Singletcis

Singletcis is a term that emerged within online communities, particularly on platforms like Reddit, to describe individuals who express a strong preference for being single, often with an emphasis on self-reliance and contentment with their solitary status. It is distinct from simply being single, as it implies an active choice and positive framing of a single lifestyle. Those who identify with or discuss singletcis often highlight perceived benefits such as increased personal freedom, opportunities for self-discovery, and the avoidance of relationship complexities or perceived societal pressures.

The concept can be seen as a form of romantic orientation or a lifestyle choice, depending on the context and individual interpretation. It is not officially recognized as a distinct orientation by mainstream psychology or sociology but is a notable development in the evolving discourse around relationships and individual identity in the digital age. Discussions around singletcis often touch upon themes of independence, personal growth, and the rejection of traditional relationship milestones as mandatory for happiness. The term itself is a portmanteau, combining "single" with the suffix "-cis," often used in gender identity discussions to denote alignment with a societal norm, though in this context, it signifies an alignment with the societal norm of being single rather than partnered.
