So it seems everyone has moved on in their life, except me.

I see a lot of old friends/ex’s and they are all into new relationships. I’m not holding onto anything or anyone, I believe, but I’m not looking or trying to anything new as well. Could this be be genetic? My mother never married. She says it’s because she didn’t want to. I kind of sort of feel the same. In that it doesn’t weigh me down so much every day that I need someone. But I do sometime feel I am just letting life slip by…Anyone know what I’m feeling? OR trying to say? I feel I need to do something, but just don’t know what, I geuss.

Just because you’re not in a new relationship doesn’t mean you haven’t moved on :)

Not sure how old you are but maybe if you recently graduated high school or something maybe you can enroll in college somewhere. Usually that will help you in what your looking for…..

I’m just the same as you, and in my opinion, it’s everyone else who’s in the wrong (wrong may not be the right word here). People today seem so fickle that they feel they NEED to be with someone, and whenever they jump into the first person’s arms they see, that relationship will always end badly…always!
I honestly don’t think you should be worried at all.
As for feeling letting life slip by, why not travel? Assuming you’re old enough, get out and see the world, see the different cultures, people, everything! Even if that doesn’t give you purpose, it’s definitely a useful experience.
Hope that makes some sense!

Everyone has a different path in life. Yours may or may not involve a long term relationship. Theres nothing wrong with that. The question you should rather ask yourself is, are you content being single? If so… congratulations. You are on the right path. On your journey down your life path, you might someday bump into someone who is worthy of walking beside you. In the meanwhile enjoy being an independent person and enjoy life to the fullest.:D
