People who are single are happier because they are living their most authentic lives without having to worry about someone else.

I feel this take is more based on personal opinion and opinion based more than research can confirm. The article you linked is biased and you can't really depict the difference of happiness between single people and people currently in a relationship. My advice would be if you are going to make a claim like this make sure you have concrete evidence to back it up. There is nothing you can show me for this claim that will not be biased.

I believe that this is false it is more so of a preference thing not a fact. I believe the argument is good and many people would agree. According to this article it could create low self of esteem and things of that nature, https://www.charliehealth.com/post/seven-psychological-effects-of-being-single-for-a-long-time . Again this is not a fact and I would say its false and more preference and whatever suits the lifestyle you want to live.

“People who are single are happier.” - I can see where this conclusion could have been drawn from however I think it is important to support a massive claim like this with a more concrete article maybe that relates to the psychological blueprint of why this claim can be drawn. The article from Buzzfeed can lack foundation just because Buzzfeed is also commonly known for covering bits of drama and attracting media attention.

You bring up an excellent point about the challenges of separating personal opinion from research-backed conclusions, especially when it comes to subjective topics like happiness. Measuring happiness is inherently complex because it's influenced by personal, cultural, and situational factors, which can make any study appear biased depending on how the data is collected and interpreted.

Answer 1

The claim of this fact is "People who are single are happier" followed by a more detailed description saying, "People who are single are happier because they are living their most authentic lives without having to worry about someone else." This is a very strong claim backed up by only one source, which is BuzzFeed.news is not a very credible source. Still, it used some US Census research, which is credible. However, the US Census research only yielded the fact that it is more common to see single-person households now than before. Yet, had nothing to do with single or coupled relationships and their happiness. Although this claim may be true in some cases, it can also be false in others; this claim is very subjective, so we can't determine whether it's true or false because it varies from person to person. Therefore, I answer that this claim is neither true nor false, just a strong opinion.
