Independent life

my cousins and I all grew up together as kids. we're all around the same ages and they both have their partners and one has a kid. i'm single and i just question why has my life been this way.

i feel like i've failed in this world. i feel like an awkward, loner and shy individual because i don't have a partner

i feel kinda awkward especially during family events when my cousins invite their respective partners.

i just wanted to let out my feelings

That's ok to feel this way. You just need to understand that having a partner, family and children is a social construct that you feel you need to follow. You will only be happy when you do what you want, date someone when you really feel like it and don't care what your family expects. It's your life, not theirs.
If you find it difficult try finding a psychologist. A lot of people use it to become better and happier, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with you.
