Why being 'single' is so much better than being in love

Why being 'single' is so much better than being in love

Society has many stereotypes and prejudices about love. As a result, people often feel pressured to stay in a relationship, even if they are not happy with it. But remember that you can be alone, but not alone. Being in a committed relationship with yourself actually has many benefits. Here are some reasons why one of the most important relationships you will ever have is with yourself, and sometimes loneliness is the best option, according to the 'Bright Side':

We are often guilty of being 'single'.
Research has shown that people value single men and women more negatively. Singles face different types of discrimination. So the next time someone asks when you will find your partner, keep in mind that they are actually invading your privacy.

It is better to learn to be good to yourself first.
No matter how hard you try, if you do not love yourself you can not build a healthy relationship. It is no surprise that scientists warn us that partners who care more about themselves are more satisfied with their relationship. Self-compassion means being kind and caring to yourself. Rather, people who are in conflict with themselves tend to be controlling, dominant, and judgmental.

You can develop more as an individual.
Think about all the time singles have for themselves. They can try different hobbies, achieve their craziest dreams or pursue their careers. You do not believe it? Singles are 2 times more likely to have a home than single men.

Singles actually have super strong relationships.
There is a stereotype that single people suffer from loneliness, but this has been proven wrong. The fact that you are not in a relationship with anyone means that you are more likely to have stronger ties with your family and friends. Singles are more likely to socialize, offer and receive help from family and other people.

Pursuing love can make your life boring.
This constant desire makes us start a chase to find another important one. Unfortunately, sometimes this means lowering expectations or giving up important qualities in a potential partner.

Being single will make you healthier and better.
An added bonus when you are 'single' is the fact that you are likely to be healthier. For example, singles are more likely to have a healthier ‘BMI’ index, which leads to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and less chronic condition.
