Single Stress

Can you trust surveys? Well the latest, yet again, is that people live longer, happier and suffer from less stress, if their with a partner. However in my experience living with someone that doesn't satisfy you own particular needs, can be far lonelier than living on your own. Everyone has different priorities in life. Some people crave financial security, some a better place to live, some a decent holiday but above all else we all want 'happiness'. But then you have to ask yourself what really would make you happy. Would it be to have any of the above or to actually find your soul mate. Stress shared is easier when you have someone close to you to talk about things.

Stress as we now know can even cause serious illnesses. It has to be the number one problem of our modern day society. With our conventional family status eroding very quickly nowadays, is it any wonder that for those that are living on their own, which is getting to mega proportions, do suffer more stress related problems?

However, friends are even more important to singles now and valuing them has never been greater. The old saying that partners can come and go but friends are there forever is so true.
So why not go out today and find a new friend. It's not hard. They could be anywhere. People in Britain don't openly talk to strangers so much as perhaps continentals do. But just try it - I've been experimenting lately and if you can make the first move to open conversation, then usually the other person is very pleased to be able to chat.

So take the stress out of being a single, living on your own and expand your friends.
