How to be happy on my own
It made me
happy
 "I am happy being single :) "
How I did it: Moving into my own house back in September 2008 when myself and my husband separated was a very daunting task for me, having lived with him for the past 5 and a half years, I had to get used to living on my own (I do live 90% of the time with my now 4 1/2 year old son). Lessons & tips: Have a good support network, whether in person or online. It won't always be easy, but knowing you have a safety net to fall back into is not only important, it's crucial.

How I did it: I had broken up with my girlfriend for the 2nd time and was feeling a little depressed, so I left town, got a new job, took up a couple of new hobbies, made new friends, and become a better person. It was by occupying my time and getting a lovable dog that allowed me to be happy with myself more than ever! Read how I did it…

I have been running around like crazy to get over my ex. And it worked! I had always been dependant on him… he fixed my apt, he took me to my storage, he gave me advice on finance/job and everything….
I went to storage by myself last weekend… yes it sucked that I had to bring all my stuff and take bus/taxi… yes it sucked that I had to move all the heavy stuff by myself but I did it… It was exhausting but I am glad to learn that I can do it by myself…
I also started to deal with the difficult situation on my job without consulting anyone and felt great!
I still miss him very much but I feel much better now and I think I am closer and closer to my goal!

I just had a break up and I am totally heart broken. I want to learn that it’s okay to be happy on my own, with man or without man so I don’t repy on the other people’s reactions to be happy

I am a generally happy person. But from time to time, people’s behaviors can really affect my mood. I have to learn not to influenced by other people and just be happy for myself.

Trying to remind myself that there must have been people at the Christmas party that wished they were there alone, rather than with their partner. Hard being the 25th wheel.

I can do what I want when I want.
I can buy what I want.
I can eat what I want.
I can put stuff away on my own time.

I have good friends, but I always feel like a 3rd wheel with couple friends and the older I get, the more there are.

funny how i'm selfish, but not enough?

so i have just realized that i can be pretty selfish in a relationship, and slightly controlling. but i think a lot of that spurs from me not remembering how to be single and happy on my own. i feel like i’ve lost myself somewhere in the past year. i just feel so happy and content when i’m physically with my boyfriend… and when i’m not, i feel more numb. i mean, when i’m with friends and family, i feel happy and content… the real problem is when i’m all alone. by myself. i start to feel lonely… not independent. and i think it’s because i forget what makes me happy in life, besides others.
it would be a great accomplishment for me… but i don’t know if i have the will-power to do it.
