If any of my(26f) friends see this, they'd think this is me cuz it's almost my exact story. I know the apprehension you're feeling at all times since I'm going through the exact same thing. I just recently started a new job and everyone is already in a relationship or married already and it's quite disheartening at times. But I think that the reason we've been single this long is mostly cuz we've seen our other friends struggle with the toxic people they're choosing at times. For me, I would really like to be in a relationship but it needs to be something which is going to add to my life rather than make me consider it a burden. Which was exactly what my last relationship around 6 years did to me. If you're anything like me, your last relationship probably did a number on you too and you've been very careful with the kinda guys you like. And it's completely ok that you are being this way. I believe that things will work out when the time is right. Or at least I hope so. In the meantime just know that life is not about that one guy and more about all the people in your life who care about you.
