Being single has both its advantages and disadvantages. Is being single equal to being happy? While most singles yearn to be in a relationship with someone, it is not always fun.

One of the biggest advantages of being single is that you can be free. You do not have to worry about letting your boyfriend/girlfriend know where you are, worrying about why he/she hasn’t called you for the day, and so on. You also have more time for your friends and family and any leisure activities that you enjoy doing. It is also a great time to save. No longer would you have to buy him/her gifts and go on fancy dates.

However, the cons associated with being single also do weigh quite heavily. You may start worrying about the fact that you have not been able to find the right person yet. This could have a great impact on your health and stress levels. Similarly, there will be times where you will feel lonely and would want company, as no matter how many friends you may have; it is not the same as having a partner. Most of the time it depends on how one handles being single that results in whether or not one enjoys it.
