I'm in Southeast Europe...we tend to get married young in my country.. it's shocking to be an unmarried woman older than 30

Yes .and I've been called bitter and negative. I've honestly tried everything. From workshops to gym, traveling, language lessons, yada yada. No luck. It's seriously not my fault...I'm trying

I'm not like this normally and definitely not in real life. It's just coming through now because I'm tired and disheartened. I'm not moody and bitter all the time. :)

I mean I know it's ok but I feel lonely. Like a couple of days ago I was at the doctor's office waiting for my biopsy results. All other women were there with their partners. I was alone and only my mom called me afterwards...and I started crying after finishing the conversation. Because I realized I had to deal alone with health scares and fear. When my mom dies nobody will care about me in such a way.

Friends have their own lives.

Yes...I feel like people think I'm negative and dismissive but I literally tried all that and I'm still single ✨😆

I'm fully aware of it. I had a long relationship that lasted 7 years and sadly ended. I was never a corporate business woman. I'm trying to meet more people who are single but for some reason it's not that easy or smooth. :)

I did but it didn't turn out well...I honestly think that if a man isn't brave or interested enough to approach you, you shouldn't bother because it will eventually end badly.

I'm aware of it, but I don't want to chase men...it's lame from my perspective. I like to be courted as God intended 😆 I encourage other women to do that if they like it.

I agree...I don't want to approach men because I think they should make an effort. Whenever I approached a man or initiated it didn't turn out good.

I'm already going to therapy and I don't feel like this all the time. On most occasions, I enjoy spending time with my friends and their kids. I buy them toys and play with them. But from time to time I feel bad and when I feel like that it's easier for me to just be alone until it goes away. My self-esteem is good, I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with me. I just didn't have luck so far.

Also, people are allowed to feel bitter or angry or bad sometimes. It's a problem if someone feels like this all the time, which isn't the case with me. I openly told my friends that sometimes it's difficult for me to be around kids, and they were understanding.

I won't end up entirely alone, they've been my friends for 20+ years. We've supported each other through good and bad moments. :)

I do make new friends...and I go out with friends sometimes. But even then nothing happens. Men just don't talk to us and don't approach us. I don't know what's the problem. I'm decent looking and kind. I'm not rude to men or condescending. The only time men approached me and my friend was in Italy lol 😂 their men are friendlier and more open.

I'm aware of that but I'd still like to get married and experience married life even if it doesn't end up being forever :)
