What do you do if you are exposed to negative opinions about your life from everyone around you?

I am 31 years old.. I was in a long 8 year relationship and he cheated on me and left me before our marriage.. it was very hard

Now i am healing but my society always reminds me that I'm no longer young and should get married.. I haven't recovered yet from my previous relationship.. I'm starting to get scared that I will never meet the right person.

Well, ask yourself whether or not you have a reason to value those opinions. A lot of people have a lot of opinions. The vast majority of those opinions are dumb and/or worthless. Hell, this one might be both. That's kind of up to you decide. That's the great thing about being an independent and free-thinking adult. They think you should get married? Why? Over half of marriages end in divorce. You'll never meet the right person? There's literally 8 billion people in the world. There's got to be at least a few million "right persons" hanging out somewhere. Why is it race? Does it make any actual difference if you meet someone now or in 5 years, if you genuinely have chemistry with that person? What is that difference?

Think about it. Why do you actually care? Why does it actually matter? See if you can think up a concrete answer. If you can, hey, maybe they're right. If you can't, maybe they're full of s**t and you should stop caring about what they think.

I’m sorry about that. That’s shitty. You’re not too young and you’re still of child bearing years too. You’ll find better.

Let nobody pressurize you to do anything, just laugh it off and focus on your life, the right person will come along when you least expect it or not looking for it.
