单身狗，闭上你的鸟嘴！
“我宁愿做蕾丝，也不找男人了”
...
你别说你没有听到过周围单身人士这样的抱怨。
来自美帝的Jessica早就受不了她周围单身朋友的各种牢骚了，今天Scott总结了一下她的自述：
「我真的受够了那些单身女孩整天的抱怨，我知道从一个恋爱这么久的人嘴里说出来，有点“站着说话不腰疼”的感觉，但我没有恶意，我是本着帮助你的心来说的。因为我觉得，你老是抱怨下面这些事情，对你是有害的。」
11 things you have to stop complaining about if you’re single
如果你单身的话，这11件事，你可得停止抱怨了
Every guy in the world sucks.
世界上的男人没一个好东西
如果你刚刚结束了一段感情，想大喊一声：“男生不是东西！”，那么就喊出来。
But if you’re that girl on my Facebook Newsfeed who spends her life composing lengthy statuses about how much guys suck, then please stop.
但是你如果跟我那个Facebook上的女生一样，每天就发一些长篇的状态，说男生有多么遭，停停吧！
Do you know what I think when I see dudes whining, “Where have all the nice girls gone?”
I think, “Wow, that is exactly why he’s single.”
你造吗，我听到男生抱怨：“好女生都跑哪里去了？”
我会想：“难怪你单着”。
So take a guess as to what people think when you do it.
所以，当你这样说的时候，别人会怎么想，可想而知。
Saying that every dude out there is the worst just because you met a few guys who weren’t great is dramatic, and also pretty unfair.
仅仅因为你遇到几个不咋地的，就说每个男生都渣，是非常不公平的。
Guys suck so much, you’re going to become a lesbian.
男生简直太差劲了，我宁愿去做一个蕾丝
▲“喂，你好，我想申请当同志”
How many times have you heard a girl say something like, “Wow, men are the worst. I’m done with them. It would be so much easier to be a lesbian!”
你听过多少次女生说：“男生太差劲了，我简直受够了。我要是个蕾丝那该多好啊！”
呃，你知道这有多荒唐吗。想想看这句话要是一个真的蕾丝听到是啥感觉？
Also, what you’re saying doesn’t make sense, because if you think girls are easier to deal with than guys, you’re wrong.
还有最说不通的是：你如果觉得女生比男生相处起来要容易一些，那你就大错特错了！
Your coupled up friends are literally so boring.
你那些谈恋爱的朋友是有多么无趣
I have some single friends who are always like, “OMG everyone in a relationship is so boring. Except you, of course! You’re not boring!”
我有些单身朋友总是：“天哪，这人恋爱之后，就变得好无趣哦。但除了你，你挺有趣的！”
Um, okay. I know that saying stuff like this is just the way a lonely person is trying to make themselves feel better, but I’ve never been with cool with the idea of putting others down to lift yourself up.
呃，好吧， 我知道有些孤单的人这样说话只是为了让自己感觉好受一些，但是对于那种把别人整不愉快来让自己high的行为，我从来不接受。
是的，也许你的朋友开始和男生约会了，然后她不再像以前那样整天泡夜店了。你可能会想念曾经那个她，但是人是会变的，你也要学会跟着变。
尝试着多了解下她，尊重她的改变，不要因为你的嫉妒而去嘲笑她。
You can’t trust anyone anymore because of how you’ve been treated by someone, so actually, you’ll just never love again.
因为你的遭遇，你不能相信任何人任何事。
所以，你永远不会再爱了。
▲“你千万不能相信任何人，千万”
When I was single, I used to say things like, “OMG I will literally never trust anyone ever again. Guys have ruined trust for me.”
我单身的时候，我经常说：“天哪，我永远也不要相信任何人了，男生简直毁灭了我的信任”
Now I literally cringe when I think about that.
现在想起来，我都寒颤。
What do you think is happening when you tell the world how your exes have made you never be able to trust anyone? Do you think your ex sees that and feels bad about himself?
你觉得如果你前任知道他把你变成这样之后，会怎样？他会感到内疚吗？
Honestly, he probably doesn’t. He probably sees it and considers the power he had over you that is now changing the way you see everyone else. Is that what you want? I doubt it.
事实上，他多半不会内疚。他会觉得他的影响力改变了你对周围其他人的看法。这是你想要的吗？我严重怀疑。
Every single person you’ve been with lately and all of your exes are huge jerks.
你最近遇到的单身狗，还有你所有的ex，都是混蛋！
▲“你余生都要记得去恨男人哦”
I know that when someone has hurt you, you automatically feel that you want to say bad things about them because it’s a defense mechanism.
我知道，当有人伤了你，你会自动去说他的坏话，因为这只是个防御机制。
But when you really look at the situation, I’m sure that those people aren’t as bad as you’re saying they were. Sometimes things just don’t work out! Sometimes people get hurt because of it. That doesn’t mean they’re horrible.
但是你自己看一下情况，我肯定这些人没有你说得那么的坏。有时候，仅仅就是不合适！有些人会因此受伤，但这并不意味着， 他们十恶不赦。
Relationships are the worst and you’re happy you’re not in one, haha look at those loser couples!
恋爱是最糟的事，幸好我没谈。哈哈，你看那些恋爱的屌丝们！
Again, why do you need to put others down to make yourself feel better?
又是这个，为什么你需要把别人贬低，来让自己感觉好受些？
Your friends in relationships never make enough time for you anymore.
你那些恋爱的朋友，对你总是没时间。
你的朋友谈恋爱了之后，对你就没多少时间了，我有这个经历，你也可以感到沮丧。
But at the same time, try to understand. When you start dating someone, your life changes a little, and so do your priorities.
但同时，你要理解，当你开始一段感情，你的生活也会变化，你会先做对你来说更重要的事情。
It’s normal and while it may be unfair, it’s something you eventually need to accept.
这很正常，可能不公平，但是这是你最终需要接受的事实。
If your friend completely blows you off, that’s not right. But if it’s just that she can’t be around as often as she once was, but still tries to make time for you, cut her some slack.
如果你朋友完全忽略你，那就是他不对了。但是仅仅是因为她不能像之前那样和你一起玩了，但仍然会抽时间陪你，给她点空间吧！
How much it sucks to be the third wheel.
当电灯泡是有多么糟！
If you don’t like to be third wheel, here’s what you can do: don’t go out with couples. Or, stop caring about being a third wheel, and instead focus on having a good time. It’s not the end of the world.
你如果不喜欢当电灯泡，这是你能做的：不要和那些情侣出去耍！或者，不要对当电灯泡这么care，把注意力集中在怎么玩得高兴上，这不是世界末日！
How much you hate Valentine’s Day, and every other holiday, actually.
你是有多么恨情人节，和其他各种节。
▲“一想到爱情，我就想吐”
Stop ruining holidays for yourself because you’re so focused on how single you are. You can still have a good time even if you don’t have a significant other.
不要因为你把注意力放到自己单身这个点上， 就毁掉自己过节。单身也是可以玩得高兴的啊。
But you definitely can’t have a good time if you are only thinking about how you’re alone. What’s the point of doing that?
但是如果你一直把注意力放到“单身”上面，那你可定是玩不好了，这又有什么意义呢？
You are sooooo bored of hearing about your friend’s relationships.
听到朋友的恋爱，听得超超超超级厌烦
我受不了听到单身的人抱怨，谈论男朋友是有多无聊。
换位思考，“我也受够了你整天抱怨单身”！
If your friend is talking about her BF or GF, try to be an actual friend and listen to her happiness instead of making fun of her.
如果你的朋友在说ta的男朋友或女朋友，尝试去做一个真正的朋友，相比去嘲笑ta，你去听听ta的快乐吧！
You must be doing SOMETHING wrong because why doesn’t anyone want to date you?!?!
你一定是哪里做错了，所以没有人来约你？！
▲“我知道没人喜欢我”
Saying stuff like this makes people uncomfortable. It also makes you look insecure.
说这些话，真的会让其他人不爽，这也会让你看起来没安全感。
And listen, you’re probably really amazing.
听着，你很有可能非常优秀。
You’re doing yourself a disservice by putting yourself down just because some people don’t want to date you.
但是你因为某些人没来撩你，你就沮丧， 这等于自残。
Be confident! Stop focusing on what they think.
自信些，别去鸟别人怎么想。
Yeah, it’s easier said than done, but putting yourself down like this just comes off whiney and frustrating.
我知道，这事说起来比做起容易，但是你这样贬低自己只会让你更沮丧，更多抱怨。
