Is this statement true: if you're not happy being single, you won't be happy in a relationship? (Page 2)

[BCRanger10]

Yes. You can't find all your worth and happiness in another person. Otherwise, you're just going to bring baggage onto a relationship and make both people unhappy.

[Apulu_Imback]

Yes because something is wrong with the person itself. It takes self development to make yourself a happier person.

[anon1903]

Yes. Some people get into a relationship for the sake of getting into one. They don't even like their partners that much, they just want to avoid being single.

[litty]

It's true. Making your partner responsible for your happiness is a recipe for disaster. When two people can be happy on their own, then there is a lot of joy to share between them.

[TheMajesticKing777]

I don't think so, most humans are just not made to be alone

[Espresso-Grande]

It depends on the reason why you're unhappy when you're single.

[Freyke]

There is truth to that. If you do not know what makes you happy then how do you look for a partner if you don't even know what you're looking for?

[TheSpaceGnome]

Nope. That myth was based off the equally false idea that happiness comes from within, rather than from your environment and experiences.

I would tweek the wording on that and say, "if you're not enough alone (single) you never be enough with someone". Another person can help you, maybe even encourage you. But another person can't FIX you. Only you can do that.

[Anonymous]

I would say it's just the opposite. On my days off I can easily go 60 hours without hearing a human voice. The sound of silence is music to my ears.

[FunkyMonkee]

If YOU had my life, YOU wouldn't be happy being single, either!!

[Anonymous]

Depends why you're unhappy. If generally unhappy person, yes, a relationship probably won't change that. Or it'll be temporary.

[Chthou95]

Not true. If that's the case, why would people need to be in relationships or intimacy if they're happy being single? You crave for relationships because deep down you're not happy being alone

[crmoore]

Not true. It's a major oversimplification of a complex topic.

[driven159]

you have to be happy with yourself no matter single or in a relationship

[Slim57]

That's false. I'm hardly every happy single but everytime I'm in a relationship I'm rarely ever unhappy like now

[BLP11520]

I don't know, before I was married I enjoyed not being committed.

[serious]

I think that is true. Yes.

[jshm2]

No. That reads like daft femcel/incel shit.

[Luopio27]

No, I won't sign that.
