Why are so many of us afraid of being single? Is it biological? Is it societal? Or both?
In this episode of Last Year of Single, Dr Anna Machin, evolutionary anthropologist and love researcher reveals the real reasons behind our fear of singlehood. Dr Machin dives into the science and psychology of love, connection, and independence; and how our cultural expectations play into how we see ourselves when we’re single.
Sreemoyee Piu Kundu, the Carrie Bradshaw of India, describes her experience of being a single woman in India.
You’ll hear about:
\t•\tWhat drives us to want a romantic partner
\t•\tHow culture and society shape our fears around being single
\t•\tThe role of dopamine, serotonin and beta endorphins play in our love life
\t•\tHow to feel love chemicals in our every day lives
\t•\tThe reality of single women living in India
If you’ve ever wondered why being single can feel scary, even when you’re thriving, this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and a new perspective.
