:-( Life just passing me by

[Surreygirl30]

Does anyone else feel like life is just passing them by and that everyone has someone/children/good job/house and you are the only one left with nothing exciting to talk about?

It's just a general question not a feel sorry for myself post. I just wonder if others feel the same and what do you do to get that feeling of failure out of your head or how do you find a nice person to share life with.

everyone has given very good advice here and as said - grass is always greener etc etc. All my school friends are married, with children and very successful husbands and living in big houses etc. I do still get out with them sometime though - just not such wild nights. Over the years through friends of friends I have built up quite a wide circle of friends and several of them are single. I am single and out of all my friends I am probably the least successful should we say - I do own my own house but nothing very big but I am contented in my job and not wanting to take the risk. Could any of your work friends become 'good' friends - ie pursue those friendships? I am off on my 2nd holiday of the year this week with girls who shall I call my 'new best friends' cannot really remember life without them but have only known one of them about 18 months and the one I have known the longest 3 years! I still have contact as I say with 3 school friends but I understand their lives have taken a different path. In one sense I feel I would like someone (ie boyfriend) to share this life with but to be honest at the moment my life is too busy. I am also lucky to have nieces and a nephew who I adore so life is good. It was not always that way - when i came out a long term relationship I felt no-one was really there for me but as i say through friends of friends my life has completely turned around.
