I'm of the female gender and 17 years of age. I'm not ashamed to say I'm single and still a virgin. I was in a relationship that was emotionally hell bent and at the moment, I'm learning to love myself. Initially, before I got involved in a relationship, my biggest fear was being alone and feeling isolated. After the relationship, I had an epiphany that being emotionally reliant on others isn’t always the best choice. But with a controversial view, I can note that I shouldn’t always be afraid to take a risk in love when it comes my way and should freely embrace what approaches me. Although, fortunately right now I’m content with being independent so if you’re currently on a trail of thought of being nervous about being single. I don’t see being single as bad, because it gives me an opportunity to indulge in my options. However, a social opinion I am aware of is that relationships give you this socially elite status because of your emotional commitment to someone. Don’t feel crushed by it, you don’t always have to have your peaks in life with others. Try staying alone for a while and seeing what you can achieve as an individual. Just have faith in what will be, as will I.
