I'm going to my 10-year high-school reunion in a couple months. I usually feel fairly content with my life, but then I check out what some of my friends and other people from then are doing...they're all either paired up, with kids or in love with their jobs and all of a sudden I go from feeling content to feeling like a miserable lump who has no purpose and contributes nothing to society.

I don't even particularly want kids or a spouse, but they all just seem so...you know. I don't want to say "happy," but...with purpose.

At my 10 year reunion, it totally divided out into the "baby table" and the "no baby table". All the ones with kids looked old as fuck. Just sayin'

Haha. I'll be looking for that now when I get there!

It's possible that they envy your life and the choices you've made, though.
I mean, you may not have the kids or the dream partner, but I think there are a lot of benefits to not having those things. For example, whatever money you make can be spent on you, rather than the kids. If you wanted to take a holiday, finances permitting, you could do it. Also, I doubt it's possible to sleep in or have those lazy afternoons when you do absolutely nothing when you have small kids to worry about.

I don't think you would have any reason not to be proud of the choices you've made and of where you are in your life. It might be different to what your friends have done, but that doesn't make it worse :)

Thanks. And, heh, funnily enough, shortly after I made the above comment, I noticed this video on my YouTube feed:
