For plenty of people, being single is a choice - and not something they're too bothered about changing.
However, for others, they wish they could go out and find love - but, for one reason or another, there's something holding them back.
Dozens of people have taken to secret sharing site Whisper to confess the real reasons they're single - including having STDs and being a selfish lover, according to Daily Mail.

Some, like the girl who believes she's not skinny enough for men to date, may make you take pity on the person.
