Learn more about yourself and take time to understand what makes you happy, this is especially important when you've just come out of a long relationship where you relied on the other person for all of your happiness

The best way in my opinion is to know and realize that you are where you are meant to be right now, and realize that your special someone, if your are ready to meet them, that they might not always be ready to meet you. Everything happens with a timeline, so trust that you’ll eventually meet that someone who will be perfect for you.

That isn't an easy thing to answer. In my experience being single, I try to think of the positives. I have been in a toxic relationship before and can honestly say the freedom of choice i have from being single is pretty empowering. I can see who I want without the added stress of someone toxic diminishing my mental state. Especially if you're single fresh out of a toxic relationship I would say focus on the positives since your departure from that person. If it's a relationship that ended bad on all ends, you can possibly take being single as an opportunity to really zero in on yourself and what makes you happy in the end.

You, yourself, are an interesting human being on your own! So don't think of being single as being alone or unwanted, think of it as a period to focus on you!

It's not bad to feel happy about being single. There is freedom in being single, no ties to anyone, no burdens or luggage of other people. No relying on anyone or feeling tied down as if you can't do anything without running it past them. No sharing money, or space or anything together. No risks of getting hurt if you don't love them.

When I was single, I had all the time to myself and I could save a whole ton of money for myself. In order to be happy about being single, you would need to focus less on being single and more on the present and to be more happier, you would need to LOVE YOURSELF.

Being single is a wonderful opportunity to put yourself first and do things that make you happy. You can see your friends, family and other people without worrying about someone else; you can also pamper yourself by reading, exercising, and enjoying your free time however you want to spend it. Get to know what you love most about yourself before you try and love someone else, or let someone else love you.
