The story

I feel weird today my sister told me a dude from my graduating class is already having a kid soon and also my sorta cousin got pregnant and I think already had her kid it's weird and this guy I would trade some pics with on discord and we been on and off talking apparently found a partner and I'm so happy for him but also I just got back from Chicago and I'm from a smaller part of Wisconsin and I just feel so lonely in Chicago I got to see so many gay people and I love seeing people be themselves but no one ever wants to be themselves with me in a romantic way I think I'm just in the feels cuz so many people from my class are moving to a different stage in life and like I look at what I'm doing and it feels weird I dont even want a kid but I still feel like I'm missing a relationship I haven't had a serious adult gay relationship and I feel like I'm missing something I'm at a point where I almost have to stop myself from just swiping yes on everyone on tinder but I feel like that would make it worse for me I don't know but I just feel weird over all I'm not sure what questions to even ask hopefully this was the right spot for sum like this

Sounds like you’re feeling a bit off with everything going on around you. Honestly, seeing people moving on to different life stages can definitely get under your skin and make you question where you're at. But rushing into relationships just for the sake of not being alone is a recipe for disaster, trust me. I've been there too, swiped right like it was some game and ended up even more frustrated! Just remember it's better to find something real instead of getting caught up in everyone else’s timelines. Plus, let's face it, social media only shows the highlight reel... finding genuine connection takes time. 🤷‍♂️

yo, i get where you're coming from. life can feel like a mess when everyone around you seems to be moving on and doing their thing. but seriously, comparing yourself to others is just gonna drive you nuts!!! not everyone's path looks the same - some pop out kids at 22 while others are living that wild single life in the city... or whatever. trust me though, don't start swiping right on everyone. desperation ain't cute and you'll end up with the wrong people wasting your time. maybe just focus on little things that make YOU happy for now?
