1. Be Proud of Taking Care of Yourself

Some women rely on their boyfriends and husbands to pay for their meals and to cook them dinner. That's why you should be proud of the fact that you're able to take care of yourself. You don't need another person to help you succeed in life. You're entirely capable of getting by on your own.

2. Be Proud of Refusing to Settle

If you really wanted a boyfriend of your own, then you could find a man on the street who would be willing to call you his girlfriend. Of course, you have too much respect for yourself to settle for any old guy. You know that the only reason to be in a relationship is because you've found someone that is worth dating. Otherwise, you'll stay single.

3. Be Proud of Focusing on Other Areas of Life

When you have a boyfriend, you have to spend a decent chunk of your time with him if you want to have a healthy relationship. However, since you're single, you should have a little more free time that you can spend working hard in class and at your job.

4. Be Proud of Not Letting Society Tell You What's "Right"

For some reason, society tricks us into believing that a woman is more valuable when she's desirable. Of course, you know that that's not true. You should be proud of the fact that you're walking around single instead of desperately searching for a man. You don't need a guy to help you see your worth. You already see it.

5. Be Proud of Being Comfortable Alone

Some people feel incredibly uncomfortable when they're left alone. However, you're one of the people who are able to be left alone with their thoughts. Since, at the end of the day, you're really the only person that you can rely on, it's healthy to spend quality time with yourself. You don't need another person around in order to feel complete.

6. Be Proud of Not Being Desperate

If you were desperate, you would be able to find someone to date in a jiffy. However, you should be proud of the fact that you're not willing to stoop to a low level in order to find love. You know that your dignity is much more important than your relationship status.

7. Be Proud of Knowing There's More to Life

Relationships aren't the be all, end all. Having friends and family that you can spend time with are just as important (or even more important) as having a boyfriend. Of course, your career, your pets, and your hobbies are also important. You know that firsthand.

There's no reason to waste time wishing you were in a relationship, because you should be proud of your single status. Are you happy with your love life?
