I think it's weird

I'm 40 and many of the woman on my Facebook and Instagram I've had on there for about a decade. Most are roughly my age and all have at some point been in my lives. Part of the reason I kept them there was because many of them lived amazing great lives, top promoters, world travellers, highly successful people. But something changed over the last few years and most of their feeds have simply turned to pictures of their relationships. I'm not ripping on anyone for posting their relationships, but I find it strange as they get older their relationships over shadow their amazing careers for what they want to show the world. Not trying to be a jerk, but when you're around 40... perfect relationship pictures and "love of my life" comments don't come across like they seem to think they do. Especially when many of them are divorcees or parents. I've done the opposite. I started with pictures of relationships, as I felt that that's what defined me. but over the last few years realized that career I've carved out for myself is what makes me. A lot of them I honestly don't know what they even do anymore. Which I find sad, their pictures used to be inspirational because of the pride they had in their careers.

Your career won't stand at your bedside when you get prostate cancer at age 50. The company you work for won't either. Life is about the relationships we have.

So what? That's life.

You choose what defines you best, and what's really important to you in life. However for some people, their relationships become more important to them than just their careers, and that's how they later end up defining themselves in their lives, and even to those that aren't as important to them as their families. You obviously suck at relationships, because you're too focused in yourself.

It's useless

We all go about our own paths. You do you, they do them. Why is that so hard to comprehend? I know you're not meaning any harm but you are coming off judgey.

but I'm neither into doing the normal (BORING!) life (get married, have kids) NOR career....

Just (blood) family, friends, hobbies, new activities, travel, current events, etc.

That is weird.

relationships, not careers. IMHO anyway. I presume these people you talk about have come to that realization without you.
