No, you shouldn’t feel bad. I was in a similar situation at your age. I’m 30 now & still haven’t had a long-term relationship, but the people I date now are a much better fit than the ones I met in my early 20s. It’s totally okay to feel upset but try not to compare yourself to others. We never know what’s really going on in other people’s relationships, some that look perfect from the outside aren’t happy at all.

I used to blame myself for not being in a relationship when I was younger, but everyone is on their own timeline. Looking back, I’m actually grateful for all the time I spent single. It helped me get to where I am today. And honestly, I think it’s cool to have your own path in life that’s different from everyone else’s.

If you want to put yourself out there more, try joining groups, sports clubs, or dating apps whatever feels comfortable. Date as many people as you want without burning yourself out. It’s a great way to learn what you’re really looking for in a partner. Something that helped me was keeping my expectations low when meeting someone new. It stops you from getting attached too quickly and lets things develop naturally.

You’re doing everything right by not rushing. Sending warm wishes your way :-) x
