How can I become proud of being single?
I’m a 19-year-old teenager and I haven’t had a boyfriend since the 1st. grade and I know you’re probably like, “what the heck?” but it gets pretty annoying being single at times. There are times when I like being single — it’s like a never-ending battle between the good vs. the evil of “singledom”.
Well my questions are: How can I become proud of being single?
P.S. I also feel sometime that I’ll never find true love or a boyfriend, and it’s annoying when other people don’t understand where I’m coming from.
Being single is nothing to be especially proud of… nor is being in a relationship for that matter. One normally takes pride in personal accomplishments — “singledom” or relationships by themselves are neither. It’s more like “a thing that happens” — like a rash on your arse when wearing leather pants for twelve hours straight.
Finding true love at age 19 is at par in odds with finding a zit on Tom Cruise — not very likely! Finding true love or that zit takes persistence and impeccable timing. It will probably take you a while. When you are ready for the pain and humiliation of dating: go out there…
Don’t let other people’s opinions or perceptions drive that decision. Other people are morons…
