Is being single for a long time a disease?

Yes, being single means that a person still lives alone without a spouse when he is an adult, either never married, divorced or widowed. Now it can be extended to no boyfriend (girlfriend), or it can be called single. If being single for a long time is a disease, what are its symptoms?

Symptoms are getting less and less confident.

If some passive singles stay single for a long time, they may have self-confidence and self-denial. Some people don't even bother to dress up everyday.

Psychologists believe that some singles will focus on their work and study because of family pressure, and bury the need for marriage, but as time goes by, this buried problem will become more and more prominent.

Symptom 2: Decline in communicative competence.

Long-term single life may make some singles more closed to daily communication. In fact, not many single people can't find the other half they like. Most of them just don't want to try to open their hearts to others. It's nice to be alone anyway, isn't it?

Long-term single people will feel insecure about intimate relationships, which leads to being too sensitive to boundaries in interpersonal communication, especially heterosexual communication, and sometimes they will have the psychology of prevention or even vigilance. Because relatives and friends will pay attention to the marital status of singles, they may be listed as people who reduce the frequency of communication, resulting in damage to the support system. This further reduces their communication skills and the possibility of finding a suitable partner.

Symptom 3 is sometimes even more irresponsible.

When the inner needs of passive singles are not satisfied for a long time, some of them may go to the other extreme of venting. Calling friends is often crazy because of venting their nature, but some people are actually unhappy inside.

Experts point out that singles tend to lack a sense of responsibility and are unwilling to assume relative social responsibilities, because they have been separated from their parents-led families for a long time and cannot enter a new family with their partners for a long time. Some people choose to be single in a noble name, probably because they are afraid of taking responsibility. The other extreme without responsibility is the lack of constraints.

Symptom 4 Psychological imbalance affects health.

Many single young people of marriageable age are under great pressure from outside, which is beyond their control because they come from outside. These external pressures prevent them from really focusing on their own needs. Not getting married is no longer their own personal business, and sometimes it becomes a family responsibility. This kind of pressure can't be solved, and the success of work and career can't make parents or their closest people pay less attention to this problem. Over time, they may be prone to insomnia, anxiety and depression.

So in fact, to some extent, it can be said that being single for a long time may really have some pressure, from the outside, and sometimes from the heart.
