Pursue long lost interests. Take up a hobby. Join a gym. Doing exercise is amazing place to start and you will start to realise that you don't have to be in a relationship all the time to be happy.
Love the person you see everyday in the mirror. There is no sadness in being single. Do things you would love to do
You must be happy with where you are at, with your current situation, in order for change to occur.
You're single.. enjoy life, go out, have fun, hang out with your friends.. theres so much to do.. you dont have to be in a relationship to be happy
I think you have to be happy on your own before stepping into any relationships. So, being happy single is a must. And I think it has a lot to do with your purpose in life. Once you find what it is and live your life according to it, I'm sure you will find this feeling of satisfaction and wholeness and you will feel happy.
There are many greta things about being single. For example, you have more time to spend with the people you love and to do the things you love. You also have more time to build yourself to be a better person, which can sometimes be ignored when your in a relationship.
That isn't an easy task and it take some time to find out how being single can benefit you. You can take it as a curve of being with yourself and taking care of your self and people you love, cultivate things hobbies and dreams and when you will find someone you can focus on relationship.
Self love is the best thing in world. Love fades, life dies, relation ends but self don't leave you alone anyday!

Well, you can talk to as many people as you want without someone holding you back, you can openly stare at hot people and you don’t have to be tied down by a relationship x

You need to love yourself they way you are, and not let it bring you down. Just think that "If I was in a relationship right now, I would be doing something else, something I didn't want to do. But I'm single, so I can do whatever I want!"

You can live our life, every moment to the fullest and completely by your choice. You also learn to love yourself and you create a bond with yourself, inside and out.
Being single is a great opportunity to get to know yourself and grow as a person! It also allows you the freedom of doing whatever you want and not having to worry about how another person feels about it. It can be very freeing.
Embrace the love you have for yourself. You can’t pour from any empty cup. You have to love yourself in all that are you alone to be able to love someone else as a couple
There are plenty of things to be happy about when you're single (: There is no reason to be dependent on someone else when you, yourself are an amazing person. The right individual will come eventually. Some of the things you can do are 1. Go pamper yourself. You have your whole life ahead of you! 2. Meet tons of people. When you are in a relationship you can't flirt with that cute guy at the coffee shop you saw the other day! Get out there!
How can you feel happy about being single? You can feel happy by focusing on yourself because this time in your life you get to understand your likes and dislikes and figure out what you want in life.

At first it may seem impossible to juggle being single, but in a way it’s good for you. Spend some time bettering yourself and feeling confident and good again
You should enjoy being single! Because you get more time to work on yourself and you’ll also know that your true love is out there waiting!
Take some time to find yourself. Take that time to pamper yourself and engage in activities you enjoy.
I've struggled with this in my life as well. It's led me to 2 divorces & a trail of broken hearts. The key for me was to be comfortable with myself. As soon as I discovered a me I liked it became much easier to not seek external validation.
Realize that this is a time for you and you only. You now have all the freedom in the world to accomplish so many things. You are free from the worry about what others may think. You can spend your time only for you without having to compromise or sacrifice. You can get out of your comfort zone and experience life the way you want to. You may even meet like-minded people along the way and forge new and exciting friendships, or more.
Being single can give you the chance to go see things you haven't seen, go places you haven't been, try things you haven't tried.
Its all about perspective. Being single can sometimes feel lonely, however it is a great opportunity to perceive 'singleness' as a time to develop and invest in yourself. Do things that make you feel happy, without anyone else. For me, when single, I find happiness thru yoga, meditation and investing in my friendships. The more you continue on a journey of self-development in which you find contentment in and of yourself, the more prepared you will be in the future to invite someone else into your life.
Love will come around when you least expect it, and even if it doesn't, that's ok too! Society makes being single a bad deal but remember that your worth as a person doesn't depends on wether or not you are in a relationship and that it is ok to not have a partner

Well, most of all the things that have a part in this equation, you ahve to love hanging out with just you. the first step is to be happy with yourself and to realise that you are complete and you do not need anyone to make you whole. You don't need to find 'the one', you are 'the one'. Learn how to have fun with yourself, laugh at yourself, explore yourself, think about yourself, before you even think about adding another person to your life. do all the thing with yourself you would normaly do with an SO. Who knows, you might just be te person you needed all along. After all, first and foremost, you are the person you will have to spent your life with.
Being single has given me a kind of emotional freedom I never knew I needed. It also gives me a lot of time for myself, my family and my friends. It's good to know that you're not being lied to, cheated on or played with anymore. You don't have to constantly check your phone or wait for texts from your partner. You don't have to cancel your other plans just to meet your partner. Overall there's a lot of emotional drama saved by being single. Most importantly though, being single teaches me how to value myself and know my worth and I am learning to be happy and content with myself a little more, everyday.
Realise that you’re free, you can make your own choices and you have a variety of people out there for you.
‘There’s plenty of fish in the sea’ and being single is basically deep sea diving. Don’t feel bad about it, embrace it because you’re lucky.
If you feel bad about being single, don’t, because trust me, it’s fine. You’re not the only one, and that means there’s other singles out there waiting to meet you and maybe get rid of that title.
Single as a Pringle and ready to mingle 😉
😂Anyway, like I said, it’s not a bad thing

Single means you're not attached to somebody which is a good thing. And when you are single there's no fears of being cheated. No need to be awake texting. No confusions about friendships. No fights. No attachments. No need to spend money on gifts and stuff. You have time for yourself. But the best part in my point of view is freedom. Being single means you can do whatever you want at whenever you like without anyone's permission. You're in charge of yourself. You can be happy and independent. I think being single is the happiest, most freeing feeling in the world.

you are free and able to experience relationships with different people to understand what you want once you settle down in to a long term relationship with someone you enjoy spending time with and love to be around. remember to understand that you are were you are supposed to be right now in life and you will eventually be happier and have everything you want in life. being single means being free and understanding that you are free means enjoying your life. once you are single, and over a heartbreak, it is the most amazing feeling ever. being single is great
