• Singleness equals loneliness.
This is simply not the case. The only single people who claim to be lonely are those who choose to be lonely. One of the reasons why singleness seems so scary is because of the term itself: Single.
• A relationship will help me feel better about myself.
A relationship is not an insurance policy for happiness, satisfaction, or fulfillment.
• If I'm single and can't find anyone, it means something is wrong with me, or that I'm a failure.
Being single can be very unsettling and can certainly make people ask themselves, "Is there something wrong with me?" The answer is no. Every one of us has something wrong with them. Nobody on this planet is perfect.
• Being single is unacceptable and I must be in a committed relationship as soon as possible.
Look at the prejudices and stereotypes many people have about being single. Almost nothing positive is ever assumed about singles.
• Singleness is meant to be a "waiting period" for finding the right person.
This may be true for some, but it's not an across-the-board fact.
• Accepting singleness is giving up or admitting defeat.
Accepting singleness is not a defeat; it's a victory.
• There are no advantages to being single.
