While being free of any romantic engagements may actually be a positive way to improve yourself, being single can sometimes wear you down. As such, you need to at least look at how you can pluck yourself from this kind of misfortune.
Here are three disadvantages of being single.
1. You will always prefer the cheapest options available
When you are not in a relationship, you have nothing to commit to and nothing to work on and perfect. With all this relative comfort, you will drift into a dangerous plateau where you will be very comfortable with the cheapest options available. From clothing to food and from friendships to the fulfilment of the adventurous instincts of your desires, you will always settle for options just below average and, on a few occasions, average. This can be disastrous for your personal development. You can never grow when you are always okay with the cheap options.
2. You lose interest in the surrounding
Your environment is a very important component of your being. You cannot thrive in an environment that you do not understand. If you are to pursue personal development and the fulfilment of your goals, you will have to begin with the understanding of the very environment you live in. Without such mastery, you will always find yourself drifting to the very deserted areas as far as personal development is concerned, which can be disastrous.
3. You have no desire to make things right
When you are not committed to anyone, you can lose your situational and personal awareness instincts. You will be subjected to many wrongs but you will have no desire to make anything right. You kind of 'let everything happen as it deems fit.' That is very disastrous for anyone willing to grow and become successful in life.
