Why being single is better for you?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Where did you want me to start at? I'll make a short list:

Less drama and nonsense
Dating... is a headache. I'm not sure what's worse: trying to find someone that wants to be with me, or being constantly rejected, friendzoned, or ghosted. And if by some magical chance, a guy does give me a chance, I'm worried that-
He will cheat, lie, or lose interest in me.

As bad as it sounds, my self esteem and stress levels are much better when I'm single than in a relationship. Why? Because I'm focused on myself, not what someone else thinks of me.

For me personally?

Just because of my job and location.

The people i get involved with have the same job as me and we usually only share 1 year or a couple months together before one of us moves to the next location. I don't do long distance relationships and there's no way in hell I'd get married just to stay with them, lol.

I constantly have new people coming into my life. You get to be selfish in your life decisions and don't have to worry about what your partner thinks about 🤗

It’s better for me because my last relationship was abusive and hateful, and made my mental health plummet, being on my own I have learned a lot about life, people, me and her, I have learnt that I in fact don’t need nor want anyone anymore as I can’t trust anyone after what I went through with her, being alone is also good because you don’t get moaned at, told what to do, hit, or yelled at and I can do whatever I want when I want and not have a care in the world.

This is simple, you live life to your expectations.
The problem with that is you don’t know what’s unhealthy about your lifestyle. Nobody is telling you to stop going to bed at 4am or stop eating unhealthy foods also nobody will love you enough to take full care of you while you are sick (besides parents).
The single life is pretty damn amazing. Though like all things there are many things that can go wrong.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I have more spare time because I’m single and that allows me to study the bible and work on my personality issues

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

You plan your life for you and you alone. You don't have to keep your partner in mind. Less arguments. More alone time. No parents to meet. I don't like dating, dating to find a boyfriend, I mean. If you actively look for one, you start to see dating as a task. So I have not been actively dating. But I talked to a guy Tuesday and he was really nice so I'll go with the flow so dating becomes fun. But if I could skip the whole dating part, I would. But we have to to know if you are right for eachother...

MCheetah · Answer

"Why is being single better for you [than being in a relationship]?" I have no idea. TBH, I came on here looking for some answers. I guess, no alimony or child support? There's that! I think for some people, it's better and for some people, it's not. I am in the latter group. But my short-ass literally can't do anything about that, so I just have to accept things and live the single life. "Life moves on," as @chitown33 on here put it.

kerrylouise · Answer

I honestly can't be arsed waiting for a guy to decide what he wants.
I also don't have time to kind read, play games or drag things out.
My time is precious and sometimes realising that and being alone, is better then wasting time on men that are wishy washy and lead me on.
It's peace of mind

CubsterShura · Answer

I am strongly invested in improving my mental health and bringing a boyfriend into my life will more likely do more harm than good. I have been happier since I've been single for a long time.

I also noticed when I am very focused on a boyfriend I am making fewer friends. I don't want that. I have made great friends and want to focus on building more friendships, and connections and building a network.

My life just doesn't have any place for a boyfriend.

MichaelEspinoza · Answer

Well here's my opinion on this subject , I don't speak on behalf of all men just me so anyway - I believe it's better in this day & age to be single. Cause I don't know if The woman I'll marry would be a good match or if I marry her she could turn out to be unfaithful to me Thus breaking heart. So really if you want to be single in this world then that's your choice an you should proud of the choice you made & not made to feel guilty about being single.

Literalbillionaire17 · Answer

Personally for me I’ve been working and focusing on myself and it’s paying off. Even though it’s hard I am getting better. Mentally I’m getting better, physically im getting better.

It’s hard bc I’m someone who loves love and that’s what I long for but the goal is to also be in love with myself and being single has helped

Anonymous · Answer

People are too dependent and jealous… they want what they want, when they want it, and until a person can kind of just develop themselves to appreciate little things, and not hold what they want against people, and compromise and enjoy time with others for what it is, relationships are gonna be a bad time.

I just do me, and one day that’ll be good enough for somebody.

SpokenTruth · Answer

I didn't have the opportunity when I was young during the years that really counted to be married and have children which has now made the idea of marriage absolutely useless to me even dating. I spent most of my life alone I may as well finish it alone too.

menina · Answer

At this moment is the best option for me. I'm not in the right place for dating and I'm not interested in dating men from where I live. If I was dating now, I would be dating a foreign guy.

Hermitess · Answer

It isn’t necessarily better for you to be single. For some people they prefer to be single. But other people feel better when they have someone special in their life.

I'm sleeping and eating better while I'm single. If I find someone that sleeps around my time and eats around my time I'll cancel my single mode.

PainusNdeeAnus · Answer

It’s better for men not so much women because they don’t experience the same levels of loneliness as men and if they do they handle it much worse a man being single is just an opportunity for growth a single woman is a waste
