Is it normal that i'm tired of seeing happy couples?

I've been single for a number of years and that is simply because I haven't found "the one" (if they even exist.) I only have a few friends and all of them have significant others. Most of the time it doesn't bother me but recently it has. Does anyone else feel the same way? They complain that they have no one while they still have their bf/gf to lean on and I'm all alone. Then they tell me not to worry because my person is still out there but I can hardly believe them. Ugh, I swear I'm not like this all the time...

    Try to think of being single as being free rather than just being lonesome. I love never having to compromise with someone else.

    Maybe you could try to find some hobbies, take a class or start going to meetups. Also try to make some single platonic friends.

        You're very welcome. Also don't ever compare your insides to someone else's outsides. People can look very happy on the outside, and be miserable on the inside. Don't define yourself, or let anyone else define you by your relationship status. Whether you are part of a couple, or single you are a unique person; you are an individual.

    This is understandable. It is difficult to deal with not having someone, when in our society, it is almost come to be expected to be in a relationship. The social push to get a gf/bf is hard to deal with when you just haven't found "the one" yet. Relationships can be difficult, so when you see a happy couple in public, all you see is their good side. It is hard to remember that even they go through rough patches, which you just don't see. I'm sure everyone goes through this at some point in their life, I sure have.

    • Thank you and you're right that I only see the good side of couples. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like society wants me to have a significant other.
