Flip yo' perspective. Seriously.

Thing is, all these things happened for these people and your reaction & thought process is negative and Not serving you well At All towards your own goals of not being single.

So, rather than allow yourself to be envious and think frustrated thoughts of "F U, it's supposed to be my turn by now!!" When those thoughts cross your mind, observe them, acknowledge them.. and then change them - tell yourself that's not being a very big person about their successes nor serving you in any sort of positive way Whatsoever, so rather than allow those thoughts to persist, you're going to consciously think pleasant & genuinely congratulatory thoughts about your friends and families' relationship successes.

Train yourself to think "Must be their time to shine, I'm happy for them and their happiness together! Maybe it'll be my turn sometime soon?" And while you wait, continue practising thinking & feeling good things about others' success. You'll be in a better mood for it - And put out "good vibes," into the universe as well as directly to those around you.. in turn making you a more attractive potential partner instead of a bitter grumpy guy who people can't stand to be around, let alone would consider dating.
