I've gone through this stage. Just remember everyone has their own path in life. Some people will meet their soulmate before you, start their career before you, etc. The most important thing is that when these events finally materialize in your life, you feel happy and fulfilled. Until then, learn to be happy with your present life.

I don't envy anyone's relationship, no sir. One of my closet friends acted like her relationship was so damn perfect, she bragged so much about what he did for her. She recently revealed that she had been unhappy in the relationship for a couple years.

^^^^ Very common. I have learned that the people that are always bragging on their relationships are the ones most likely in trouble. The bragging is a way of convincing themselves that everything is great.
If everything is great, okay so what are you trying to prove? ... keep your mouth shut.

^^ Yea it is normal. If you are lonely..
Single and lonely are often confused... they don't always go hand in hand...
It's very possible to feel lonely and envy other people's relationships while in a relationship/marriage yourself....

Yeah
I probably don't go out very often & when I do it's usually same
people and same places. My attitude and mentality is just fine I'm sure!
I'm pretty good at reviewing myself haha. |
Sorry, didnt mean to sound harsh, I was in a rush. When
I say you I dont mean it in a negative way. Im sure its not your
attitude or mentality but it is something as simple as going to the same
places, seeing the same people. Do something new! Singles
mixers..online dating....speed dating. You never know who you could meet
so all is not hopeless.  and trust me....your friends in relationships are not unicorns and rainbow happy as you think....

I do not understand why some of yall be acting like people can not truly be happy in a relationship. Too me many of you rationalize to make yourself feel better. Nothing wrong with if you want to be with someone but no you should not be envious . When your time comes and then what if your friend or friends are single and they are pessimistic just as you are about their relationships. Then the shoe will be on the other foot and you will think they Hating or what not. Everybody longs for companionship and nothing is wrong that just make sure you choose a companion the values and respects you.

I mean......if you know your relationship is good I dont see why you would even worry about someone elses opinion..
I sure wouldn't.... It shouldnt matter how someone feels about you and yours...
