Single people, how do you remain sane being single?

One thing I noticed about my exes was that there was always something that could be better. I'm a social butterfly and I yearn for socializing but I had to avoid talking to the attractive girls or boy just because I had this idea that I wasn't good enough and they'd choose them over me on looks alone.

While the relationship was nice, I felt an immediate sense of relief when we broke up because I no longer had to worry about them to prove that I'm loyal.

It didn't help that I felt that I wanted to do things but they didn't and the partners that I had that were cool had another person (who was their bf) because I was the side piece.

I like spending time by myself and will take myself on a date to the movies or at a really nice restaurant (pre-covid). I also found a love for singing and making music which I'm still learning what to do.

I used to rely on others to make me feel like I was interesting but now I try to make myself more interesting TO myself.

It was really has for some exes and I still occasionally miss them, but I talk to people on here as a way of socializing.
