if you’ve never been in a relationship, watch this (2025)

POV: You’ve never had a relationship :’)

It’s easy to let your mind wander into an endless daydream—what it would feel like, the experiences you’re “missing out on,” or how life would be so much better if you just had someone.

Over the years, I’ve caught myself creating problems that don’t exist and asking self-critical questions like...
What’s wrong with me?
Why haven’t I found anyone yet?

But here’s the truth I’ve learned:

Not all relationships are created equal, and being single is better than settling for something less than what you deserve.

I’ve met people who stayed in relationships out of boredom or fear of being alone, and I’ve seen how unhappy that path can be. I know how easy it is to feel like there’s something “wrong” with you for being single, especially when society constantly questions it.

But honestly? There’s nothing wrong with choosing yourself, waiting for the right person, or just enjoying your own company.

In this video, I dive into why being single isn’t a flaw but a choice that can be empowering. I explore how self-critical questions lead to self-critical answers and how we can ask better questions to build self-love.

I also talk about the fear of settling, the importance of healthy standards, and why being single can often be better than being in a relationship for the wrong reasons.

So, if you’ve ever felt the weight of being single or struggled with the fear of settling, this one’s for you. Let’s reframe how we look at relationships and learn to ask ourselves: Why am I lovable? and Why is it okay to be exactly where I am?
