Happy Singles Day fellow singles!!!

Yes, I love being single and alone (not to be confused with lonely; there is a difference). I can do what I want, when I want. My self esteem is WAY better than it used to be because I don't equate my looks and attractiveness to a relationship status. And I'm not trapped in an unhappy relationship or marriage like most people I know because they settled out of fear of being alone. Afraid of being cheated on or my partner getting bored of me? Nope. I just have to worry about what I'm having for dinner tonight- probably treating myself to a nice steak just because I deserve it.

Yes, there are downsides to be single. But if you're secure in yourself and find ways to keep busy and active- such as find hobbies you enjoy, exercise, get a pet, etc... it's not the end of the world!

Cheers to my fellow singles- you're awesome~

Today is 11.11 Singles' Day!!! So, do you celebrate being alone or does it make you sad?

I associate November 11 with Veteran's Day only. I focus on honoring and remembering everyone who has served and continues to serve.

I never knew "singles' day" was a thing. If you aren't in a relationship, every freaking DAY is "single day" lmao I don't see any reason to "celebrate" something so ridiculous. You should be honoring yourself, loving yourself and practicing self-care EVERY DAY - regardless of whether you're single, taken, etc. I certainly didn't go out and have a party to honor myself. I don't have that big of an ego lol I worked a lovely overtime day at work once again and then I went into putting a plan in motion for a dear friend of mine who recently experienced a very serious accident. So yeah. That was MY "singles day" lol

When I start scrambling for ideas for how to come up with an improved status of living, especially in a disposition where no one trusts the election process anymore and the economy is run by psychopaths, any decision I make while single has only one advantage: not having a significant other to whom I have to defend any decision I make, if I find one that appears to be worth making.

It is heartbreaking though, that every place I can actually afford to live on my own, is now a crime-ridden hellhole.

Depending on where you live, 11.11 is Veterans Day, Remembrance Day, or some other name, with the goal to remember those who fought for freedom and, in some cases, gave their lives for it.

To call this day "Singles Day" is disrespectful and an affront to all those we should be remembering.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

Just being single doesn’t mean you’re “alone”…I have lots of people in my life.

Just because I’m not in a romantic relationship don’t mean I’m alone. Just means not currently having sex…

Guy13 · Answer

Only liars or psychological damage celebrate this day joyously

Avicenna · Answer

There are advantages and disadvantages to being single

BlueScorpio · Answer

Er that's a thing? I didn't hear anything about it.

Datboi65 · Answer

I kinda don't understand the point of having a "day" for every usless occasion. Singles day? Lmao.

Anywho, I think anyone who says "I'm happy being single" is delusional. Humans crave companionship. While of course, the freedom that comes with being single is great, long-term most people want somebody to grow old with and children of their own. Saying that you want to be single for life basically means living in a retirement home with your cat/dog and nobody to check up on you that is a relative.

What about myself? I'm working on building my portfolio, so any relationship at this point is a distraction. I will start looking as soon as I'm done.

BigschlongEnergy · Answer

Everybody’s is alone in this world 🌎 you can Date Etc but Ultimately nobody shares your body your mind or your Views So No matter how much you Think your Not alone I can guarantee you that somebody in your life is not being Honest with you.

Sleeping around is Great And if someone ask you for Sex you should Take up the opportunity Ya only Live ounce 😊

If a Girl wants to Get in my bed naked all she has to is ask And I’ll let her in and She can Take her Clothes off Or I can do it for her.

EvoEyeris · Answer

People may feel lonely and sad because they don’t have girlfriend or boyfriend. That’s understandable, humans are naturally social creatures. But to the people who have never been in a relationship. The comparison from being single to being in a relationship is crazy. When you’re single you have so much freedom, you dont have to worry about anyone else, you can talk to whoever you want, and there’s less stress. Being in a relationship with the right person is amazing but taking a little break from dating is also great.

Weapon77 · Answer

Didn't know this day was a thing until right this moment lmao So no, I haven't celebrated it. But while I don't mind being single, I've been wanting a girlfriend for 7 years. It would be nice to find someone. But who knows why I'm still single. It's not something to celebrate, but it's not utterly devastating either. It just is what it is.

Cuttie_Country_Girl · Answer

Well, I have a boyfriend RN, but if I were single, I would neither celebrate NOR be sad. I don’t believe that being single is an accomplishment to be celebrated, but I am also perfectly content to NOT be in a relationship! I don’t define my self worth or my happiness based on whether or not a guy is in a committed relationship with me. My happiness and self worth comes from self, not whether I have a boyfriend or not.

Sour-rose · Answer

Welp, being single as I is truly a celebration. I think I will celebrate with a cookie cake slice. No babies, no n*ggas ringing my phone for some good stuff, no dropping my panties as a clue I want some. None of that shi, thank god. Being single such as I have been a choice and so far, a good choice for a good long time. <3

Ill_made_Knight · Answer

Single is a good thing. There is privacy and consistancy. I'm quite unlikely to get angry with myself for looking a little too long at an attractive lady... Certainly there are good things about being in relationships as well. They are also a lot of work. I'll probably have to VERY smitten with someone at this point to give up big pieces of my privacy and peace.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

I didn't know that was a thing! 11/11... I'll remember that! I don't celebrate it and I don't feel sad. But I never thought being single was a bad thing. I'm enjoying the single life. You don't have to compromise with someone else's life.

Yes intimacy is something I miss, but the rest is pretty okay!

mjsbiggestfan1997 · Answer

I didn’t even know there was a single’s day 😂
Not sure to feel sad or not about being single. On one hand, I know with absolute certainty there’s no way in hell that I’ll get cheated on and/or eventually replaced by someone better than me (again….) as long as I stay single and don’t give anyone a chance, but on the other hand, I wish I had someone that loved me, I wish I had someone to cuddle with, and all that other lovey dovey shit that comes with relationships

WeirdoFriendly · Answer

I'd love to have a girl. Being alone is boring. Making conversation with myself is annoying bc I already know what I'ma say or do. I don't want to celebrate how lonely I am. I want to celebrate with a beautiful young woman about anything other than being single and alone

Guanfei · Answer

There's nothing good to celebrate in being single. Those who celebrate are those who choose to be.

For people like me, who are single because no one wants us, it's a curse. Singles' Day and Valentines Day are 2 moment in the year when my own loneliness is thrown back at my face.

ConfusedGirl100 · Answer

11th of the 11th is Remembrance Day for us where we come together to remember those who sacrificed their lives for us during the wars. So I guess I don't celebrate this date at all.

MuddyMole · Answer

Sorry, that date's taken. It's Remembrance Day, commemorating the end of the First World War. Pick a different day for your shit made up holiday - there are plenty to choose from (I'd suggest maybe not December 24th or 25th either).

Avatar74 · Answer

I'm currently single, I wish I wasn't, so I wouldn't celebrate it.

I have had many opportunities to date but unfortunately they didn't amount to anything.

I don't rush into relationships that I know would not work for the sake of it.

DenizLikesTennis · Answer

I love to be single to the fullest ❤❤ you shall enjoy and it will be memorable, before you're dealing with more responsibility.

At the same time, I am not against it either

I'd love to have a partner and my own family, also

Ian69 · Answer

No, I love being single. Has it happens I’m taking myself out for lunch today, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m going to have a starter, a main course and if I got any room, I might even indulge in a dessert. ☺️

melanieeeB · Answer

Sure why not? I have more time for me, my family, my goals and wishes and less drama
One day I'll again share my life with the right healthy partner but until that I'm enjoying every moment, doing whatever the fuck I want

I thought National singles awareness day was in Feb, learned something new I guess. As today I am celebrating Veterans day by paying my respects. As I am not single.

BeeNee · Answer

Every day is singles day if you're single. I don't think there is ever anything wrong with celebrating if a person feels like it. Gotta have fun in life!

NZGirl07 · Answer

I've never been single for long, but I think being single can be great, and people should celebrate. However, I guess a lot of people don't enjoy being single, so wouldn't want to celebrate.

JDAC092299 · Answer

Tbh I didn’t know it existed, I guess I feel indifferent about it. I enjoy being single or being in a relationship so I can’t say it’s a plus or a minus, sorry for the boring answer but I guess that’s how I feel on the matter ^-^

whereismyjohnny · Answer

I don't celebrate it, but it doesn't make me sad either. I love being single. I'm focused on some other things and very happy with my life as it is at the moment.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Enjoy being single. Don't stay there too long.  It's Veterans day and homework day. I don't plan to do my homework too long either. I want my free time.

Anonymous · Answer

It depends on the reason your alone.

For me I hate it I hate the feeling of loneliness and I wish I did meet someone as well I don't have much going for me tbh. Family I don't get along with well and have very very few friends so it would be nice to have someone to talk to and spend time with and all of that. Someone to build a life with you know.

Bre_0611 · Answer

When you get to a point in your life where you begin to love and just cherish yourself, you don't care about those things.

It makes me a little sad. I’m always the girl that is a friend, and the friend with benefits but never the girlfriend. Most of the time it’s ok, but sometimes it bothers me.

SolitarySolace · Answer

I celebrate being alone every single day. Being single is better than being in a relationship. I’ve been cheated on constantly. Being single, I don’t have to worry about it.
