Family & Friends

My peers from childhood and school are now parents and I’m childless. Why do I feel left out?

I know not everyone has kids but most my age 23-27 are having children or have kids. My best friend is married and has a son. We’ll she just had her son over the summer. She’s 25. Hearing the ladies discussing about their childbirth stories and how they were in pain or gaining a lot of weight was quite frankly uncomfortable. I’m glad they were honest and raw, but still. They weren’t even afraid to show their child being born (on their phones). My best friend said she feels blessed to have her son but feel like hot garbage and showed photos of how she really looks like and sick of ladies trying to look all perfect and getting their pre body back. She gained so much weight (55lbs) and when she heels she will get back to her weight loss journey.
I’m only 24, single and have no boyfriend. I can’t keep a boyfriend and my last boyfriend of a year in a half broke up with be for being (too bossy and clingy). I feel like my friends are drifting apart from me and whenever I ask if they wanna go clubbing or party on weekends sometimes, they decline and prefer to be with their children and partners. I made fun of them for it and I’m fed up. I’m going to piss them off on purpose by replacing them with new people and cut them off. Don’t @ me! I said what I said!
