I'm stressed because I have really few friends, all female and I can count by my fingers.

 

I'm even more stressed out because I'm the youngest in my family and extended family and everyone is asking me to get a boyfriend and prepare to marry.

 

I'm even even more stressed because I trying to build out a stable career for myself and earn as much money as I can and my family is pressing on these issues.

 

And I don't want to marry just for marrying. I couldn't figure how people for in love with a motive, let alone marry off herself. :o To me, it feels no difference like selling your body and/or finding a pimp.

 

bah I just want to rant.

Well, there is a thread in dating about working with what you can change...

so why don't you try concentrating on your career for now and let the rest happen when it's time?

 

If you're trying to build a career, having children is definitely not a good idea. So the next time someone bothers you with having children say just that «I am working on building my career right now. Having kids is not in my immediate plans»

and if you're gutsy like me add «if you want more babies in the family why don't you make some yourself?»

But I'm the black sheep of my family ...

Value of friends shouldn't be measured in quantity.... :(

 

Other things are pretty valid concerns for stress, lol

Sounds like you have 5x as many friends as I have, so I say congrats, you sound rather normal on the amount of friends. No one has more than 5 friends honey. Sorry but you have nothing to cry about there. I do and I don't cry lols :)

 

As far as your family, why do you choose to let it bother you? Why don't you be come patronizing and just smile and say "ok mom! Whatever you say" then just let it roll out your other ear. You are choosing to let it bother you.

 

Then again OP, your last sentence did say it all :o
