I’m 40 years old single and never married. I retired when i was 37 (early retirement). I’ve been through some serious relationship. Pero totoo ang sinabi ni Tom Hardy “Being alone for a while is dangerous. Its addicting, Once you see how peaceful it is, you dont want to deal with people anymore” I’m single, happy and confident sa buhay. Only introverts will understand. Happy Valentines everybody 🎉.

[@RoroTVKorea]

Yan ang kitakatakutan ko. Sobrang na eenjoy ko na yung pagiging mag-isa. Sobrang peaceful

Single blessedness is hpw you call it. I am 62 and single. There are times when I have been asked if I am not afraid of growing old by myself. Staying single is a choice and as you grow older napapaghandaan mo na ang tumanda ng mag-isa. But I have friends na hanggang sa pagtanda ay kasama ko pa din. I also have nephews and nieces who comes and visits me at home. Most of all I have God by my side who always keeps me company, spiritually. I am happy this way. 😊

My neighbour is a 90 y.o. strong and cheery granny who has never been married or is single all her life. I'm turning 40 this year and the introverted me consider her as one of my chummies. That said, she looks very young for her age (per my judgment and this is relative of course, she looks only 60). Although she has had a hard life (worked as a cleaner and hotel chambermaid in the UK since the mid-60s), she never did any vices and never experienced the stresses of being in a marital relationship and having/raising kids. With all that's said, yes, you can be happy if you're single and though no man is an island, that doesn't mean the island has to be a partner or a wife/husband. The island can be in the form of a devoted friend or kin, or even pet.

Being single is a choice. YES we can be happy even if we are single. Nakadepende sa tao kung ano ang definition niya sa "HAPPY". I am 40, single and NBSB. There was a time na may pressure sa family at society, kasama na ang fear na tumanda nang mag-isa. But sa pagdaan na panahon malalampasan mo ang pressure at anxiety. Ang pagtanda mag-isa, mapaghahandaan. Being single is a God's gift. Sa hirap nang buhay ngayon at sa mahal nang bigas, gas at tuition mas mabuti ang maging single. " Ang buhay nang isang single ay kay saya." I love being single.

18:37 kudos to Atom and GMA for the opportunity for women like her, who are breaking gender stereotypes, to be heard. I am glad that women in the Philippines are also breaking out of the box that society imposed upon us. That women are made to be at home, have kids, serve their family, and pleasure their husbands. Being childless, career-oriented, and single means there is something "WRONG" with you and you have to be put in your place - inside the box. My challenge to Atom and GMA is to talk about another trend that is breaking the outdated social norms - couples who have embraced the dual income-no kids (DINKS) lifestyle. The choice to be a childless couple is a decision between the 2 people involved, yet society aims their wrath and moral judgment on the woman. Again, kudos to this progressive channel.

I love being alone wala kang iisipin kahit ano gawin at kahit saan pumunta. Hindi mo kailangan mag alala o magmadali umuwi. Masarap maging malaya.

Medyo ok pa ako sa Single vs. Society. Yung Single vs. your own Family, yun ang toxic. Yun sasabihin “pagbigyan mo na kapatid mo, mahirap buhay ng may anak. Single ka naman wala ka naman pinag gastusan.”

[@brightgail]

Living here in europe , marerealize mo na very normal kumain mag isa, walking sa park mag isa , watching cinema or kahit ano pang activities. Walang thinking na kawawa or miserable ka. Yung mga family reunion talaga sa pinas ang deadly for single people, super pressure at endless question ng “kailan ka mag-aasawa?” to the point na toxic na.

[@gilbertafalla5452]

Empowering ang magisa na nag eenjoy sa sarili. Nasaktan ako sa 6 years asin malala. Diskaril nang bongga. Pero nung na realize ko na masaya naman pala magisa, ssoooo empowering. LIBERRRAAATTTTIIINNGGGG

I'm in my early 50's, single, joyful, and blessed. You're not human if you don't feel some level of fear of being alone. But when you truly know who our God is, fear will take a backseat for pure joy to take over. For it is His promise to take care of us and never abandon us. "I have carried you since you were born; I have taken care of you from your birth. Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you. I made you and will take care of you," says the LORD. -- ISAIAH 46:3-4 (NCV)

I can hangout alone, I can go wherever i want to go. Since working overseas I use to it to be alone, eating, shopping, go to church, exercise in the park, playing in the archade. I choose to be happy alone.

[@lorenzopacho936]

Masaya pa rin, kahit single. Kumakain ako na mag-isa. Nagka-kape ako na mag-isa. Nanonood ako ng movie na mag-isa. Nagba-bike na mag-isa. Pumapasyal ako sa Manila (Intramuros, Escolta at Binondo) na mag-isa. Okay naman ako at masaya pa rin. I think hindi lang dahil introvert ako. Ang gusto ko sa being single ay may sarili akong oras.

[@mindayu3224]

grabe naman maka undas ako matagal ng singel pero happy naman ako. marami ako kilala sa takot maging single ayun puro sakit ng ulo inabot baka sila ang maundas pag sila nautas sa kunsimisyon. isa diyan finacilay support niya yung isa at end ayun may iba pala ang labas nganga

[@JasonNazamRN]

Hindi ako introvert pero I'm okay being single kasi hindi talaga ako yung tao na nabiyayaan ng magandang relasyon Masaya naman maging single lalo kung mahal mo sarili mo. .nakakapamasyal ka sa abroad mag isa nagagawa mo lahat ng gusto mo Then habang tumatanda ka. .nakakaramdam ka ng peace of mind vs. Sa nasa relasyon nga ako pero hawak ako sa leeg, pero di ka naman mahal talaga.

A confident man, don’t mind to enjoy things by himself. Walng kulang kc he’s confident sa sarili.

[@cleangoblin2021]

Thanks. Wala naman kailangan patunayan. Yung iba, nag aasawa para pagtakpan pagka tao nila. Mahirap din.

Good job idol Atom ang cute ng segment na ito ❤ good job sa writers niyo ❤

[@fullname301]

A new era of documentaries from I-Witness. Gone are the days that the themes are somewhat not catchy to the public. It's authentic and exciting.

[@georgeregla5512]

Ganda documentary ni atom

[@wenchy387]

with or without a relationship, nag e-enjoy ako mag isa….like, i travel alone, i go to the mall alone and eat out alone, watch a movie alone. ang importante ay masaya ka na ginagawa ang mga iyon ng mag isa.

[@Abywaiting4you]

Ang pogi pogi talaga ni Sir Atom!😍

[@vinbarroTV]

bata palang ako mag isa na ako may pagka introvert ako pero masaya ako sa family na meron ako,madali ako magalit sa mga anak ko kasi magugulo sila madalas mag away,isa yun sa nag triger ng galit ko dahil mas gusto ko ang katahimikan pero kaylangan ko mag adjust kasi mahal ko sila.Kaya sa mga katulad ko sana maranasan nyo rin ang mahalin at mag mahal mahirap mag isa kasi sa isip natin ay naka fix na ang maging masaya kahit single.pero sa tutoo lang masarap yung may kausap masarap yung alam mo na may karamay ka at tangap ka siguro pinalad lang ako dahil nakilala ko ang asawa ko tangap nya ang ugali ko.Sana po mkahanap din kayo ng tao mkksama nyo sa pag tanda

[@bernzmillan2464]

Pwede bang maging "Masaya Kahit Single Ka?" Of Course Yes!

Masarap mag isa walang problema parang kung saan lang trip mo go lang at makakafocus ka sa mga trip mong gawin sa life lalo na mga dreams mo.

Gwapo ni ATOM❤

Mukhang nagbubuhat. Ang laki ng braso noong naka-t-shirt lang siya.

[@jemapellelovely2703]

Been single my "entire life" and I'm turning 31 this year. I've done so many things alone and I'm okay with it. My parents never really pressured me & my siblings to settle down na kasi we're still busy with our respective careers & stuffs. We still have other plans to make ourselves better especially in the financial aspect of it. And besides, I am not keen on having kids, so there's that. There are times lang talaga na you want to have someone to talk to na hindi family or friends. In short, longing for a companionship. But I'm happy and I'm okay and I am enjoying it. Yan lang naman nagma-matter.

[@rolansanchez7046]

Yung mga nagsasabing kawawa yung mga kumakain mag-isa, namamasyal mag-isa ay mga taong takot mag-isa o di kayang mag-isa. Bilang introvert selective tlga ako pagdating s kasama, kaya mas enjoy ako mag-isa, hndi ko mkain s way na gusto ko yung food pag may ksama kasi nagmamadali yung ksama ko, mas gusto ko din mamasyal na ako lng kasi ayaw ko na sunod ng sunod sa ksama ko tpos di ko trip pinuntahan niya. Saka ayoko naapura ako gusto ko sini-savor ko yung moment 😂 haha kaya paanong sad mag-isa?

[@fafagreentv]

[@PapiJoshTV]

Naging single ako for 14 years masasabi ko na nag enjoy ako at naging masaya ako na mag isa naging factor din talaga yung pagiging introvert ko, pero now engaged na ako nagustuhan ko din dahil sa roller coaster na moments and emotions

[@xtinesone]

As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are - what others say is irrelevant

[@mceehammer4185]

this a good watch, i am 27 years old. never had a boyfriend, never been in a relation ship. YES! you can have fun even if you are alone or single. you have the freedom to do what ever you want without someone na nag babawal sayo. masarap maging dalaga or binata. wag nyong madaliin ang pag pasok sa isang seryosong relasyon/kasal. na pag ayaw mo na iluluwa mo nalang lahat pakatapos ng lahat. sa panahon ngayon advance na mag isip ang mga tao.they now choose peace of mind and freedom.

[@namelessone5968]

mas mahirap din maghanap ng relationship sa dating apps dahil sa dami ng options ay tumataas yung standards not knowing na majority sa users ay modified/fake yung profiles nila, mas madali din mag cut off ng tao/ yung ghosting na nakaka apekto din sa confidence ng mga nabibiktima. may limitations din kasi hanggang chat at video calls lang, iba pa rin yung nagkakakilala kayo in person.

[@markangelonotarte3355]

Bagong atake ang pinamalas ni sir Atom. Bagay ang estilo nito sa pagkukuwento sapagkat ang paksa nito ay hindi rin naman ganoon kalalalim at hindi rin naman mababaw. Nakatutuwa na ang mga tao ang naging sentro ng naratibo patungkol sa pag-ibig. Pero mas masaya sana kung si sir Atom ay nagpahayag din ng kaniyang relationship status ‘di ba? Gayunpaman, nakatulong ang dokyumentaryong ito sa mga tao na sa pagdiriwang ng Valentine’s Day, hindi requirement ang may jowa! Celebrate life your way, celebrate love your way!

[@Primex_01]

Been alone for so long. I'm afraid to admit I might be addicted to these certain kind of sadness/freedom.

[@Jowieljavier0215]

Taas ang kamay ng mga introverted dto 😊 Long life for introvert person
