I don't find singlehood embarrassing at all. If anything, it makes you emotionally aware of what you need in life to be happy.
When I see a lot of failed marriages and how miserable some are in their marriage, I feel blessed to be single.
And being single doesn't mean you are living without love. You live with love when you give that love to others (family or friends) and yourself.
The problem is that we have been brainwashed to feel incomplete without a partner.
