Why You Feel Like You’re Better Off Alone, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries: March 21st – April 19th

You love your independence. You don’t want to admit how nice it would feel to fall asleep in someone’s arms, because you feel like that would make you weak. You are insistent that you aren’t the marriage type anyway, so you don’t see the point in searching for a serious relationship.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

Your ex really messed with your head. They gave you baggage you are still struggling to deal with, even after all this time. Your trust issues are convincing you to stay single, because you’re not sure if you could handle another relationship right now.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

You feel like you’re better off alone because every marriage in your family has ended in divorce. You have never seen a happy couple. You aren’t sure if they exist. Monogamy seems like a foreign concept to you.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

Once upon a time, you thought you found your forever person, but they ended up breaking your heart. After the pain you went through, you aren’t sure if it’s worth it to love again. Besides, you feel like you have already found the person you were meant to spend eternity with — but you lost them.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

You feel like you’re better off alone because you have better things to do than worry about getting married by a certain age. Romance isn’t the main thing on your mind. You have a budding career. Family problems. Friends who need you. Love is on the bottom of your list of priorities.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

You feel like you’re better off alone because, believe it or not, you are actually happy being single. You don’t want to waste time wishing for a relationship. If one comes along, you aren’t going to shove it away, but you aren’t going to chase after one either. You’re in a good place right now.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

You feel like you’re better off alone because potential always seems to die after a few texts. You keep getting your hopes up over new people, waiting for them to ask you on an official date, and then they fade out of your life. You’re sick of falling for people you have never even seen face-to-face.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

You feel like you’re better off alone because you still aren’t sure what you’re looking to find. You would rather spend time on your own, discovering who you are and what you want from this world, than accidentally date the wrong people. The truth is, you’re still confused.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

You feel like you’re better off alone because there is no way for you to get hurt if you stay single. In your mind, dating is asking for trouble. You don’t want to have your heart broken, so you keep to yourself. It’s easier that way.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

You feel like you’re better off alone because you hate people. It’s rare for you to get along with someone enough to text them, let alone date them. You would rather spend your nights alone. You are more comfortable in isolation.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

You feel like you’re better off alone because it feels like no one else is looking for the same things as you. They only want sex. They only want casual. Meanwhile, you are looking for the real deal. You are looking for your forever person.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

You feel like you’re better off alone because you have surrounded yourself with other singles. People who keep telling you it’s okay to be alone. People who remind you how beautiful and intelligent you are inside. You aren’t under the impression you need a relationship to feel fulfilled, because there are so many people in your life you look up to who are still single.Â
