Feeling insecure being single at 28.

Everyone my age or even younger has it better than me.

So, you're either the most hideous, unlovable, inconsolable person in your area, OR you have the same options as all the people who've seen success. Which do you think it is? Thinking in absolutes like this is a toxic mindset that will propel you further away from the men you want to get and create self-fulfilling prophecies of failure. Instead, focus on the traits the people you admire have, and the traits the men you want will also like, and then work to achieve those traits. Some were born with those traits, others also had to work for them, but being sour about the difference will just make you miserable.

If you believe you have no options, that’s indeed what you’ll find. The problem here is your mind and your attitude. Nobody has it “better than you”, you’re just stuck in a place of feeling sorry for yourself.

I met the love of my life at 31. You have a LOT of time ahead of you. First things first though: get your mind right. Nobody wants to spend time with a person stuck in victim-mode. Read inspiring books, get busy working on a glow up, discipline your mind and body through regular exercise. I say this as someone who also regularly needs these reminders!

Single at 32, been single a long while. Could have a relationship if we wanted, but would that be worth settling for something less than what you deserve? Nope. It's better to be single than be with someone who isn't a good fit for you. I imagine most people you see coupled up aren't as perfect and complimentary as you'd think. It's easy to let familiarity and fear of being alone drive you to poor relationships. It's hard to let yourself be single, unapologetically, and better yourself so that if the right person comes along you aren't desperate and needing their approval.

Are you regularly putting effort into keeping fit and looking good? What's your relative SMV now vs when you were younger? What's your relationship history like - did you ever have a boyfriend or an LTR?

Do you have any men interested in you now (ie men that go out of their way to talk to you or invite you to things)?

I’m not being mean and I’m hoping this helps, but your world view is insanely negative.

Everyone has it worse than you? that’s objectively untrue and victimy.

Many pretty women are single for YEARS. pretty women are treated horribly too. I’m single and it’s not my looks. The dating scene is bad, yes, but I’m honest with myself and know it’s a choice to be single.

Ugly terrible people have relationships it’s really just a choice, but succumbing to negativity and self loathing is definitely a good deterrent to relationships. Not because ppl won’t date negative ppl with victim complexes, amazing ppl will do that lol, but because you’re probably not going to talk to anyone if you’re in that headspace.

People aren’t kidding when they say that your timeline is your timeline. 28 and single is fine just get over yourself.

Full text: Ive been single for two years & I cant manufacture the image of having options because I have none. Dating apps have gone really bad quality.

Everyone my age or even younger has it better than me.

I only really have to see my younger siblings all coupled up to know I am the problem & probably not as attractive/doesn't have the 'It' that makes certain people achieve milestones on time.

I see a pretty girl and KNOW she just has a boyfriend. And vice versa for the men I do like.

It sucks being on the fringes of life.
