“Don’t worry you just haven’t met the right one yet.” “You’ll find someone.” “Maybe try online dating.”

Sound familiar? This would be single shaming. According to Hayley Quinn, a Match dating expert, “Single shaming comes from the idea that being single is somehow ‘lesser’ to being in a relationship.”

You know that feeling when you’re scrolling through Instagram, seeing nonstop pictures of couples, engagements, and weddings, and thinking wow it seems everyone is in a relationship and I’m not, there must be something wrong with me. Let me tell you, that is totally FALSE!

Nowadays, society places a great deal of pressure on people to be in a relationship to feel complete. People who are single are viewed with pity for not having a partner, which makes them believe that they are not enough without someone else. This is simply untrue.

The most important advice I have heard is you can’t love someone until you love yourself. But, when we are so focused on finding someone to love, we lose sight of the one we will be with forever, ourselves.

Why must a person need another to receive this validation from others? Why is being alone so bad? When did alone = lonely?
