Single People Are the Happiest People in the World
According to the research, In the United States, 51 percent of adults are single. Due to increase in divorce rates and marriage fall outs the number of single people keeps on reeling high at an enormous rate. Myriads of people avoid getting stuck in long -term relationship and because of that near about 128 million Americans are not married. Despite the fact that we live in a society where technology is increasingly connecting more people and bringing them closer than ever before, plenty of folks really do just want to be left alone, finds a study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.
A survey of more than 4,000 New Zealanders found that people who have decided to be alone and do not want to get involved in any social or personal relationship seems to be happier as compared to their coupled up counterparts. "It's a well-documented finding that single people tend to be less happy compared to those in a relationship, but that may not be true for everyone," lead researcher Yuthika Girme, a psychology doctoral candidate at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, said in a statement.
A paper published in 2013 in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology determined that people who fear of being single and consistently indulge themselves in a relationship leave them unhappy. "During relationship initiation and maintenance, those who fear to be single may prioritize relationship status above relationship quality," the authors write in their journal article, "settling for less responsive and less attractive partners and remaining in relationships that are less satisfying."
Fear of being alone will lead to unfortunate relationship decisions and act as nightmares for you; its scars will haunt you even in the day. It does not matter whether you are single or married, all that matters is what you really need.
