It's Not You
It's Not You: 27 (Wrong) Reasons You're Single | Sara Eckel
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Why am I still single? If youre single and searching, theres no end to other peoples explanations, excuses, and criticism explaining why you havent found a partner: Youre too picky. Just find a good-enough guy and youll be fine. Youre too desperate. If men think you need them, theyll run scared. Youre too independent. Smart, ambitious women always have a harder time finding mates. You have low self-esteem. You cant love someone else until youve learned to love yourself. Youre too needy. You cant be happy in a relationship until youve learned to be happy on your own. Based on one of the most popular Modern Love columns of the last decade, Sara Eckels Its Not You challenges these myths, encouraging singletons to stop picking apart their personalities and to start tapping into their own wisdom about who and what is right for them. Supported by the latest psychological and sociological research, as well as interviews with people who have experienced longtime singledom, Eckel creates a strong and empowering argument to understand and accept that theres no one reason why youre singleyou just are.

April has been a long year and some shitty things have happened that have set me back, but I remembered my bestie bought me this book long ago! I needed something to feel strong again, to accept myself for who I am, and this book is chapter after chapter of ‘you are you, and that is beautiful.‘

I‘m not a huge advocate for self-help books but lately I‘m loving the more real, less scientific ones.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nute Sometimes we need a reminder of the strength that is contained within us. I hope that this post finds you well!💕 4y

Of the four books I was reading, NONE of them was holding my attention. I know it can't be the books' fault, but I am scrapping them all and starting over because I am just so frustrated. I don't know what is wrong with me. I would love suggestions. I am usually not this moody.

Owlizabeth When I feel like that, I usually turn to a “comfort” read, reread a favorite just to get back in the swing of reading something I love. Hope this helps! And you find your perfect book!! 5y

Took this quiz today. But, this description is SO wrong. I NEVER dog-ear pages, don't like cracked spines & my books are loved and treated well.

Laura317 I got the same as you! I don't do those either. I call foul!! 7y
LauraBrook @Read4life @Laura317 Same here, and it's only true if today is Opposite Day. Those poor, poor books! 7y
Lreads I also got Book Buster. 😒 Something must be wrong with their quiz! 7y

TheBookAddict @ReadsWithTea I agree with you, there must be something wrong with it. I got the same results and I don't do those things. (edited) 7y
DebinHawaii I got "Itinerant Book Borrower"--I agree with loving to borrow books & not being able to read them fast enough & having so many to-reads at home--but I disagree with forgetting to return my friends books--I always return borrowed books--friends & library on time even if not always read. ? 7y
booksandsympathy Mine says I'm a scattered dabbler who doesn't finish her books. That's not true at all. 7y
drokka I got 'Scattered Dabbler'. For a publishing house they seem to have a pretty myopic view of readers. 7y
