I’m 36 I feel like my life is about half over and it’s empty?

Question

I have no kids and no significant other (no prospects either). I always wanted a family of my own but I feel like the window is closed.

I don’t find myself attractive and typically I feel as though I can be annoying…yes I’m trying to change the annoying part but my looks are what they are.

In all honesty based on my age and lack of prospects is it time for me to give up on the idea that a family of my own is a possibility?

In life you have two choices. You either believe and confess the Word of God, or you believe and confess the word of the enemy. Everything you just wrote is what the enemy tells people every day through different means. I would suggest that you start learning how God sees you and what His plans are for you. Then everything will change. Through Him you can find the right partner and have a family. Look at the scripture Genesis 18:11

'Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.'

Only through God were they able to have a family...

Genesis 21:2

'For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.'

This culture does not want you to believe in any of those scriptures because then you are alone, hopeless and without understanding of everything that is just waiting for you to claim!

And this is coming from someone that never used to believe.

I know women that got married starting late 30's, 40's, 50s and a few in the 80's.

kids... better hit the accelerator pedal.

unfortunate it is so hard for so many, our societies are messed up. Do your best. It isn't all looks. there's nerdy not very attractive guys looking.

life is just starting by the way...

STOP the negative talking. I had a similar mindset. I had even given up on ever being a mum especially after I was told by the doctor after a scan I had done that I was infertile because my ovaries were messed up. Guess what imagine my shock when at the age of 36 I found out I was pregnant.

I met someone who only met their husband after she turned 42 and he was near 50 and they just recently had a baby a few weeks before I had my baby

Well, you have 2 choices, you can give up and in 20 years you will be still in the same place or you can keep trying and maybe you will find somebody. You need to build an interesting life. 36 is not too old. I started a second career at 39. I won't lie, it was hard and I wish I was able to do this while I was younger but we all have to play the cards we are dealt.

I guess u took bad advices in the past and wasted your time on parties and promiscuous stuff.

Well time has run out, take the best nice guy in your area who isn't a bum and try to create a family. The majority of your eggs are gone so speed up the pace.

its okay to feel that way, but you have to do your best to keep being positive and avoid getting into a negative mindset death spiral. If you do you will absolutely sabotage any potentials.
