The Truth About Being Single at Weddings and Events

Going to weddings, parties, or events alone can bring up unexpected emotions, especially when it feels like everyone else is moving into the next chapter of life. In this episode, Carla Romo talks about the pressure of being single in spaces that often highlight relationships, and why having no plus one can sometimes trigger feelings of loneliness, comparison, or feeling left behind. Carla breaks down how societal expectations can shape the way we view being single and why your relationship status does not determine your worth or happiness. She shares how shifting your mindset, practicing self-love, and focusing on your own journey can help you enjoy your life without feeling like you're waiting for someone else to complete it. Carla also explores the difference between missing a partner and missing intimacy, connection, or physical closeness. She reminds listeners that wanting love, sex, or companionship is completely human - but those desires do not define your value or mean something is missing from you. **What You'll Learn** - Feeling lonely while single is normal and does not mean you are behind. - Comparison can take away from experiences you could enjoy in the present. - Your happiness is not dependent on having a relationship. - Mindset shifts can change how you experience being alone. - Missing intimacy is different from needing a partner to feel whole. - Social expectations can create unnecessary pressure around relationships. - Self-worth comes from your relationship with yourself, not your relationship status. **Work with me**:  1:1 Coaching program Ask Me Anything - 30 Min Session Dating Profile Makeover - 30 Min Session **Proven Dating Courses**: Swipe Match Spark: The Ultimate Dating App Guide No Filter: The Sex Guide Every Dater Needs **Book**: Contagious Love: Break Free From Codependency for Damn Good **Tiktok**: @iamcarlaromo  **Instagram**: @iamcarlaromo **Youtube**: @iamcarlaromo **FREEBIE**: 20 Best First and Second Date Questions **Rate, Review, & Follow, Carla Turned On** **Sound Bites** - "It's really about feeling left behind." - "Just because someone is in a relationship doesn't mean they're happy." - "Your mind is so powerful, it can rewire to positivity." **Chapters** 02:02 — No Plus One?
