How To Deal When Everyone Around You Is Getting Engaged

Sometimes it feels like you can't go a single day without another one of your Facebook friends announcing they're engaged. Sure, it's worth a congrats and is great for them, but it doesn't exactly feel great when it feels like you're the only single person in the entire world. Here are 10 tips to help you deal when you're single and everyone else in your life is getting engaged.

First things first, get off Facebook. It's the number one place to announce one and the only way to escape it is to stay away from it. No one is forcing you to scroll through it so if it's hurting your feelings or your ego, take a break.

Another important thing to remember before you get jealous of your friend's engagement is to take a realistic look at their fiancé. Are they really a catch? Would you really want to be with someone who doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're" or whose profile picture is from 2009? We didn't think so.

Instead of getting bitter and jealous, examine your own relationships, especially your current ones. It's not like you really want to be engaged to someone like your ex or the person you only text when you're drunk anyway. There's no need to be jealous.

Speaking of being bitter and jealous, it's natural, but you should still send congrats through gritted teeth. Being genuinely happy in these situations might not be easy, but try to mean it. You should be happy for your friend!

Being single can be a great thing! Be grateful you can spend your money on things other than a wedding. The average wedding in the US costs more than $30,000 - think of how many pairs of shoes/pizzas/wine that is!

Not only are weddings a ton of money, but they're also super stressful. Be happy you don't have wedding stress. The brain is totally focused on planning one 24/7 once you become engaged, and that's no way to live when there's so much else out there to think about!

If that many people are getting engaged in your life it's time to look at their weddings as great opportunities for you. Just think about all the other singles who might be there. You may just find yourself a new partner, or at least a fun fling!

With engagements popping up daily on social media, it's important to remember not to get obsessive. If you're obsessed with finding your own potential fiancé or trying to convince your current partner to propose you'll just go mad.

You're not the only person not getting engaged, so try spending time with your single friends. If anyone is going to help you deal with the bitterness, it's your fellow lonely friends.

If all the engaged people celebrating and throwing parties why can't you? Throw yourself an unengagement party. You're awesome ane free of commitment! That's worth celebrating too.
