(Do you smell brimstone? -)) I find that, overall, the opposite is true. When I have an SO, or in general someone that I feel really cares for me, I'm generally happy. In this state of mind, I find it easy to talk to other people and be supportive of them. In the absence of an SO-type person, I'm often somewhat depressed, and find dealing with other people, potential SO's or not, more difficult.
