On one hand, I think it’s crazy that society has expectations of 20 and 30 year olds that the only thing to live for / move towards is for a job, spouse, family, etc. and that we can’t get excited over little joys. So I say I totally feel for you, you need to reevaluate your connection with this “friend,” and moreover you shouldn’t pay too much attention to what other people say and think. On the other, though, if you yourself are not happy with certain elements of your life, be it education, occupation, marital status / partnership, fitness and lifestyle, etc. or what have you, then you should start thinking of ways to seek help from a professional to get your emotions in order and start making a game plan to work on yourself and change for the better. Good luck!

Hey OP! Don’t worry about it! I’m 38M and for my 37th B-Day, my wife booked a party at a local Lego store where they throw parties for kids. Even as an adult, I loved it. Many thought it was weird, but even my friends loved it. Don’t be afraid to do things others might deem childish. If it’s not hurting anyone, don’t be afraid to do the things that give you that kid-like wonder. All adults need a break from adulting, and what you did didn’t hurt anyone, so eff the haters. They can enjoy their stressed out heart attacks. It’s called “live a little”

Little things like that make me happy, single or not. Don't let miserable assholes get you down. Keep enjoying the little things in in life.

People suck. you know who sucks the worst? Husbands. Just read all the FMLs.
