Singlehood presents various experiences, influenced by societal expectations and personal circumstances. A study indicated that perspectives on being single can vary significantly. Many feel societal pressures regarding the 'right' age to seek relationships. A participant noted that entering a full-time job often triggers societal expectations to end singlehood. Additionally, attachment styles play a critical role in how individuals experience being single; about 78 percent of single adults exhibit insecure attachment, impacting feelings of worthiness and emotional connection.
"Especially in the cultural background I come from, I would say as soon as you finish what you think is education; it could be a bachelor's or a master's, and then the second you go into a full-time job, then all of a sudden there's a switch, then you should be actively looking to end your singlehood."
"Recent research shows that about 78 percent of single adults tend to have an insecure attachment style, which is often characterized by either a strong need for reassurance or hyper-independence and a fear of vulnerability, abandonment, and rejection."
