Sometimes when we get bombarded with societal pressure and norms , it causes deep level anxious thoughts thinking what am I doing wrong ?
So yes I understand the situation
It is tough to always give the sane answers and it is merely sad that in Indian society you are not seen "settled" unless you are married .
So keep your thought process clear .
If you are leading a healthy lifestyle.
Then there is nothing to be worried about .
It is always going to be your choice into a major life Change.
Next Steps

Hi thanks for reaching out , marring or not to get married is entirely individual choice . I can only say that ask your self what is the reason of not getting married . There can be ample of reasons , visualise your self in future how it will be and if you are ok with it go ahead.

Good Morning. You are the best judge and you are the perfect person who can take your own decision based on your own perception, experience and circumstances. So you are correct.
Others judge and advise you based on their perception and experience. Moreover you cannot stop others from advising you.

Hi... Marriage is a voluntary choice and not a compulsion. People ask about it due to various reasons:
1. Curiosity
2. Comparison
3. Societal Norms
4. Genuine Care
It is completely okay to choose to stay with yourself rather than with other person, but if this choice is more a conflicts (repressed issues, parental marital discord, heartbreak, etc.) then it may create some issues in later part of life.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist as Counselling Sessions will be helpful.

Wellness has been defined by the American Psychological Association or APA, a professional body that a huge chunk of psychologists of the world depend on for authentic information on psychology, as 'a dynamic state of physical, mental, and social wellbeing'. World Health Organisation (WHO) defines health as 'a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (illness)'.
Wellness or wellbeing is a major goal of life. If we go by the above definitions, you feeling comfortable always when you are alone, meditating, working out in gym, going on solo ride etc. and not getting into the social practice of marriage, relationship building etc. will deprive you at least of social wellbeing. But no one can question your choice and you may lead your life as per your preference. On the other hand, if you feel that your beliefs, behaviour, perception etc. do require a review, please consult a psychologist.
Next Steps
Please consult a psychologist if you feel like reviewing the way you are leading your life.

Definitely, Marriage is not mandstory..
Yes, society will. Expect it from every single eligible youngsters to get married..
Of course parents, elders, well wishers all show there concern by enquiring so..
It is more of an Individuals choice especially in today's generation..
