I read through this thread as much as I could. OP, if you come across in real life as you do here, it's no wonder that you are not in a relationship. No one wants a partner who makes life "all about them, only". You have to develop a genuine interest in another person to have a decent relationship of any kind. You are blowing this friendship because you have no genuine interest in your friend. You can't even stop to be happy for her. No guy worth having is going to be interested in you. You might have hook ups, but no one wants to marry someone that takes not interest in them.
I can't believe you want to be a mother--you know it's not all about the mom, it's about the kid. You certainly aren't ready for that!
Find some time away from the mirror to give to others. Take a nice gift to the party and network with others. Ask ten questions before you say anything about yourself. You might find it makes a difference.

Ok so first of all I am in the most giving profession that one can be in, everything I do is giving to others and helping others. Secondly, I care VERY much about my partner when I am with them likely more than I care about myself. I don't care about other people's relationships... especially when I don't have my own. I don't need friendships... I have friends. I have enough of them I need husband and babies.
Because if I am not in a relationship then I'm nothing. Obviously if you are in a relationship someone wants you and picks you and you are a good desirable person and if you aren't in a relationship then you aren't.
so very wrong.
Have you ever thought about counseling? You might benefit from it.
If you want to be more desireable, establish some self love. Selfworth and confidence are desireable traits.

Profession? You stated that you are in grad school. There are many helping professions but your attitude and self-obsession won't take you far in any of them.

I hope you share this thread with your therapist.
I'm in grad school but I intern and I do work in a helping profession I'm also great at what I do because despite what you may think I do care about people

We know you care.
If you stop having anxiety over marriage and babies it just might happen.
I knew a couple that tried and tried for a baby and It didn't happen until she was done. It was a more 'if it happens it happens.' Then? It happened...she got pregnant.
When you are not looking it will happen.
Relax. Breathe.
