When Being Single Really Sucked

Looooong days

There are really, really long days when you need someone to talk to or just listen to you rant away patiently, hold your hand and assure you that everything's going to be okay.

Your friends are great to be around with, but you will always have this longing for something more intimate. A relationship that goes deeper than friendship could go.

+1

I don't mind going solo and being surrounded by couples. I can't help it if my friends would bring a +1 in some of our get-together. I totally understand. But if I REALLY need to bring someone with me, although my list of friends are long, it's a little frustrating when I can't just pick one.

It would have been easier if you've got this one permanent person you know you can automatically bring with you.

Post-breakup drama

I've had long term relationships. So each break up, no matter how long the relationship went is always bloody, always messy, always sucks.

The adjustment period from having someone to turn to all the time, someone you regularly text, call, have meals with and go places with to having to deal with loneliness or being alone for the first time in a long time can really get to you. Being easily attached, adjusting from "having" to "losing" was really devastating for me.

Holiday blues

Holidays are mostly when people come home or get together with their loved ones. When you're alone during the holidays, yes there's nothing wrong about that. But sometimes, as human nature, you long to feel that you belong. You long to feel home with someone.

Ridiculous comments

It sucks when people poke fun at you like you're a freak without caring to know you have good reasons why you are single. It sucks to hear people make snide remarks and make you look desperate.
