Absolutely. Before my second relationship I took this mind set and didn't rely on someone else for my value and THEN dated this guy and I've been with him ever since and it's be great.
If you can be happy single and believe you are amazing, you are there! You won't be relying the person for your confidence and how u feel about yourself, and you would know if they go or treated u bad,you can be by yourself and happy!
No. If you can be happy on your own, you don't have to rely on another person to provide you happiness and therefore don't blame them when you become unhappy.
I think one of the big signs of something being wrong internally is not being able to be happy with yourself alone- making someone else solely responsible for your happiness and contentment is a huge burden on them. It also seems it would cause big ups and downs- minor fights would have much bigger consequences if that was all your happiness gone.
You obviously haven't reached the stage where you are truly happy with yourself and I would recommend not inflicting yourself on someone else just yet.
I know it means "Make sure you don't depend on someone else for happiness", but I still honestly hate this advice. I want to have someone to depend on when I can't be happy anymore. Someone who is willing to help me back up and to be my support when the happiness cuts off. Do you know how difficult it is for me to be 100% content with everything, able to provide happiness for myself no matter what? Very difficult.
I've been alone for a while, and I hate it. The joy of singleness has a bad tendency to trickle out pretty quick.
