I remember the day during my sister’s wedding and my grandpa told me this: “Kailan ka mag-aasawa?” (“When you will get married?”). I didn’t answer anything or should I say: “No one likes me…” or “Because I am so shy to court a girl.”
Being single is a choice and not a destiny. But some of the people said that it is their destiny as single because no one likes them but they refused to court someone.
So I write this article according to my observation why some people choose to be single. Let’s find out!
Physical Insecurities
Some people are very insecure about their physical attributes. Like for example, boys are more attractive with six-pack abs or with handsome face while girls are more attractive if they have long, shiny hair and curves as well as their beautiful face. In that kind of social norms, people categorized as ugly and beautiful/handsome – which is not the basis of choosing a partner in your life. But the world is so judgmental so we can’t blame it but do not let anyone put you down. Love the person you wanted to and share the happiness with him/her.
Bad Experiences
Some people wanted to be single for a long time because of their biggest heartbreak with their ex. So they try to forget to love again and stay single until they find the worthy one.
Love vs. Career
Most of the people are up to earn money but they set aside their love life – and most of the time… some of them parted ways. People tend to choose love over career.
Freedom
Most people tend to choose to be single because they want freedom. They don’t want to get into a relationship and commitment to their partner. Most people want to enjoy life without a partner, they don’t want to put themselves in the boiling water or such struggles.
This is what I observed from my friends and me as well why they choose to be single – and it is not too bad to be single because we are only assuring ourselves until we find our partner that will accept your imperfections.
