Me [22 F] lesbian feeling resentful towards my straight friends, but I don't want to be!

I'm not a lesbian. I'm straight. And I have never once found finding someone easy. I certainly never found a single person ( aside from a brief fling with the school lunatic at age 5 where we married and divorced within a single lunch break) through school, college, or university to date.

My best successes have always been outside of education. At work, at clubs and honestly. .. being gay you probably have the upper hand there. There are a lot of gay social clubs around. It may depend on where you live. If you're out in the sticks maybe it's time for a change of scene.

As for the future? You're young. Marriage at 22? Meh... half the folks I know who married at that age arent still married now. Don't rush yourself. Enjoy your twenties.

Finally weddings etc? I've been to 1 lesbian and 1 gay wedding recently. They were both wonderful affairs, and sometimes yes. A certain portion of the family won't attend, but family is what you make it. Blood isn't everything and if they don't accept you for who you are who needs them. Both of these weddings were packed with other gay/ straight couples having the time of their lives. The couples in question enjoyed their days. What would you rather do? Pretend to be something you're not and marry a man so some judgemental ass hat relatives will attend? Or would you rather invite the people who care about you and love you for you and say hang the asshats?

You live in a much more progressive time and it's getting more and more so as the years pass. People have such mixed blended families now... two moms? It's accepted in a lot of places.

Most people will go through what you're going through at some point. Maybe it's not due to relationships. Maybe it's work. Maybe it's infertility, maybe it's Ill health. Don't let it get to you and keep going.
