I’m 32 And All My Friends Are Married But Me
I’m 32 and all of my friends are getting married. I’m depressed because I feel like I’ll never find a boyfriend. All I do is work and then go home. Can you help me?

Dear Hopeless and Single:
What you need to realize is that you matter as an independent person whether or not you have a boyfriend. Focus on strengthening yourself as an individual and your self-esteem. Start by developing activities that make you feel good.
Society and culture have conditioned people to believe that women can only be complete and happy if they are in a relationship. But what do you think about yourself? What dreams and personal projects have you not yet completed? What do you think about women who aren’t in a relationship? If your depression continues, please get help.
