| I get what you mean. I was in the same boat in my late teens and early twenties, focusing on getting through college and figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. Starting a family wasn’t even on my radar back then. It’s funny, though—biologically, our bodies are ready for that stuff early, bu... |

| My dad has also wondered about me transferring my job to where he lives and wondering if I'm happy with what I'm doing. I've explained to him I seem to be fine with my work and once think of getting a different job somewhere else but I seem to have little interest in moving on to another field of jo... |

| I read a study in which 18% of 25 to 34 year olds are still living with their parents and struggling to have enough money to move out, rent or their own property. I sometimes feel "bad" because unlike my peers I haven't had an urge in my brain telling me to move out and continue to live wi... |

| I can't understand why we are more fertile in our late teens/early twenties when people's brains are not fully formed and matured until later. It makes it come across as though that is the ''ideal'' time to start thinking and having children but back then, that was the last thing on my mind while it... |

| I always find myself doing other things but not actively going on a dating app. I even seem to feel I've got little interest in social media, despite having a Facebook and Instagram account, but I don't spend my life always taking photos of things or myself unlike when I first started using it. I th... |

| I sometimes have bad days whilst at work where I find myself not wanting to engage with some of the staff and just go about my day being quiet doing my job. I obviously can't remain silent as I have to engage with customers and staff because of my work. I find it hard to try shut off any personal th... |

| I seem to get this impression that because someone is in their 30s, they really need to, like someone like my dad would say to "knuckle down" with finding a partner and settle as soon as possible, or otherwise you'll end up being alone in old age, which seems to I think just aggravate and ... |
