Re: Commentsection Confessional

I'm trying really hard not to let it show that I feel bad about rapidly becoming the Last Single Girl Standing among my friends and cousins (I am the oldest of the latter, even!) but it's getting harder and harder and I'm developing some cracks in the veneer. I feel bad about feeling bad and the idea that people know I feel bad and feel pity makes me feel worse. When I say to myself "Hey, you're kinda lonely and frustrated and those are completely legit feelings. Like, you're not made of stone, you know? It's okay to want companionship" it helps, but when I've tried to communicate those feelings to a few trusted individuals, I just get slapped with the "Oh, honey, you don't need a man to be complete!" condescending bullshit and I cycle back to feeling bad and feeling bad about feeling bad.

I completely know what you mean.

Same general situation here, but opposite problem, because I'm the one who's pretty okay with being by myself while seemingly no one else in my country believes that. So I just wish people would leave me alone or at least pretend to believe me when I say I don't need a husband or kids.

FWIW, I didn't get married until my late 30s. Most of my friends were miserable or divorced by the time I got married.

I remember feeling lonely a lot in my 20s and early 30s, but I wasn't looking for a husband, just general companionship, so I don't remember ever feeling *different* or left behind. I just didn't feel that pressure to get married and start a family, you know? But I didn't/don't want kids, so I guess if you did want kids, you'd want to start earlier rather than later.

ayrt

I'm already in my late 30s! (And general companionship is all I'm asking for, too. I don't need to be married if I have that, although it's frustrating to watch people fuss over the weddings of younger people and know that if I got married, they wouldn't care half as much because it's not seen as important or adorable when the couple is over 35.)
