Does single mean being lonely?

I agree... [most of my aunts aren't married ..] i'ts being alone I say..y? because they don't find someone to stay and live with 'til nowhere .. I'ts lonely but of course must have to cheer your own self to continue to live a happy life..

I think it goes along with the fact that no man is an Island. But being single doesn't really mean being lonely. It's just that the right person has not come yet.

For me, being single does not connote with being lonely. It's how you handle yourself that defines how happy and sad you are. I have boyfriend but i guess long distance relationship works best for me since i get to have that the "single-life" way. There are a lot of things enjoyable in being single. i love strolling in th emall alone while dressed at my best (people around might be wondering what am i doing alone there with such beauty haha)...there! you need to have that high level of self confidence.

Being single doesn't mean being lonely too. Some of the single men/women are happy and they chose to be single for any reason. Being single has a purpose. But some are feeling lonely and incomplete.

sometimes I feel so too. When all of my friends go out with their boyfriends, I feel so lonely!

Hey Being single doesn't mean that you are lonely by any chance. There can't be anything better than being single, you get to enjoy life as you wish. You must be experiencing those things because maybe you are comparing yourself with your friends and their commited status. Trust me being single has its own merits and you can enjoy life without anybody's interference. being in a relationship can be stressful and quite time demanding. The freedom which you have being single is lost when you are in a relationship. Yeah it doesn't happen always, but it surely happens 90% of times. so just be happy that you are lucky to be single and can enjoy life as you wish. still if you want to know about people in a relationship if they are completely happy or not. you may ask some of your friends and conduct a research :). This will certainly help you to reach to a healthy conclusion. Hope this helps you :).

Yes, sometimes being single means lonely. You may say you still have friends. But when your friends have their own families, sometimes they can't spend much time with you as well as before. And if it is in some special festival like the Valentine's Day, your lonely feeling will be stronger. I love China

no. foe me it's not lonely. it's up to you if you feel that way because you're single. there a lot of things to do when you are. i guess i can do so many things when you're single than being attached to someone. i'm used to being single for years now. honestly sometimes i long for someone but later on i realized that i'm just fine without one. maybe it's how you deal with it.

I don't think so there were months that i am single and girlfriend to bother me. That is one of the time that i felt good. I could never be lonely because I have my family that is loving and supporting me.

Yes being single always makes to feel that we are not complete and not a part of great life.

yes me too i feel that way. is like we feel noone can care for us sometimes isnt?^^ anyway dont worry soon you find someone and me too i will find someone soon i wish so^^ just sometimes we cant find the right guy for awhile and find it after some time but we always end finding it so dont feel lonely^^ also talk with your friends when you feel this way^^ also why dont you try to meet some guys? maybe you can love one ahah^^

Absolutely NOT! Being single should not be equated with loneliness. I'm single right now but I'm happier than when I was in a relationship. I can do things my own way and go out with friends without asking permission from someone who is not even your parent. If your looking for someone that can fill the voidness or emptiness you're feeling, why not hang out with your friends, I bet that would be loads of fun. Don't let your happiness depend with just one person.

i don't think so. i believe being lonely is a choice. we can choose to be happy too. if your lonely because your single then try being not single. then if your still lonely while in a relationship then it means there is a reason why your feeling lonely or sad. try doing stuff you like by yourself and see what happens. don't count the things that are missing in your life but count the things you have. it will be easier and less sad.

Well, being single can mean different things to different people. Some may find it a relief that they are free to do whatever they want without having a spouse to second-guess them. Others may find it very sad, most of the time these people are dumped and have felt like they have done something wrong with the relationship so they blame themselves and feel lonely. Of course there are always people who have never had a girlfriend/boyfriend and either want nothing to do with relationships or want to have a relationship but is too shy or too outgoing. To me, being single has it's ups and downs but is mostly full of ups. Of course it all depends on the situation. You can't just write down "someone who is lonely" next to the word "single" in a dictionary, so why should it be automatically assumed to be like that in reality?
