I'm noticing when I get on Facebook, and in real life, everyone I personally know is either engaged, just married, has a baby, or is buying a house(for the new family). Sure, there's a couple of single people I know but not many. I'm still single after several years unfortunately. I've done a lot of work to improve myself but nothing is happening. My friends and acquaintances are moving into a new chapter in life which involves a serious relationship or family. I'm unfortunately not. Every post i see on facebook is about a baby, or how much they love their SO. I'm honestly feeling like a failure and I voluntarily apologized to my mum for not giving her grandchildren. Who has been through/going through feeling like this?

This is ridiculous. Just because you're not married and have children doesn't make you a failure and you certainly have no need to apologize. My suggestion is to quit comparing your life with other people and stop spending so much time on Facebook, I think you'll be much happier.
It's just that time of life when a lot of old friendships start drifting apart, and moving on. Doesn't matter who's doing what, or who's not. Even if you were doing the things they are, it would still happen.
Life isn't about keeping up with the Jones' anyway, man.

Well I'm not spending a lot of time on Facebook at all. Its just than every time I log on, I see pics of babies and wedding rings. It stirs up jealousy in me. I'm not comparing, its just hard to NOT realize that I lost a race apparently. A lot of my peers are moving at the same speed.

It's understandable to feel that jealously. Just don't let it eat you alive.

That happens, it's inevitable. I had friends who got married and had kids and eventually we just drifted apart. That's life. Also if you view it as a race, you're totally looking at it the wrong way.
