5. Emotional Independence
Emotional intelligence is a concept that has been surfacing and gaining a lot of popularity ever since the beginning of the decade. It has been defined as; “the ability to recognize one’s own emotions and those of others, all while uncovering each emotion separately and using it as a liable information to guide our approach in life, and also adjust it when needed to adapt to new environments and solve complex issues.” Being single allows you to become more emotionally intelligent, and therefore emotionally independent. This means that you don’t need anyone’s validation or approval to feel whatever you are feeling at that exact moment. Some of us are more introverted than others. Some are versatile and can be extremely extroverted under the right circumstances while having a need for introversion every now and then. Anxiety, stress, feeling too much, and being numb at times, are things we can all relate to, yet none of us fully comprehend it. More often than not, we give ourselves and others a hard time allowing these feelings to surface, while it is a completely natural and human thing. Being single is a great way to work on our emotional independence, making us good and active members of our communities. When the time is right, we will be healthy partners, good parents, loyal friends, and compassionate individuals.6. The Best Of Both Worlds
Being single doesn’t mean you’re completely off the dating scene. In fact, it allows getting the best of both worlds. You enjoy the freedom and flexibility that comes with not being officially committed to anyone while getting all the fun from meeting new people and going on blind dates. Flirting is a natural and enjoyable way of boosting your self-confidence, all while having a good time. Genuine fluid flirting is also a great way to connect with others and improve your social skills, not to mention that casual dating is almost like an ‘internship’ for future relationships.7. Being Single Can Help You Find The Right Balance
Being single doesn’t mean that you are completely illiterate about romantic relationships. This time only allows you to compare and reflect on your previous relationships, or those of the people you love, like your parents or friends. It is undeniable that these relationships have affected you in a way or another. Therefore it is very important to understand its impacts and try to find your balance. This balance is made of all the lessons you’ve learned in the past and things you saw in your surroundings. It is a self-balance that allows you to stay grounded and recognize patterns of behavior either in yourself or others, and know how to deal with them, even when it gets overwhelming.- Advertisement -
