Being single means I dont have to explain what I buy or how I spend my time.
I want control over my own life and money.

Relationships dont always equate to happiness, anyway, and that is evidenced by the high divorce rate nowadays.
Even if you dont desire a significant other in your life, bettering yourself is never a negative thing.
Doing What You Want When You Want
This is a big one for me.
I love making my own schedule.
I like eating whatever I want to eat, even if that means ice cream for dinner.
I just love being able to do my own thing.

Relationships are great, but serious ones take incredible amounts of commitment.
I want to be able to have weekends where Im not doing anything.
I want to be able to get up and go without thinking about anyone else.
I want to be able to spend days and night working on my blog.
I see them every day, scowling and bickering.
I see their agony and their constant pain.
I see them every day, scowling and bickering.
I see their agony and their constant pain.
I see them together and apart, momentarily happy and eternally depressed.
I see the rage and the fraudulence.
I see the bestiality and the barbarism.
Ive learned to recognize the curious webs of truth and lies.
And Ive learnt to hide my heavy-heartedness and dismay.
Im not sure they realize what a poor example theyve set for their children to look forward to.
How do you deal with this loop?
Your body hurts and your heart aches for the loss of your innocent childhood.
You just want to curl up in bed and be lost to your whimsical thoughts.
Sometimes its easy to play pretend and weave happy thoughts to keep going.
Sometimes you make a confidant in your head.
Sometimes you stalk charming boys with seemingly harmless smirks and simple lives.
You stop looking for intimacy or attachment.
You stop paying attention to that desire to have someone to call yours.
You ignore the warmth you feel when a friend appreciates you for you.
You discard the irreconcilable want of a roaring flame.
You slam the door in the face of glowing embers you had never wanted.
And you revert to your thoughts and find strength in your will and ambition.
You would rather enjoy the peace of solitude and savor the amity of the quiet.
Its a choice you make every day.
To be or to not be sucked into that incalculable spiral.
Its a choice youre most content with because you know you would never do wrong by yourself.

I can live by my own standards and dont need to accommodate someone else.
The pros of not being in a relationship outweigh the cons of not being in one.
I dont have to take care of anyone but myself.
I dont have to deal with someone arguing or being annoying.
Saves a ton of money.
I dont need permission to do things.
I can live by my own standards and dont need to accommodate someone else.
I dont want emotions to cause problems in my life (breakups, sex & pregnancy, etc.)
Those are just a few I can think of.

My health requires daily tending, my business requires daily tending.
My space requires tending.
I honestly, dont have room in my life for ONE more thing that requires work and tending.

I have decided to just focus on myself for now.
The reason why I am single is because I have decided to just focus on myself for now.
All I want to do right now is just get out of my 3rd year of high school.
When I finish high school for good then maybe thats when Ill start dating again.
I want to work on improving myself, and being happy with myself.
Cause thats what matters most to me right now.
Because I dont want to scare guys away from me.

In relationships people tend to lose their essence becoming someone dependent.
I personally prefer being single because I like my individuality.
For what I have seen, in relationships people tend to lose their essence becoming someone dependent.
I dont like the idea of giving someone that much control over me.

Mostly I enjoy living my own life my way.
Im taking a little offense that something might be wrong with me.
Ive been single since 99 and Im 28 years old and Im loving every minute of it.
I dont have to answer to anyone and dont have to explain myself to anyone.
I can have sex with whoever I want (safe of course).
Im thinking the question you should ask is whats wrong with those people in relationships.
Dont they know how wonderful it is to be free?

There are a lot of reasons.
I would rephrase it slightly, though.
Some of my reasons are:
I dont need to be in a relationship.
Im not criticizing people who really need to have a significant other so you can feel happy and fulfilled.
I recognize that most people seem to be oriented this way and that its perfectly normal.
But I also recognize that Im more comfortable being single than most people are.
Im used to being on my own and to doing things by myself.
Even as a young child, I was unusually self-sufficient.
I find most people really draining, and need a lot of recovery time after being around people.
While there are people I dont feel this way about, they are few and far between.
The idea of having another person around all the time just isnt very appealing.
Im the single mom of a teenager.
Men who dont have children are seldom understanding of how much time and energy is involved in parenting.
I form relationships slowly.
Most men I meet seem to form attachments much more quickly than I do.
And Im not interested in being that.
Im a woman whos interested in men.
For women, the effect is the exact opposite; everything gets worse.
Im aware of how unequal heterosexual partnerships usually are, and Im not interested in an unequal relationship.
I just dont have the energy to go out and meet new people often.
When I do, I tend to do very well, so its not about fear of rejection.
It just doesnt really seem worth the effort.
Its hard to find people who Im compatible with.
Im an empathetic person, observant, funny, and warm.
Most people would probably describe me as likable.
Ive been described as easy to be around, clever, and down-to-earth.
These are qualities most people find attractive.
But I also have pretty severe ADHD, chronic insomnia, and Celiac disease.
I suspect it would be too much for a lot of people.
Its hard to find people who are compatible with me.
The set of qualities that Id look for in a partner arent all that common, particularly in men.
Im not going to have more children.
Having and raising children together is a reason many people want a significant other in the first place.
That isnt applicable to me.
I have other things going on.
Im living life and doing stuff.
I have friends to hang out with when I want to, to talk to when I need to.
I dont get bored and I dont lack ways to spend my time.
