics and what you want and don’t what. Being in a relationship is amazing but you need to be in one when you are ready and you know it’s going to be healthy.

90sVibe · Answer

Love, love LOVE IT! Though I do understand and respect that it's not for everyone. Either way finding peace and contentment should be the goal regardless of what your relationship status is.

Marianna145 · Answer

I like it but sometimes i just want to experience those relationship feelings... but for now i didn't find the suitable partner for me...

Anonymous · Answer

I enjoy being single, I like having a lot of me time, not stressing/worrying about toxic partners and such.

It be really cool to date a girl who enjoys being single too, but I am not sure how to find one xD

We could date like once a week, live separately and just text whenever we feel like it :)

Wester1967 · Answer

Dude. I am dating women hotter than Will Smith, Jeff Bezos, Steve Harvey or Dwayne Wade. All those MFs have like 1000x my money and they are still getting played like fiddles. They're playing themselves. It's sad really.

JHNS98 · Answer

No, I don't like being single anymore. I'm not sure if I'm ready for a relationship at the moment, as I look for a therapist/psychologist to iron out some baggage and try to figure out some psychological details.

rosesanddaisies · Answer

It can be fun sometimes when you can be left alone or if you don't like being around people in general. It can be heartbreaking though, sometimes you get lonely and it really really suck.

being single SUCKS lol. The only thing could about it is you have no worries. The trade off is you have no worries because you have no one! I need a cuddle bug personally.

I've been in terrible relationships, great relationships, and been single. Being single is better than being in a bad relationship, but being in a good relationship is way better than being single.

libsaretards · Answer

Being single is great if you want to work on yourself and if you have things you want to accomplish, but at some point it gets old and you eventually want to start a family.

Oigit · Answer

the benefits outweigh the downsides for me. It isn't going to be the same for everyone. So people should do what works for them.

exitseven · Answer

I liked being single sometimes. Actually very rarely was it very much fun. Mostly it was full of heartbreak, insecurity, loneliness and anxiety.  I like being married better.

I agree it is awesome but later on in my life when I’m ready for a relationship, I know I’ll find being in a relationship to be even awesomer

It is absolutely horrible to be single unless you are strong enough on your own, but a certain age does require a relationship according to the clan structure that I am a part of as a matter of upholding Chugi aka Duty and Loyalty.

Both being single and being in a relationship have their pros and cons. It seems to be that the more that I’m single, the more I want to keep it that way.
