As much as it may be hard remember that it's ok to love yourself and discover who you are. it seems difficult at the moment but it will come with time.

Remember this: you don't have to tell anyone what you're doing constantly. You can be your own person and make your own decisions without relying on the input of someone else. If you want to go out with friends, you don't need anyone's approval. I know it's difficult to not have someone else there, but the right person will find you when it's the right time. Enjoy this time on your own while it lasts!

Look for the positives in being single and avoid thinking or lingering on thoughts of the bad negative things associated with being single. Try to enjoy your time doing things you love, learn more about something you're interested in, take on a new hobby or even make new friends. Find things to bring you happiness each day.

Being single can be a great time, this is because you can do what you want without have anyone to say you can’t, if you are happy being single your likely to show this on the outside and people are more likely to be happy around you

Being single means taking time for yourself. You don’t have to worry about pleasing another person. You can worry mainly on yourself and be with friends without any drama. Being single is amazing.

First, you need to love yourself. Take some time to be alone and find out what you like to do. When you find out what makes you happy, you will start loving yourself and it will not be a problem for you to be single anymore.

being single does suck at times. having people around who are in a happy relationship or friends getting married. Believe me I've been through this. It's just the feeling of being single that hurts. But try being surrounded by your love ones, be it family or friends. or do something you love to do. If you are meant to be with someone, that you are. you will get that person at the right time. till than be happy and do what you love. Don't let the feeling of being single hurt you.

Take it as a way of exploring who you are and knowing that if you're you then the right person will come in automatically.

Don't think of it as being alone, think of it as you time. While you are single, focus on improving your mental and physical health, and improving your hobbies. If you take the time to better yourself while you are not in a relationship, then (in my experience) you will most likely attract a better partner in the future.
