Singled OutSinglehoodFor some people,It's a walk in the park.They relish the freedom of not being tied down by another person,and having the time and space to persue personal passions,like picking up a new language,learning how to pole-dance -_-,or going for rock-climbing lessons.They see it as an opportunity to esplore who they are,and who they can be.
On the flip side of he coin,some singles feel like they got the short end of the stick.They find themselves constantly envying others,and feeling incomplete in a group of lovely-dovey.starry-eyed couples.Things get even worse when they see the class nerd going out with a hot babe or hunk.They find themselves constantly thinking,"WHAT"S WRONG WITH ME?"
All of us are destined for relationships with others,we need to give and receive affection,and to connect with people.Thats why being single can sometimes feel like we're missing out on something that the rest of the world is enjoying---we long for that level of anthentic connection and intimacy with a significant other,to be known and appreciated for who we really are and what you feel.
Build FriendshipsYour friends are not"Second best",or just a stand-in until Mr or Ms Perfect comes along,so don't treat them that way.Besides,you'll never know if one of them turns out to be right one for you further down the road
So Don't lose hope =)
