You say you feel stupid telling us this? Please do not feel that way, that is what this place is for, for people to come and talk, and get support if possible. At 28 y.o. do not feel so badly that you haven't gotten in a serious relationship, believe it or not you are still young, I have a cousin that had been married, was abused, got divorced. A few years later at 35 y.o. she met a nice guy and got married, they are going on their 2nd child, she miscarried with her very first one, things worked for her. Our niece, found someone but was single a long time, traveled throughout the world, met a guy she orignally met here in the states that was from Brazil, she met him down there after a few years that she had seen him in Brazil while she was working as a language teacher on Colombia, she contacted him and he had her get out of Colombia and move in by him with his parents, before you know it they were engaged and got married here in the US and are living in the US, he gave up his citzenship in Brazil.
The point I want to make is maybe changing living locations can also change or increase the chances of meeting up with someone that shares interests, cultures or not cultures but are willing to enjoy the differences, etc. And I do not know how close you are to your parents ( as a family) but maybe moving away geogrphically from them may make your life better, family can be great and yet sometimes be bummers to be around. Think of yourself pnly and things that will make you happy, other than relationships, once getting into a happier frame of mind, you then may be able to feel less pressured and relax, and that "special someone" may be right around the corner (I don't mean that literally) you never know, he just may be not too far.
Just my 2 cents

I wish you the best, please take care.

PS all this is NOT worth ending it all, so stick around, okay? If you feel this horrible feeling then please contact your local mental health dept or behavioural health dept at a local hospital, talk to a therapist perhaps, it couldn't hurt you know.
Just don't exit from this world, there is time and places to see.

In giving advice seek to help, not please your friend
