The 5 Reasons Why You’re Single and Miserable

2. You’re Still Stuck on Your Ex

Denial, denial, denial. You assure everyone that you are over your ex, but it’s about time to face the music and admit it: you’re still hung up on him/her.  The fact is that you will continue being single unless you really put yourself to the hard work that recovering from a breakup involves. Chances are that you aren’t going the extra mile with anyone because you’re still thinking about your past lover. Moreover, memories tend to be idealized, so you’re probably comparing every single person that comes your way to a romanticized version of your ex, which no one can live up to. Even if no one in the world is truly as good as your ex, the fact is your ex is gone. It’s time to stop living in the past, get over them and move on.
