“What the Experts Say Psychologist Jenny Taitz sees singledom as a chance to figure out what you want from life. The extra time you have compared to people in relationships allows you to understand what you want and value. While you might think that people in relationships can do all that to understand themselves and pursue their dreams, the reality is that whatever they do in life has to consider someone else’s needs. You cannot fully understand your values while being influenced by someone you spend all your time with. Your principles and needs will always be skewed to accommodate your partner while in a relationship. So, being single is the best way to make time for yourself. You can be who you want to be, build your dream life free of constraints. Want to go to boozy brunch with friends? No one is stopping you. Want to take a year to travel the world? You don’t have to ask for permission. Be single and go live your best life!” “1. Singles Have More Time For Themselves Being in a committed relationship takes time—a lot of it. Constantly having to slot in some couple time can be tiring and can stop you from building the life of your dreams. Imagine trying to pursue a dream while in a relationship. While it’s not impossible, it sure requires a lot more sacrifice when you have someone else’s needs to consider. Say you want to travel, move to another city because of career opportunities, or otherwise follow your dreams. You can’t expect your partner to give up their dreams to follow you worldwide. Thus, all your dreams will have to either be kept on hold or pursued with half-measures. Relationship expert Niloo Dardashti, Psy.D., explains that people committed to a relationship tend to stop doing things independently. People in couples usually lose touch with themselves because they have less time to focus on personal development. She explains that being alone makes you more self-sufficient, more willing to “roll with the punches” and take on whatever life throws at them. When your life is wholly yours, you are more likely to take risks and pursue whatever dreams you have.” -Lakeisha Ethans --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
