Anche quando sarai single e favolosa, queste 6 cose faranno schifo

Non siete single perché nessuno vi vuole o perché non siete fatti per essere amati. Al contrario, siete single per vostra scelta.

It doesn’t matter whether you need some extra time to heal from a devastating heartbreak from the past, decided to take some time off from relationships, or simply don’t feel ready for anything serious right now.

The important thing is that you’re making the best out of your vita da single. Most of the time, you’re not even lonely.

You know you don’t need a man to complete you and you’re using this time to get your life in order.

Tuttavia, per quanto sia favoloso essere single, ci sono alcune cose che fanno schifo. Eccone 6.

1. Altre persone

Let’s face it. The biggest problem about being single is not the feelings and thoughts you have, it’s the society around you.

The truth is that, if you’re in your twenties and have been single for a while, most people in your surroundings act like they feel sorry for you.

They treat you like you’re a second class citizen – that since you haven’t been able to find a romantic partner, you’re obviously not good enough for anything else either.

Even your closest friends and family members think that you’re miserable on your own.

You’re aware that they mean well, but after a while, them looking down on you just because of your relationship status becomes tiring.

In fact, you feel like they’d rather see you in an unhealthy, toxic relationship than strong enough to go through life by yourself.

In questo modo, secondo loro, rispettereste alcuni standard sociali immaginari, ma naturalmente a nessuno importerebbe nulla di come vi sentite.

That is exactly why you shouldn’t care about other people’s opinion.

You don’t need their pity and you certainly shouldn’t feel like they’re better than you just for being romantically involved.

2. Avere solo se stessi su cui contare

You’re a strong, independent, and powerful woman who has the capacity to go through life by herself.

You don’t need anyone pushing you forward, holding your hand through the hard times, or anyone resolving your problems.

È una cosa di cui essere estremamente orgogliosi. Credetemi, non molti ce l'hanno fatta.

Tuttavia, ad essere onesti, a volte il fatto di non avere nessuno su cui contare se non se stessi fa un po' schifo.

It doesn’t mean that you are not capable of being your biggest support.

It’s just that it would be nice to have someone you can count on every once in a while. Of course, you have your friends, family, and even coworkers.

Nevertheless, you don’t have a life partner – a man to be your teammate through thick and thin.

Even though this is the last thing you would ever admit, the truth is that there are times when you wish to have a man who will be there to have your back. You don’t need him to guide you or be your savior.

Ti servirebbe qualcuno che affronti la vita al tuo fianco, spalla a spalla.

3. Non avere un accompagnatore

E tutti quei matrimoni, feste di compleanno e altre celebrazioni a cui dovete sempre andare da soli? È uno schifo non avere un accompagnatore, vero?

It’s a pain having to choose whether you’ll go alone, look for a date months ahead just so you don’t have to go through those series of boring questions regarding your love life, or ask a amico ragazzo to tag along just so you don’t look desperate.

4. Mancanza di intimità fisica

When you say that you’re tired of sleeping alone, most assume that you’re just horny and that one raunchy night would solve all of your problems.

Ebbene, il problema dell'essere single è in realtà un po' più profondo di un desiderio carnale.

In fact, what you miss is physical intimacy. Whether you like to admit it or not, it’s not always easy going home to a cold, empty bed with nobody waiting for you.

Not only that, you also can’t remember the last time you kissed or hugged someone.

Vi mancano più di ogni altra cosa le coccole e il risveglio accanto alla persona amata.

Of course, you could be sleeping around to have the physical satisfaction, but that’s simply not your cup of tea.

Inoltre, anche in questo caso, si sentirebbe comunque l'assenza di un vero legame fisico con un altro essere umano.

5. Non essere innamorati

Per quanto vi piaccia la vostra vita da single e la stiate vivendo al meglio, dovete ammettere che la sensazione di essere innamorati è altrettanto forte.

Vi ricordate il tipo di nervosismo buono, quello farfalle in your stomach, the sweating of your palms, and the sensation you get when you know you’re about to see your crush?

Well, sometimes you can’t help but miss all those feelings. You miss liking a man, being attracted to him, and wanting him to become yours.

However, just because nostalgia hits you from time to time, it doesn’t mean that it should serve as an excuse to jump into a new relationship.

Perché indovinate un po': essere infelicemente innamorati è molto peggio che non esserlo affatto.

6. Il mercato degli incontri

Among other things that are a drag when you’re single – even though you’re killing it – is the dating market.

It’s not that you’re obsessed with the idea of finding a boyfriend, but you didn’t shut your door to love forever either.

Così, di tanto in tanto, uscite per un paio di appuntamenti. Tuttavia, ogni volta tornate più delusi di prima.

Everyone around you keeps setting you up on blind dates and men hit on you. But, not one has what you’re looking for.

It’s not that you’re too picky. You just have i vostri standard e si rifiutano di accontentarsi di meno, il che è fantastico.

Tuttavia, a volte si desidera semplicemente non andare mai più a un altro appuntamento di merda.
