Single at Christmas

Scroll to see replies

ughhhh, I hate christmas so much this year. Mainly due to that me and my ex (of 2 years) broke up nearly 4 months ago and Im still having huge issues getting over it. Plus, when I went out last night with my friends he decided that it would be appropriate to eat this girls face for a good 10 minutes whilst I was sat 5 feet away.
Seeing that didnt really bring me much festive cheer suprisingly haha.

Personally, I think christmas should be cancelled so I dont have to sit there on christmas day wanting to go to his house and spend time with his family & stuff.

bah, humbug!

Christmas always seems to be to the time that it hits me that a) I like someone and b) for one reason or another, nothing could possibly happen. Once two years ago, and now this year...it's getting ridiculus.

Not helped by the fact that every New Years I think...this time next year. Definitily by then.

And lo, here we are again. :rolleyes:

Being single doesn't bother me, it just pisses me off that other people are happy :mad:

This is starting to get me down now.
It's bad enough being single at the best of times but around Christmas it's horrible.
Is anyone else out there feeling like this?

Isn't this what people say around Valentine's Day?

Personally during my 27 years, I've been single 25 of my Christmases so it's no big deal.

What's horrible about it? You need to learn to enjoy being single, or you will either end up extremely depressed or with the wrong person. There's nothing wrong with being single, and your post was quite insulting.

Don't feel down, feel happy and remember the true meaning of christmas. Once thats remembered its no longer about christmas tree, presents, romantic relationships (mistletoe) as the media throws at us. The same goes for valentines day, heavily commercialised, you shouldn't have to wait for a particular day in the year to shower your other half with love, should do it all the time, and if your single turn a blind eye to all those girls carrying roses :| and heart shaped chocolate boxes...:| and couples walking hands in hands :frown:

I've been single for a while, and am very happy. I mean, I suppose sometimes I miss the closeness and everything, but I'm enjoying getting a lot of time to be able to focus on myself (i.e. getting a uni place), work, family and friends.

Same *hi5*

No, I don't feel like that at all. I'd far rather be single than in a relationship with someone I don't really care about. I'm just keeping my eye out for the right kind of person.

It can’t be worse than being single on Valentines Day

Nah I reckon it is. Xmas, New Year and Birthdays are events that actually matter. Valentines Day is just a sham, that I ignore even if I am in a relationship.

I dunno, I'd quite like a relationship, but at the same time it's not like I want to be with someone specific atm and can't be. So, I suppose it's ok, it's just different as I'm pretty used to being in a relationship, therefore to some extent probably miss it more than I actively want it as such.

Actually - I don't see the big deal. I've given up caring about what time of the year I'm single or not. Bloody hell, does it really matter. "OH noes - being single on a Tuesday is much worse than on a Friday!"

GOOD LORD. If you're single, quit coming on to TSR to moan about it and fish for some sympathy. Get out into the real world and do something about it. If you're going to sit behind a PC screen and whine about how you're single at Christmas, then OF COURSE you're going to be single because you're missing all the office parties!!

(I'm a nice guy really. I just don't get why one day of being single can be worse than another - it's all the same...)

I was planning on spending Christmas with my ex but we broke up about a month ago. The worst thing is, we had planned it all out so i'll be thinking "Oh what could of been..."

I feel your pain :smile:

If anything it is BETTER to be single at xmas than anyother time of the year. Especially if you're back home from uni. You will have family around and catch up with mates you havn't seen in a while.

To avoid making it worse, don't listen to the christmas song by Mud - Lonely This Christmas

It's a pretty depressing song for christmas in my opinion.

I agree with what loads of people have said here...it's fine being single. However, when there is a person on your mind it is not a nice feeling :frown:
