Hey All, thanks everyone for messaging me and for your suggestions, I think I just needed time to I guess 'calm down' and think a bit more rationally and with being busy over the Christmas/ New Year period hasn't really helped but anyway. For those asking if I have had a chance to speak with my sister in law, No at this stage not yet due to being busy with holidays and work and if I'm being really honest I scared to but anyway that is something that I need to do on my part. I think I'm realising that I need to start playing that active role NOW in my life for things to happen like dating, making friends, etc. I am in the early stages of seeking therapy (I'm just a bit worried of the wait list (which is completely out of my control with everything happening in the world) and that I will be wasting my life away in the time being while I wait to get help (maybe I'm being irrational here??) I don't feel comfortable with telling most of my family about how I am seeking counselling (only my Mum and sister in law know a bit about this) again maybe I need to stop being a baby and face my fears (how on earth do I do this?? but anyway).

Hi All, I am new to this so I apologise for any mistakes in advance. So I guess I am looking for advice in regards with dealing with pressure from family (in particular an older brother) of what I should be doing with my life. I know that deep down he only wants the very best for me however it comes across as quite harsh and negative most of the time. You see, I grew up in a bit of a strict family where I wasn't really allowed to go out with friends, have a boyfriend and the like, and now that I have since turned 25 y/o I am some how EXPECTED to have a boyfriend, be in a good job and not living at home still (this I did not plan on happening, but anyway) and to also know what I want in life. I know what he is saying to me that it is only harder when you get older to do things but some things just haven't worked out for me like I planned, like being in a good job by now and being able to buy a house. People keep telling me that there is no timeline for when you complete things in life but I can't help but feel that I am simply no good and am destined for nothing. I have felt this way my whole life, that no matter what I do, I will never be good enough for my family or anyone. Difficult to please. I have thought about having a chat with my sister-in-law (his wife) alone without my brother about this and how I feel when he speaks to me, but I am kinda scared and am fearful of the outcome of this. Does anyone have any thoughts??
