I’d Rather Stay Single Than Decide To Settle For Less Than I Deserve

May 31, 2019 by apost team

After experiencing a string of unfulfilling relationships, I have decided to embrace the single life. There are many individuals who don't feel pressured to engage in empty relationships when many of their attempts at love failed in the past.

Being single can be scary, and many people feel isolated. Although most people will want to be in a relationship, it is important for everyone to experience some time on their own. When an individual is single, he or she has the opportunity to explore their dreams, goals, and personality.

While a majority of people are afraid of being single, I fear to fall in love with someone who isn't worth the time. I'm scared to dedicate years to one person and one relationship that may not work out in the long run.

Most importantly, I am afraid that a significant other could break my heart. I never want to fall in love with someone who is toxic. I'm terrified of relationships that start out perfectly and end in flames within a few months. I have chosen to live a single life until I find someone who deserves me.

When you make the choice to be single, you're refusing to let another person control your sense of worth and value. It's difficult to feel independent and confident in a relationship without first experiencing life on your own. You will be able to appreciate the benefits of single life after making the initial jump.

Relationships are difficult to manage. This is especially true for individuals who haven't discovered their path in life. It's important to not compare yourself with another person's timeline. Each person will be ready for a relationship at different points. It can be risky to ignore this natural timeline.

I am not ready to be in a committed, long-term relationship right now. There are too many things that I need to figure out about myself and my place in the world. I refuse to compare my situation in life to another person's experience. I realize that every individual is unique. Some people require more time to figure out their path in life. It is much easier to learn about yourself when you're single.

Single life is perfect for individuals who are tired of being in stressful relationships. Some people have a series of negative and emotional relationships that end up taking a toll on their happiness and success. After these bad experiences, many people make the rational decision to take a break from dating. It's helpful to take some time to process and understand why past relationships have failed. This break can yield some helpful insights for the future.

The single life can help individuals identify the important people in their life. There's nothing more damaging than having toxic people in your life on a regular basis. These people have the ability to detract from your happiness, positivity, and energy. Some people feel like leeches who desire to suck every bit of fun and optimism out of your life. When you're single, it's much easier to identify these individuals and make efforts to reduce the amount of time spent with them.

Many people venture into the single life because they know exactly what they want and deserve. Although this life is great for those searching for answers, you don't have to be confused in order to be single. Some people know exactly what kind of partner and life they want for the future. With this knowledge, there's no reason to enter into a relationship that doesn't meet your criteria for a happy life.

I would much rather be single than settle for a relationship that doesn't make me happy. I would rather spend nights and weekends alone rather than live with someone who can't appreciate or love me. There's no reason to stay with someone who can't appreciate your uniqueness. It's never a good idea to enter into a relationship for convenience or comfort alone.

Everyone deserves to be loved. I believe that each person can find someone to kiss goodnight after a long day at work. While being single has a lot of perks and possibilities, there is something special about being in a meaningful and fulfilling relationship. It's important to remember that not every relationship can be successful.

I will choose a single life until I have all of the resources needed to have a successful and happy relationship. After all, a relationship is only as complete as the two individuals of which it is comprised. I will take my time to find a purpose in life before entering into the dating scene once again.

I am not scared of being single. Instead, I am embracing the adventure with open arms. I will choose to be single until I know that relationships can make me a happy and fulfilled person.

You're the only person who can define your worth and value in life. Nobody is going to be able to make you permanently happy. That is your job. Each individual is responsible for their own satisfaction in life. It is foolish and irresponsible to rely on another person to deliver this happiness.
