True they both do.
Single people don't have to compromise.But people with a SO knows who they are going to event with. I have to ask my married friends or coupled friends,"Hey wanna go to such and such?"-"Hon do you wanna go with Raena to such and such?-Omg she's still single what's wrong with her?"

I'm not gonna lie, that stuff does kind of sting. Only in that moment though. I know pretty much all my friends will be couple most definitely in the near future and I will most likely still be single. I'm okay with that though, because it would be less stress on my shoulders. It's a lot of work keeping up with friends, at least for me it is. I love staying home, I only leave the house when I ABSOLUTELY have to.
Now that's the good natured post to lighten the mood that was intended and needed....... not a potential " MGTOW " award ceremony acceptance speech lmao
I hate being asked about having any prospects, especially from my mother. I'm just thinking the whole time, "are you this stupid?! I crapped out on the looks lottery, of course I don't have any prospects!" It just me off.
I find family gatherings particularly awkward- not because anyone asks me about my prospects but it's depressing to see everyone else with kids and significant others when you don't have them. Even if you don't necessarily want kids or a partner, it just feels like everyone else has grown up and started a new life while you have remained the same as you always were. It's like, geez, even my 18 year old cousin who I still consider a kid has a baby. Even my weird, gothic cousin managed to find a weird, gothic boyfriend just like herself to bring to family events. It just makes me feel alone and like a failure in life, but thanks for trying to cheer us up anyway, Auraliea! lol

We all have different life paths at the end of the day, and/or different things at a different time.
I understand that, but sometimes it seems like everyone else is on the same path except for you.
It can feel a little isolating but you have to remember you are you. The grass isn't always greener on the others side either. When I think about it, I really wouldn't to do something simply because it seems everyone is doing it. It'd be pretty boring if everyone was doing the same thing. Be more confident.

Except everyone is pretty much doing the same thing- coupling up and/or having kids. At the end of the day, no one really cares about your career, your hobbies, or your travels. They just see you as a person without a family, especially if you're a woman.
