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 heighten the anxiety and makes it hard for me to sometimes enjoy this decade of life and feels that way especially when I've seen people who look my age who now have kids whereas five years ago they didn't. I even seem to find myself worrying when I've seen these TV adverts for retirement for those people who get to 49 and over despite the fact it's not targeting my age group.
