I am 27 and happy being single.
I have been in several relationships and dated a number of girls but after my two year relationship with my best friend ended horribly I found myself happy being single.
I feel like I am too selfish to be with someone and don't have the energy to make it last. I use to feel lonely not having someone and was very emotional whenever someone I liked didn't like me back or found someone else. But I began enjoying my freedom, being able to see and speak to whoever I want and not worry about anyone's emotions. I don't see relationships as the 'happy ever after' everyone makes it out to be. It's continuous hard work and constant compromises for each other. I admit this is something I struggled with in other relationships and could not maintain for the rest of my life.
However, I find myself missing ex girlfriends on occasions and wish I had made things work. I fantasize about the things we could've done and how my life would be better. This is u healthy and am aware these are minor phases that will pass but they hurt me a lot when I do experience them and it changes my perspective on myself to make me feel worse about myself.
I am not very sociable, my social skills are very inadequate and don't have the most attractive personality for women (immature, no goals, daydreamer, enjoying my own company) and I can admit and feel ok about these qualities.
But I do miss my ex (it varies) especially one in particular. She was very independent and adventurous with vacations abroad and working towards a career as a doctor. I feel like I wasted my greatest potential be sure I did not come out my shell and my unhealthy mindset kept me from dedicating any energy towards her. Plus we dated before then but she made no effort and Didnt care about making me feel unworthy for her, maybe this played a part in my recent relationship with her.
I know it's just a phase and it'll pass but I wish it would stop just so I can live out my life and be happy with the way it is.

You might not be ready for a serious relationship. If you enjoy your freedom then be that way till you feel you are ready to get into a relationship. You might be missing your exes since they are no more with you. But if they are back, there are chances that you might again crave for your freedom. Just take some time off.
