I sometimes enjoy my company but sometimes feel bad

It irritates me when for generations we lived in a world where by your 20s you got married, had kids, and so on and that if you hadn't done that by 30 and beyond, you were "frowned upon" or seen as "strange". I know attitudes have changed now, but I still seem to think people instinctively feel the need to follow that example just like our parents, grandparents and great grandparents did. I do like doing things on my own as a 30+ year old man but I still feel at times "bad" when I know I shouldn't especially when I am in the presence of people younger with a partner.

I seem to think the reason for this is partly because I've had people like my dad trying to get me to really knuckle down and meet someone probably because he speaks from his experience of spending most of his 20s and 30s in a relationship with mum and was never single during that time and probably thinks that being still single in your 30s is "not normal" but I seem to think he forgets I have a condition which makes these things harder. I don't know if he thinks the same about my sister who is 31 that she should be married, driving a car like me etc.

I even seem to think people younger than me still even today look down on those older than them and still single and think they are "weird". I maybe wrong I don't know.
