This video is about how to be happy single, and how to be happy alone. If you want to know how to be happy single, this video will give you the advice you need. They key to being happy is to understand the thoughts that make you unhappy, and then address those thoughts.

How to be happy single is really the same as how to be happy in a relationship. You must look at your thoughts. If you are in a relationship, and you don't see your thoughts clearly, then you will suffer. Same thing with how to be happy alone. If you don't work on your thoughts, you can't be happy.

What if you're single and you live by yourself? I wish I was 9 again when I didn't find girls attractive and only cared about playing with my Micro Machines. Girls were icky and I was so much more happier.

Hi, MrBAlex, our bodies are programmed to want sexual release, not to spend all our time with 1 person. Our bodies are not programmed to want a relationship. Our minds are programmed to want one by our society.

All our minds ever do is create concepts of good and bad, perfect and imperfect, right and wrong, then compare everything we see, hear, touch to one of our ideas of good, perfect, right. Then we suffer. But our minds only do this until we discover that there is no such thing as bad

Someone told me after a breakup “You need be happy being single before you can ever be happy in a relationship”. Now, I didn’t understand what that meant until I watched your video. So thank you.

Being in a relationship is NOT the key to being happy. Living your life each day and enjoying it to the max is the key.  People bring their own crap into your life...some people pray and ask God to bring them a man and then months later they pray and ask God to PLEASE take away that man.  LOVE YOU FIRST.

Thank you for this video. I would rather be single than be treated like an option.

This man is a freaking GOD, he has helped me through some terrible times.

It just goes to show that we can only experience anything with our thoughts good or bad, not the circumstances.

"How" to be happy single? Just being single works for me.

I'm going through a divorce right now with somebody I was with for 10 years and watching your videos has really helped me cope with my feelings and brought me out of darkness.  I just want to say thank you so much for your videos.

Hello Noah, just wanted to say HUUUUGE thank you for all of your lovely videos.
My very long term partner and my soulmate left me last weekend and I am absolutely destroyed, but your videos made me feel like you are talking directly to me. I started taking notes and i feel a tiny bit better every day. I still have a lot to get though, but your words are an absolute revelation, so please continue your great work, people like you are very important as you have a knowledge and power to help people getting through the pain and suffering. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

While I understand your line of thought, a partner is a supportive role, which can support you through all these problems. Feeling alone can not be fixed by saying, that you don't need anyone, that your problems will still be there. Yes, they will, but they will be easier to handle with a person who respects, understands and loves you. Though I think, that the reason to enjoy every moment of your life is the best motivation. Whatever circumstances, make the best out of it. Things are how they are and sometimes we just have to accept our loneliness. It is just temporary. We have long lives and things will change.

You're amazing, I love the way you make people realise

The main reason there are so many people who are unhappy in relationships today is because our modern society promotes self. It is all about "me, me, me". What drives a healthy relationship is giving, not receiving. If you just want to receive and give very little or none at all, you are not relationship material and you may never be in a long lasting relationship. Saying that only you can make yourself happy is based on selfishness. Almost everybody nowadays is like "what can I get out of the relationship" instead of "what can I bring into the relationship". Not many people in today's society are capable of doing this and most can't even comprehend it. If you have this attitude, then you have no choice but to seek and find happiness alone because it is all about you, you, you.

When you are totally immersed in the activity you love, you will forget about meals and sleep, but that dosen't mean you don't need them at all. Is it possible that the need to love and be loved is a fundamental one, like when we feel hungry we need to have meals, when we feel tired we to have a sleep, when we feel lonely we just need love, we can distract ourselves for a while but eventually the tension won't be released until it is satisfied.

thank you love!!!! I've been single for ten yrs!!! but i will only think happy thoughts

[katerigonzalez]

I love being single all my life. I can work on myself and go back to school. I can focus on getting stuff done. I really am very happy and content. I don't need a man in my life to make me happy. My happiness starts with me and I am loving it. I can go out there and leave whenever I want to without being questioned.

Marriage cant make you happy.. ABSOLUTE WORD MY NIGGA. IM SCARED OF RELETIONSHIPP but I SOMETIMES WANT IT. NOW I JUST WANT TO BE single and happy and eat some cheeseburgers :)

I have never been in a relationship but I was extremely close to one of my friends. We both shared feelings for each other but she would deny it after and would claim she is just saying that because she was too nervous around me. She then went off with someone else and tried to end our friendship, which she successfully did.
I find it difficult to get close to anyone enough to have a relationship to form. It is my past that affects every possibility, people can just tell that I have a deep anger but I have never turned that anger on someone before. As much as I would want to get into a relationship I have always been told that my complex and messed up past will never get me with anyone and no one has even giving me that chance.
I have considered even to abandon all hopes of ever getting one, I am not the sociable type so that doesnt help either. And thats my story.
