I’m not a huge fan of the single life but in the past when I’ve been in a relationship, I always felt like I needed to check my phone 24/7. I like being able to just chill and play videogames, watch a movie, hang with friends without checking my phone consistantly —RealECW

Learned to love myself without needing anyone else’s words of affirmation after being single for the first time in a few years. —FinalTourist

I’m learning to navigate the world through the lens of my own needs and desires without worrying how I’m being perceived by a partner.
I do not believe I will be a good person to be in a relationship until I can do that- so I’m happy to struggle with it.
Also I really love dancing poorly to LCD sound system while my dog watches with fear and judgement in his eyes. Not that I couldn’t do that before… it’s just so free to do it in my own apartment alone. —buttercupvibes

As someone who got out of a 3 year long relationship about 4 months ago I would say one of the biggest thing I’m glad about being single is being able to see myself clearly again, you don’t realise how much being in a relationship can blind you to how you’ve changed, or how love can numb you to certain things, when I got out of that relationship and once the ential crying and being depressed phase ended I slowly realized how much happier I was and how much I’ve changed, some of it good and some bad, but it was like being able to see myself through a clear lens and not through a distored one —mercury111111111

I was engaged but broke it off in July after putting up with a lot of disrespect from him and his family. I had quite a bit of money saved aside for our wedding but now I can spend it on things I’ve wanted for a very long time.
I am finally taking care of myself and learning more about who I am as an individual instead of being someone’s fiancé. —celestialnight994

I never want to turn the key in the door and have to worry about what is going to on the other side again. I don’t want to have to manage another’s emotions or walk on eggshells.
I love the peace that my space is mine alone. I also hate the obligations that tend to come with relationships. I don’t want to attend other people’s events, or buy presents for inlaws etc. Basically, I’m selfish:) —UnfeelingSelfishGirl

I learned who I am after I decided to stop dating. It’s been 4 years being single, and I really love who I’ve become. I was able to establish myself, my goals, and who I want to be. —kylo_drew
