You will never be happy in a relationship if you can’t feel good on your own.
Many of us are afraid of being lonely, we feel that we can’t make plans for the future without someone next to us, that life isn’t complete without our other half.
The secret is to feel comfortable with who you are and what you want in general, not only when you’re in a relationship.
You have to be your number one priority and you really need to understand that, no matter how interested others might seem in you, at the end of the day there’s you…with yourself.
Keep near you only people that are an inspiration for you, those who can teach you something and make your life better.
Stop giving yourself deadlines. If you’re always saying to yourself that you need to find a partner, you’ll only be able to make wrong decisions when it comes to relationships.
You won’t be a good partner if you can’t even rely on yourself. And don’t make your partner your number one priority as soon as you become a couple. Trust, respect and love are built in time.
To make being alone easier, you need to keep in mind that when you’re on your own, you’re not distracted by someone else so you have enough time to reflect and grow.
Although many people believe that loneliness is a cause for depression, studies have shown that being alone can actually reduce depression in young adults.
When you’re by yourself, it’s the perfect time to think about your relationships with others and to reflect on your life, so you can decide exactly what you want.
You need to learn to trust yourself and to feel good in your own skin. Also, being alone can improve your capacity of focusing and your academic performances.
The conclusion is that you shouldn’t be sad that you’re alone, you should use this opportunity to get to know and love yourself, and you’ll notice that once you’ll feel good in your own skin, you will start attracting the right kind of people in your life.
