The evening was going well until a person 15 years younger than me started talking to me about his 2-year-old son. And I think of my life, alone and miserable playing the loser.

    That guy was trying to impress/flex on people 15 years his senior by doing such great things as checks notes jizzing in a lady 2 years and 9-ish months ago. You’re not a loser, just on a different path. The best part is it’s never too late to change course, choose another path, but the thing that matters most is finding satisfaction with whatever path you’re on.

      There’s no reason to think the person was flexing. They were probably just conversing. And OP would probably love to have children of their own. It’s normal to feel bad in such situation without there being a bad guy. OP, I feel with you and hope you’ll find joy in whatever your life brings.
