How can I feel happy about being single?

Being single is an often overlooked relationship status that has many, many benefits attached to it. In a single relationship, we often feel we are alone, or we lack a companion. This couldn't be further from the truth; as in all things, the greatest companion we shall ever have is ourselves. Being single provides a time to reflect upon oneself, to see what they can do to better their relationship with themselves. It is a time where we are free to explore what makes us truly happy, and find our passions in life. In fact, the more time we spend building our inner relationship with ourselves, the happier we can make our future companions. A wise individual once stated, 'You cannot truly love another until you love yourself.' And being single is the the path to finding that self-confidence, and love. And once you are ready to transition into a relationship, you'll find yourself much more confident and happy, and your future partner will notice it as well.

You can feel happy about being single as you have no responsibility to another human being. You have freedom.

I think everyone is different, if you are not happy being single, but you want to be, or you are afraid to get close to anyone, then you have a bit of a problem, definetly. Some people do well independently, some people do not, but from my own personal experience, when I was single, I was often lonely myself. But I think being single can be good, too. It means lots of freedom, but at a cost. Same with being in a relationship. It means companionship, but you may not have the freedom to do everything you wish you could. To sum up, don't make yourself like something you don't. If you are naturally independent, and relationships are almost chores, don't be pressured into finding someone just because your friends say you should, as well as if you are single, and your friends say how wonderful it is, but you disagree. Do what you need to do to be happy, regardless of the pressure you feel from others.

Being single means you'd have time to find yourself.. and once you'd find yourself..you would love yourself more.. and it makes easy to love other person as well.. so stop worrying.. start being happy with yourself.. and definitely it would bring a change in your life.

being single can be the best time of your life when your time is completely yours and you can use it to the best utilization for yourself....! learn to love and nourish yourself at first is very important before loving anyone else....you can only love someone if you learn to love yourself first...!

There are many things to be happy about. I understand the feeling and why you think that way. But believe me, it's amazing all the things you can do for yourself and alone. You can actually be around your friends and have amazing days with them. You can go out randomly whenever you want to and wherever you feel like going. Spend more times doing things you love and you're passionate about, discovering more stuffs about yourself. I bet you will find someone in the right time, let it happen.. don't force it!

To feel happy about being single, you must realize that no one person should be the only reason you are happy. happiness comes from you. you must be happy and okay with being alone sometimes.

Enjoy life, Enjoy yourself. Always think that there's a whole life ahead of you. Don't get jealous of other people who are in a relationship. You're also in one. You're in a relationship with yourself.

Being single is not a disease or calamity that it should leach away your happiness. There is a reason why a person remains single. Maybe it heartbreak, or the absence of someone you an connect with on a deeper level, or it could just be a desire to have your own space. So ask yourself, would it be better to not be single but fight everyday? Or be with someone you do not love? Or be with a person who you commit your entire self to? If you find that you can tolerate any of the above options, then give yourself free reign over feeling unhappy about being single. If not, make your own company a means of deriving satisfaction. And you will find yourself enjoying life on your own. :)

While there are benefits to being in a relationship that can be missed when you are single, there are definitely benefits to being single as well. When you are single, you have more time! Take this time to do anything you want! Learn a new hobby, language, or skill. Get healthier. Read books. Anything! When you are single you can focus on making your own life better, more exciting, or anything else you want it to be. If you spend the extra time while single lingering on the fact that you are single, it will be hard to be happy. Use the time instead :).
