It is fair to understand the frustration when we live in a world that condemns people who are single for a long time. They are looked down upon as if they've failed at life and are good for nothing. It gets difficult to find courage in a world that promotes intimate relationships. From the very beginning, the idea of having your fairy tale come true, the prince getting his princess and they living a happily ever after has been embedded in our brains.
But you need to understand that being alone is not the same as being lonely. One can truly embrace being alone. There are many positives to spending your time alone, all by yourself. Let's know how you can be alone and enjoy the time you spend with yourself, without feeling the need of a romantic partner.
Self Affirmations
Begin by knowing your worth. Know that you are enough. When you feel content within yourself, only then you will stop seeking comfort in others. The most effective way to feel content within yourself is to know yourself. Yes, you might feel like you know yourself, but in reality, you cannot see the parts of you that need fixing.
You will only understand that when you spend more time with yourself. Begin your day with affirmations. Focus on your work, be productive and creative. Cook your own meals or learn a new recipe. Meet your true friends and have meaningful conversations.
Go On Date With Yourself
There is no shame in sitting alone in a movie theatre, eating your popcorn and being unbothered. You will actually feel better when you go watch your favourite movie of your favourite genre, without having to compromise with the likes of any significant other and have fun in the theatre. Once you begin going out with yourself, there is no coming back. You will enjoy the power of being alone and independent.

Rekindle With Your Hobbies
The best way to enjoy the time with yourself is to connect with your hobbies. It will not only be essential to re-connect with yourself but also aid in making new connections. It might help you find like minded people and there is a chance you might discover your hidden talent.
Strengthen Your Bond With Friends
You may know many people but along the way, you will realise who really is your friend and your confidant. Cherish them, spend more time with them. We often take our friends for granted in a busy life. It is essential to spend time with them, listen to them and celebrate them.
These tips are not indicating or brainwashing you to lead a single life forever or promoting being celibate! It is only to emphasize on the fact that you can be single and still be happy in your own company.
