I am a 27 year old female, who is the oldest in the family. How do I deal with my 22 year old brother getting engaged while I am still single?

ClimberParticipant8 months agoAppreciated the piece about not adapting emotions that are expected of us, if we don’t actually feel that way… Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback. So glad you found it helpful.
ec00Participant7 months agoHi, I love these insights! about adapting the emotions, when I was in a similar situation, I got advice that I should not let someone else “tell my story.” Meaning if let’s say in “my story” I am overwhelmed, but happy. I shouldn’t let people come over to me and say “aw this must be impossible for you” and then take on those feeling, and say hey I guess this is impossible for me. or for me to feel “nebach” (pitiful) cuz someone else tells me I should feel that way.
Know what you feel and what you don’t feel, cuz then as you said, Fay, you can work on what you actually feel!
