You need outside compliments to get to feel good about yourself.
Nina Mercado
You need reassurance you have value.
You feel like a strong relationship is the ultimate sign of success.
You feel like theres something wrong with you for not being able to settle down.
You feel like your single status is proof you arentgood enough.
Youre convinced youre missing out on something special.When it comes down to it, youre jealous.
Youre jealous of friends who get to spend the holidays decorating the house with their person.
Youre jealous of couples who seem like theyve never been happier since theyve found their soulmate.
In essence, youre comparing yourself to them.
Youre assuming theyre happier than you even though you have no concrete proof.
Youre assuming your sadness runs deeper than theirs.
Your heart was broken.
That wasnt your choice.
So saying youre alone because you want to be alone makes you feel like a fraud.
