How to stop feeling stuck?

Hi everyone,

I'm a 35 yo unmarried woman. Despite doing well professionally, having hobbies, and looking fairly okay, I can't shake the sense of failure. Relatives, colleagues, friends, and even strangers seem to think I'm falling short because of my current single status.

Past failed relationships and the brutal online dating process have left me mentally exhausted and fearful of my future. On top of navigating my own challenges, I constantly face taunting comments and judgments from others. I’ve come to realize that none of your achievements matter if as a woman you don’t have a husband or family. You’re basically looked at as someone with some kind of an attitude or bad character.

I've tried to find a way out of this emotional turmoil, but it feels like everyone blames me for my situation. The thought of disappearing often crosses my mind, as if a meteor could just take me down and end this struggle.

I've been stuck in this position for years and don't know what to do anymore. Any advice or support would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you
