is it normal to be 23, single, out of a bad relationship months later that you look at for the best and have no kids, no real adult issues holding you back on party, friends, drinkin, pot etc..
i just dont want this! ive been offered by co-workers and so on.. but i honestly do not consider this fun, or something i would enjoy doin at my age! i personally wanna be married, kids, career, religous and etc.. at 23! i cant seem to find a guy who wants this! and i want to be settled down and mature at a young age! people tell me, im young and shouldnt want this at my age. the other thing i commonly hear is from other women/friends about how they had kids too young and felt they missed out on party days and being young so i should be young and not be thinking about this kinda stuff! but i seriously dont want this and feel im one of the few who are truley like this at my age, by choice*
is this normal?
or am i more unique/diffrent?
i feel many find me boring cus of this and it makes me wanna distance myself from people ingeneral! and thats not healthy, i know! i cant seem to find people like me though..
anyone like this at a early age or know of anyone who is like me? how did it end up turning out?!
any suggestions/advice/words for me?
thank you<3

    I feel the exact same way. You're just mature for your age.

    Your just mature, more so than many of your friends/co workers. Cant offer you any advice, just wanted you to know that you are on the right path :)

    Funny enough it's what I want too. I won't write what I wanna write because it will end up being a book. I'm no author. You're normal to me and happy to see that.

    You already know what you want. It's going to take most of your peers longer to work it out. You either wait for them to catch up, or date outside your age group.

    Hey I'm the same I'm 20 and have no interest in going out drinking and clubs etc. I do have a 8 month old daughter but seriously in my whole life I have been clubing once.

    I have similar wants. I want to get my dream job, find the right girl, marry her, and start having kids. People always tell me I'm too young, but people probably say that to me about just about everything that I do. I think you should take other people's advice seriously, but it doesn't mean that you have to listen to them. Its very possible that you know yourself better than they do and that your justified in wanting to do these things young. But, you gotta make sure that you take care in making some of these important decisions. Sometimes patience is needed to make certain good decision.

    People have their own insecurities to deal with about relationships. Its best not to let what they tell you get to your heart. Everyone has different beliefs about life and the best way to live it. If getting married is what you want, slowly but surely go after that! good luck.
