Waitingaround2die not everyone your age has done that at all. So many are unsure, anxious, in need of friends. I think you've built an unreal version of life in your mind and it's made you sad as you've convinced yourself that you're behind or you've failed. It's not a competition, it's not a race. I know couples who are unhappy, but stay together because they have to, because they have bills to pay or whatever. Believe me, I know guys who'd envy your freedom as a single guy. You've narrowed your vision into ticking boxes you think you need to achieve in order to be a "successful adult". All that matters is your happiness, and that doesn't necessarily rely on children, cars, houses, marriage, a well paid job. What really matters to you? What do YOU really want? Don't allow society's expectations to influence your choices or your happiness. My friend lives alone, has no girlfriend and loves listening to music and going to gigs. That makes him happy. He'd be horrified to imagine being married or having kids.
