Satisfied Staying Single Day

Family obligations, constant hustle, and responsibilities aren’t for everyone. Some people prefer living without commitments to others and enjoy solitude. Satisfied Staying Single Day was created for this group, and those who have recently ended a relationship or taken a break from romance are welcome to join in, too.

History

While there are many holidays dedicated to family and love, there weren’t any for people who embrace the single life—until recently. There’s nothing wrong with being alone. Some dancers and figure skaters perform solo all their lives, and that never diminishes their brilliance or beauty.

Some people simply aren’t comfortable with another person’s presence for extended periods. They thrive on solitude. While this may seem odd to some, confirmed singles don’t judge married couples. The most important thing is comfort—following your heart, not societal expectations. People with complex personalities or high standards may have a hard time finding a suitable match, so they often choose to remain single.

Interesting Facts

• Even in marriage, over 60% of people report feeling lonely at times.

• Recent studies show that about 40% of people worldwide have experienced loneliness at some point in their lives.
• Scientists have discovered that loneliness can actually be contagious.

How to Take Part

Dedicate this day to yourself. Let go of family obligations and responsibilities for a while—go for a walk, catch a movie, visit a spa, or send family members out and enjoy some alone time.

You can also host a party for all your single friends. A lively gathering is a perfect way to celebrate Satisfied Staying Single Day!
