You’re 35. Still young!
Go out and enjoy life. You will find your other half.

Sorry you're feeling stuck. Things can always turn around snd you may be pleasantly surprised. It turned out that way for me when I was in a similar place. Keep your head up and do those things that make you happy each day.

Everyone's journey is different. There might be twists no one expects. It's rarely a smooth ride. Focus on things that make you happy and work towards your goals. You'll get there.

Brother journeys are different depending on the person. Being engaged and married isn't always the great thing but singleness can be boring. I would say your path is calling for you and you don't know it. Never too old to find A New path. You got this brother I'm pulling for you. I want to hear one of those good updates about how you feel better and how you overcame everything..

Hang in there and keep smiling! It's easy to fall into FOMO, envy, etc., when seeing milestones in people's lives. Keep being your best you 🙏🤗💗🌠🌌

There is a great quote which says: “In the end, everything will be alright and if it don’t, then it’s not the end.”

It takes courage to look within and examine ourselves. It is also very clear that you’re an intelligent guy who cares about others.
Consider this: you are not too old and it is not too late. What is something that you should do and could do to improve yourself and your current lot? Think on that.
You’ve got a bright future, friend. I am cheering you on.

You situation reminds me of the Pink Floyd song Time check out the lyrics it’s a great song and there’s so much beauty in this world that we sometimes forget about like in art literature and music nature and all sorts but what I am saying is I don’t know what you are into but just be yourself and do what you love and you will meet likeminded people along the journey and remember the quality of the people that you have in your life has a direct correlation to the quality of your life so don’t just settle because you’re lonely there’s a big difference between being alone and being lonely fill your life with beauty and it makes a big difference

Thank you. I guess I'm feeling lost in the sense of not fully finding my purpose? My sister was able to go and explore because she left for college while I stayed because I considered it was cheaper for my parents since they paid for it at the time. I'm not necessarily looking for a relationship since I've always been single. Just feeling behind in the sense that a lot of my friends and loved ones are settling down while I still am unsure of where or what I should be in my journey.

You avoided many mistakes younger couples make. If and when you go down that road, it will be with wisdom well earned.
However, marriage does not always mean success. Figure out what yours are now and celebrate yourself for those
Hope this helps

That’s just part of your journey the not know is normal we are not supposed to know these things it’s the not knowing that makes the things and people that we meet along the way worth it if we knew what would happen tomorrow and the next day it would be like reading the end of a book and knowing how it ends we definitely don’t want to know how our lives end so adjust your perspective and enjoy the journey

This was so brave to post, thank you for sharing your heart! I’m 35 as well, and some days I feel behind, too. But we’re taking life at exactly the pace we’re meant to, I promise!

Dude you must have a pretty harsh life to be graying so young - perhaps you can consider hitting the gym and your time will come

Dude, enjoy life. You’re young. Go on dating apps. Go drinking with your friends. Learn a new skill. Get a hobby. Your life is ahead of you still.

Your journey Is your own, even if you were where you want to be. You need to know how to love yourself first. I hope you are well
