The mythical concept that there is exactly one person on the entire planet out there who will make you happy and that you're destined to end up together forever.

Encourages people to stay in bad relationships because they think love is a one-time thing and expect all of their emotional needs to be fulfilled by one person. Also conditions people to think they're not complete on their own.
Person 1: "I'm actually happy being single."
Person 2: "Oh, don't be ridiculous! You'll change your mind when you find The One™️!"
