Nearly all of my friends are married, they are now about 24-25 yrs old and Most of them are already pregnant.
Now i am already 23 with no Bf yet. I am feeling so weird, well ofcourse i am happy for them. But i am having this strange feelings right now.. I am still not ready to get married.. and they are having babies already. Things around me are moving so fast, i can't catch-up with it. Do you think i am too slow with the world? or am i not matured enough? I am still single and wanted to have more experience with life, but the people around me are already parents.

Take your time, there is no hurry. Most of my friends were getting married and having children in their early to mid 20's as well.
How many of them are still married to the same person, and happy? Not to many.
You will know when it is right for you. Don't let others influence you or pressure you to speed up. Like you said, they are moving too fast, you don't have to. Enjoy your life, you only get one! :)

Just because your friends are settling down with their little families doesn't mean you have to be. Enjoy life. You're young and single and in total control. I think if you were headed into your late 30's that would be something different. Enjoy your youth. I have a friend who is 31, no children, no boyfriend, doesn't want to get married yet. It's completely normal. Don't let the lives around you dictate where you should be in yours.

No no, you're perfectly fine. It was their decisions to get married and have children. It's not yours. Don't compare yourself and your actions based off of others, because then you'll only end up questioning yourself, like you're doing now. You're 23. You're still young. If you want to continue to experience life before you settle, then go on and live it up. There's nothing wrong with what you've decided.

Sounds to me like you know what you want and are on track. You said you are still single and want more experience in life. I am 33 with four kids, my "experiences" ended 9 years ago with the birth of my oldest child. Now my life experiences consist of fights and diapers. So I say do what you want and don't worry about keeping up with the Jones's.

You will know when the right guy comes along. In the mean time, enjoy your friend's children. You can spoil them rotten, feed them sweets and then give them back to Mom, and leave while they try unspoiling the kid.
At 23, your biological clock should still be winding itself, so don't start worrying.

It is much better to wait and have fun. It's okay to be a parent later in life it gives you more time to become a better person and achieve new things in you life. It will work out in the end.

If your friends jumped off a bridge would you???
I don't think so.
It is not fair to you or your friends to compare your lives. Every person is unique. If you want to experience different things than them go ahead and do it. Explore life. You will be glad you did.

Listen to me...
YOU'RE NOT ALONE!!!
I'm with you, and I know how strange it feels... Kind of makes you feel like an outcast, or like you're missing something, right?
All I can say is enjoy your independence until you find the right person for you... It could take days, years, or (hopefully not) decades...
I'm the same age as you... I hear ya!
