The Naked Truth | How to self-partner, why Emma Watson and other celebrities have joined the movement, and the benefits of being your own better half
- Self-partnering allows one to put greater focus on personal goals and growth, a new mindset of unattached existence that is growing in popularity
- If fears of loneliness arise, you can reframe the time you spend on yourself as ‘being with me’ rather than ‘being alone’, a life coach says
More people are foregoing committed relationships or refusing to be romantically attached. Instead of spending time on multiple dating apps and risking a bad date, people are capitalising on their value as fun, attractive and successful individuals.
Singlehood is no longer viewed as something to be ashamed of, and the “single positivity movement” is growing in the West as people are opting for self-growth.
This new mindset of unattached existence, positively branded as “self-partnership”, has grown in popularity among the young generation who view singlehood as an empowering choice rather than a social disadvantage.
British actress Emma Watson, among many other Hollywood celebrities, has joined the much-celebrated cause to reframe the formerly negative status of “single”.
Shedding the traditional label of singlehood has allowed people to reclaim themselves in their own right and learn to love their own company, even if they don’t have a partner. Being in this modern state of singledom allows one to put greater focus on personal goals and growth.
In many respects, self-partnership is seen as a positive development, but only if you have done the proper “groundwork” to get there.
