If you’re single or alone during Christmas, you might feel like you’re the odd one out.

You may think that there’s something wrong with you, or that you’re somehow less valuable than other people.

Here’s the thing: that’s all bullshit.

Think about all those people surrounded by family and loved ones during Christmas.

There’s a secret they’re not telling you: for a large majority of them, this is the most stressful month of the year.

They fucking hate it.

And it’s all because of Christmas.

People who are single and don’t have anyone forcing them into obligations around Christmas actually have a much less stressful month than everyone else.

So, don’t feel too down that you’re by yourself, because actually, December is probably better for you than it is for everyone else.
