What's your secret to maintaining a fulfilling social life while being single?

[winter]

Well, I've always been in relationships all my life so I really don't know how to deal with being single. This has started to affect my social life negatively. Now I avoid seeing my friends who are in relationships. Do you think being single is not for me or is it just a matter of habit?

Unless it's 1am, doing what the girl in the picture is doing is the worst thing you can do.
I'm convinced that humans don't crave human interaction and relationships. We crave anything that distracts us from being inside our own heads
That could be relationships, friends, hobbies, drugs... whatever.

So the best way to avoid the feeling loneliness (which is really just the feeling of of being trapped inside yourself), is to find something you're passionate about and chase it with everything you have.

Very few brilliant innovators had friends, and even fewer gave a shit

It is very freeing. You can travel and hook up with people, there are all kinds of possibilities.

Or you can sit at home as I have been doing lately...

Engage in events that feed your soul. This is festival season. Get out and about. Join meetups. There are people who have similar interests as you: softball, volleyball, gardening, biking... sailing, and a host of others. What are your hobbies? Though hobbies are often single interests, there are hobbyist groups. Volunteer with groups that do community work. Great way to improve your neighborhood, city or the world.

There's so much juice you can squeeze out of life, single or not!

I find there are two types of friendships with married people - double relationship matches where a husband and wife befriend another husband and wife social unit. There is also same gender friendships where a wife befriends other wives without husbands around or a husband befriends other men without their wives around. My friends are same gender females and not mixed husband and wife gender teams.

i just post things in thinking. showing people what i’m watching, or making bc all my friends know i’m a terrible cook, or post random funny pictures of my pets.


i follow people who comment something funny, i make conversations in comment sections.. someone’s bound to share the same interest as me and that forms friendships.

What’s the correlation smh well i say just hangout with your friends a lot, or invite them to your place for lunch or dinner.. As a start?
Catching up with an old friends, or very social friends would help as well.. They could introduce you to new people

Live bands, parties, there is always something to do.

I think you're just being dumb. You don't need to be in a relationship in order to hang out with your friends. Just go hang out with them.

Been single for many years... I try to engage myself in working, earning, reading, going outside and walking etc. I try to divert my mind.

[itsalyssaagain]

Make other single friends. Just make sure they’re not desperate because that’s going to be toxic lol

[fonduegirl]

You can go out and talk to different people, for starters

[Crankor]

Find yourself hobbies. Ultimately it's learning and progression that does it. You learn about yourself more in the process.

[LiamJHayden]

I am one of those people who will go out alone and just randomly meet people. Pretty much fearless in that area.

[KrakenAttackin]
