Never had a relationship, but I'm happy with myself. I've seen friends make unhappy adjustments that are at times unhealthy. I'd rather be myself and that's okay

I've been in an extremely serious relationship when I was young and I truly considered her to be the one, she passed away in 2016 and I have been single ever since. I tried dating one time and it ended disastrously because dating someone who's been through what I have isn't easy and every day is a different struggle for me. Being single benefits me and my emotional/mental health immensely.

I've been both, and will say that singlehood(even an unhappy one) is still far better than a toxic relationship. Choose your partners wisely folks, as in this case something is not necessarily better than nothing.

I’m always worried if I date they’ll turn out to be a murderer, leave me, cheat on me, or just not be very nice and hurt me in some way. I’m sure not everyone is like this tho

Being single is better while you're still young unless you've already found ur one and only somehow. What I'm trying to say is don't try to hunt for love and rather wait for it to come to u (at least while u r still young like I said). Stay single at least until 20-25 and pursue ur dreams first.

I love how omori is on the thumbnail 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

I rather stay single than a fake relationship, but I would love to be in a relationship that each sides show true love and loyalty to each other

[MultiCharlotte]

Dating is hard nowadays.. the courtship and loyalty hardly exist.

IS THAT MARI AND HERO IN THE THUMBNAIL..?!

I've been single for 27 years of my life. I never once been in a real relationship ever. Get rejected my entire life. I really want to know what it's like to have a connection with someone. One thing I know about relationships is that they take a lot of work and money. So, I just don't know.

IS THAT MARI AND HERO ON THE THUMBNAIL. LMFAOOO

I think it is also important to consider the stage in life ones at. I had been in a relationship from the age 14 till 22 and went from one long relationship right into the other. But because my first relationship was abusive it set the tone for the next relationships and I never had the maturity to look at myself critically and see how broken I was. There was always someone next to me supporting me, but I never got the chance to develop myself as a real person. I was always a copy of my lover in interests. When I eventually got help I felt like an actual person for the very first time in my life and it helped me recognize my own feelings and matters in my life. I do think it is important to have people around you that can support you but a lover should extend your life, not limit it like it did with mine.

I'm currently single, last night I was struggling on whether staying single would be beneficial as all my romantic relationships ended poorly and with me feeling used, yet while there seems to be one or two points that show being single is good providing you have good friends, it seems that being in a relationship is better yet it hasn't helped with my decision on staying single or trying to find that special someone

Omori references are highly appreciated

I think it's better to be single. It's liberating. I am FREE & can do whatever I want. I don't have to worry about dealing with someone else expecting me to care for them or sacrifice anything in my life just to take care of them. I really don't want someone else's weight around my neck. People are irritating, agitating, demanding, controlling, draining, self-absorbed, childish, needy, and petty. "Love" & relationships are overrated & honestly not worth the time or the stress.

Not to be old class but I personally feel staying single until your 20s in a much better idea. This is due to the fact that the current teens are very toxic and self centered. They also don't work on themselves like a normal person should. Being in your 20s will give you a much higher emotional maturity to process information without causing harm to your significant other. By staying single it will also give you more time to form stronger bonds with your friends and more time to work on oneself than sticking to your significant other like its the end of the world. That is my view point and would highly recommend kids follow that but I cant force it onto others. Thank you

I`m 19 and in my entire life I was always been single. But in the last month I decided that I actually want to be single and enjoy life. There is no point to run the things to happen fast. I should be focused on myself and my improvement to be better partner. But many people don`t like it and critize me about my decision and even have fun of me

You cannot be betrayed when you're alone.

I've seen the statistics, too many people cheat these days.
