When you are single and probably disappointed by any new acquaintance, it is natural to ask yourself: "what will happen to me?". If you feel that these thoughts are becoming disturbing, there are a few things to keep in mind:

- Look more closely at what you think about being single

You should definitely not love the fact that you are single, but that does not mean you should hate it either. Try to get away from the idea ingrained in your head that "being single means failing" while "being in a relationship makes you a winner". 

If this is too difficult, try examining the reason why you are single and see if it is really necessary now to be in a relationship. Are you recovering from a toxic relationship? Are you choosing to focus on something else? Or are you just stuck at home due to the pandemic? If you can find and master the reason why you are single, this will help reduce the pressure you feel to find love

- Resist the urge to compare yourself to others

You may feel antkhi signs whenever you feel like you are not fulfilling your goals. Alexandra Emery, a licensed psychotherapist, says that "many people treat marriage as a historic moment in life and if they have not reached that moment, it seems to them that they are lagging behind".

And yet, despite what everyone thinks of timelines and historical moments, "there is no right way to make life," says Emery. The moment you feel you are getting caught up in a vortex of comparison, refocus your thoughts and get back to the present. Take a deep breath and if you can, talk to someone.

- Focus on the things that make you happy

If you seem to be attaching too much importance to romantic love, direct that energy to your friends, family, and yourself. Focusing on these relationships will help you more than you think. You can also think of a hobby, volunteer work, etc.

The more often you get away from the idea that you are a half, waiting to become full, the more complete you will feel with yourself, because after all, you are!
