She’s Feels Intimidated Being 30 And Single, And She’s Wondering If She’s Going To Spend The Rest Of Her Life Alone
Will I be alone forever?
Becoming single and starting over again often seems frightening. A little voice tends to pop into our heads, reminding us how challenging and lonely it can be to start over.
It’s easier to bounce back when you are young. A new chapter opens; you take what you have learned from the last relationship and grow stronger for the next one.
Most of us in our early 20s are likely looking for our next apartment, otherwise known as finding a new love carefree in our 20s.
Then there’s breaking up in your 30s. You’re surrounded by friends who are coupled, planning their weddings, preparing for kids, and settling into their forever homes.
We second guess ourselves during this time. That voice creeps in, reminding us once again that we are behind in life.
Most of us don’t realize there is no timeline in life. There is no expectation for marriage and children, relationships, and building forever homes.
These thoughts left with us are preconceived notions of how society wants our lives to be.
Breaking up with your partner means a new chapter is beginning. Doors will open, and new opportunities will arise.

While it may feel lonely at first, we have the rest of our lives to enjoy who we are and what will come next.
A 30-year-old woman recently explained how intimidating it feels to be single at 30.
“It seems like everyone else has built long-term, meaningful relationships, and I’m back at square 1,” she said.
“I would really love to find someone to build a great life with, and I would love to have children.”
The young woman is successful in her career, has her own place, and is surrounded by amazing friends.
As she leaned to Reddit for some reassuring advice, the comment section did not disappoint.
However, one person in the comment section said it best.
“When I was 29, I got divorced, moved back to my home city with my tail between my legs, took a job as a temp file clerk, and crashed on a friend’s futon,” said username rotatingruhnama on a Reddit post.
“Life felt over like I was going to be left behind. Fast forward to today. I’m 45, and I’m writing this while curled up in bed with my daughter, watching cartoons.”
“My husband is working in the next room. We’re all snug together in our house, with friends and a nice little cozy life. It wasn’t easy getting here, and this part of my story is barely the beginning. There’s always more.”
The comment left on this Reddit post provides a great outlook on life. It’s never too early to go back to school.
It’s never too early to start a new hobby, find a new forever home, and build a family.
While it may seem challenging watching the rest of the people in your life continue on with their significant others, remember, there is no timeline for love. So enjoy the time you have now, and love will find its way.
