Do you REALLY love being single?

[may12]

Lagi kasi akong may nababasa (usually sa fb) na ang saya daw maging single... walang pino-problema... kontento na siya na walang bf/gf...

Pero minsan nakakairita kasi eh. If you really love being single, eh bakit kailangan laging ipamukha 'yan sa mga tao? Kasi diba kung post ka ng post about sa pagiging single mo, eh di aware na aware ka talaga sa status mo diba? Parang conscious ka talaga na something's missing in your life.

So 'pag sinabi niyo bang masarap ang single, do you really, honestly mean it?

Malay mo masaya naman talaga yung mga friends mo na single. Posibleng ang iba dito galing sa failed relationship at ngayon lang nila na a appreciate ang pagiging single posibleng ang iba masaya lang talaga. Posibleng meron ding nagpapanggap pero hindi naman lahat.

Hindi porke single ka malungkot ka at hindi rin porke married or in a relationship ka masaya ka. Besides iba iba ang mga bagay na nakapagpapasaya sa tao hindi porke masaya si juan sa ganitong bagay magiging masaya na rin si pedro. Each of us has our own measure of what happiness is.

Bakit ka naman naiirita pag nag po post mga friends mo regarding their single status and saying na hindi na dapat ito ipangalandakan para mo na ring sinabi na yung mga nag po post na happy couple sila kung talagang happy sila hindi na rin nila kailangang ipangalandakan.

By the way I don't post in fb that I love being single nor blatantly say that I do, I'm just defending those who do.

^Siguro sis naiirita lang ako kasi usually sila din yung nagpopost ng quotes about love, etc.


Kasi meron din namang isang beses na nagpost ang isang friend ng mga reasons kung bakit daw siya masaya na single siya, at parang naisip ko pa na gusto ko na din maging single haha. Kasi hindi naman siya usually nagpopost ng ganoon or about love... usual posts niya ay yung mga travels niya at masasayang happenings sa buhay niya. Kaya convinced akong masaya talaga siya.

Minsan defense mechanism nila yun so tell the whole world that they are contented.  Sometimes we resort to online statuses to show something that WE WANT to feel.  To help up absorb that feeling kasi hindi natin maramdaman (that positivity).  Minsan when people get into a breakup, they will post na masaya sila, etc pero deep inside its the opposite. 

I'm not doing this in particular pero I see friends who try to tell other people that they are happy when you can see in their eyes they are not.   Kaya in my case, I rarely post any emotions on FB, instagram kasi its not good.  Sometimes it doubles up your insecurities.  Its still better to talk to a friend one on one kesa broadcasting your feelings.

Sabagay... siguro gusto rin nila ikumbinsi sarili nila na okay naman sila.
Sige, I would try to be more understanding of them. Thanks sa replies.

I used to...not anymore.

[chinablue]

yes! i'm so loving my freedom! 

[superjuzh]

Masarap kasi free ka, walang l.q, hindi mo kailangan magtext miya't miya lalo na kapag kasama mo friends mo at hindi mo kailangan mamroblema pag monthsary niyo. Sa kabilang banda malungkot din lalo na kapag mag isa ka at may nakita kang magjowang naglalandian sa harap mo. Dun mo maiisip na mag isa ka pala talaga, na sana sa ganong sitwasyon may kasama at kalandian ka din.

Masaya naman maging single pero MAS masaya kung may nagmamahal sa yo bukod sa mga kaibigan at kapamilya mo

Uy gets kita dito. Pansin ko nga yung mga nagpopost pa ng "happy to be single" kind of status and pictures eh yun pa yung mas malulungkot. Sila pa yung mas "searching" pala talaga. Pero feel ko din naman, defense mechanism , yung ayaw na kinaka-awaan. I mean, admit it, super happy vibes nga naman tignan ng mga couple pictures.

For me, for the girls who do this. Ipost niyo na lang na "searching kayo". Pero not naman in a desperate kind of way. Parang ano lang, hint to the guys na you are welcome to dating. May friends ako nagppost ng "where's my knight in shining armor"  ayan, mas welcoming yan. Kesa yung "I don't need a man, I'm so happy to be single blah blah" - mas mukhang defensive eh. You can be happy at the same time searching naman eh.

Besides, for me, by the end of the day, everyone looks for that someone to fully accept and love them. May it be a man or a woman.

Im in a relationship now but when I was still single and came from a 6year relationship, I can say na I LOVED AND ENJOYED BEING SINGLE. I learned to value my independence and enjoyed my own company.

Sis May12 meron din akong kakilala na parating magpopost na they love being single to the point na parang mafefeel mo na facade lang nila yun or is that their way to bait someone? hehe.

[blackroseMD]

NO...
Siyempre nandun na yung walang nag didikta o nag lilimit sayo.. Mas nagagawa mo yung gusto mo.... Pero andun parin yung inggit... Na sana ako din... Ako lang ang single samin magkakaibigan, and yung mga friends ko kung magkwento, parang wala ako dun, like hello? kilig na kilig? kawawa naman ako bitter! haha! siyempre kinig nalang ako sa mga mumblings nila.. Pero siyempre I was wishing na deep inside sana ako din.Siguro peer pressure...

May mga nagpaparamdam, pero ramdam na ramdan na s*x lang ang gusto... May mga seryoso pero di ko naman gusto... I don't want to settle for less.

Hoping padin naman ako, sana one day, bago man lang mag menopause eh dumating na yung taong makakapagpatibok ng puso ko.. They told me na manhid ako, di pako ready dahil madali ako ma bored, pero still I'm hoping.. Someday...

[Chinito]

hmm interesting.

ayos lang sakto lang

I've been single forever and I like it. I can't say I won't like being in a relationship since that hasn't happened yet, but in the past years where I found myself infatuated with someone, it became complicated and filled with drama. I prefer the peace that I have now. Still, if I do meet someone who is worth the drama, I'll probably be more than happy to commit. My advice though: if people keep on reminding you about your being single, and making it sound like it's a bad thing even if it really isn't, I think the smartest thing to do is to stay away from these people. Bad vibes are never helpful.

[devilish_einjel]

nung una, lalo na nung mga panahon na active ang social life ko e enjoy ko pa ang pagiging single..,pa cute pa cute lang sa mga boys haha joke! at walang nagbabawal sayo (although hindi naman strict
[textspeak!] ex ko) pero netong mga nakaraang araw, nakaka senti din.. nakakamiss din yung may kasabay ka pumasok, or kaya may maghahatid sundo sayo, or yung palaging may nagtetext sayo.. lalo na pag may nakakasabay ako sa jeep na lovers haha, hindi naman sa naiingit pero ayun nga nakakamiss yung may ka-relasyon ka.. right now e patay na patay ang lovelife  work bahay lang kasi ako palagi.. pero last week, after 1 year of break up e bigla nagparamdam si ex.. problema kaya nun

Wala din yang pinagkaiba dun sa mga nagpopost about how great it is to be in a relationship tapos makikita mo na lang yung mga succeeding posts or kinabukasan mga pasaring na sa bf/gf about some love spat or issue. Or yung mga magpopost about how wonderful life is blah blah tapos maya maya puro mga post na about reklamo sa buhay. The reality is hindi dapat papaapekto or siniseryoso or masyado dapat ina-analyze ang mga nasa social networking sites kasi nowadays wala na yang pinagkaiba sa mga kapitbahay either airing their dirty laundry or ang ganda ng bahay from the outside tapos ang gulo pala ng household sa loob: pakitang tao lang talaga. As they say, nobody really knows what goes on behind closed doors. Pero ang masaya about facebook na di pwede gawin sa nakakabwisit na kapitbahay: kung di mo bet ang nakikita mong post or wall ng facebook friend mo, tanggalin na yan sa friends list or just keep them out of your newsfeed.

There is an advantage & disadvantage of being single. Advantage kasi you are free to do whatever you want at ang disadvantage aminin man naten o hindi there is still a part of us na parang kulang. iba din kasi yung love ng friend, family, etc. Maganda sana if balanse lahat ng bagay

[sexykhuletzky]

I'm happy being single pero mas mahappy syempre if I have someone with me.

[sweetie_pixie]

I love being single! more time with my family and friends.. No man no cry!
