People 25 and Over Only! Why are some people more interested in my love life/living arrangements that I am?

Extended family members, friends and even co-workers love to pry into my life and find out what I do in the department of love. Lol. I don't get bothered about this, but when I am completely honest by telling people that I am happy being single, and will be for the foreseeable future, it's almost as if they get offended. "What do you want to be alone your entire life?" Says a divorced women who is living in sin with a married man. "You need to get a life, it must be so boring! I bet you are a virgin right?" Says the girl who cheats on her husband. LOL, they don't know that I haven't even had my first kiss yet, but I could only imagine what they would say.It might even be that they are jealous of my life because I have no worries concerning intimate relationships. Also, I have very few bills as I still live at home because I have a very close family that encourages that, and I have simply no reason to move out.Your thoughts are appreciated.

If you're over 25, still living at home, and don't have any kind of romantic relationship in your life, more often then not people ask you questions like this because they're either 1) trying to figure out if you might be gay ; 2) they're concerned that you're ill or that there's something wrong in your life ; 3) they think your a freeloader on your parents and are trying to shame you into getting your own life. Jealousy probably doesn't figure into it at all. And if you don't want people prying, stop answering they're questions. Just tell them it's nothing they should be concerned with.
