Everyone always says to me, "you really should think about getting on the property ladder" - when I can't afford to, or "are you worried you won't have children" - when I'm praying I meet someone I will have a family with etc. I'm staying positive but feel negative about myself when they say stuff like that to me. It makes me feel down. They joke that I will have to go to a sperm bank - I don't want that. I have so many Godchildren now, I'm wondering whether I keep getting this role because they never expect me to have a life.I'm a popular person but I don't like how I'm feeling at the moment. Please help me.

 Honey, the people who care about you and ask you those things don't realize that it's hurting you.
You need some snappy comebacks.
As for meeting someone new, you gotta go out , get out of your routine, learn to play a new instrument, take a cooking class... I guarrantee you'll meet new people and feel tons better about yourself.
Cause if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll just keep getting what you always got.

You mentioned you pray for a good relationship. I assume you are a believer, so you know it's all in God's time. He has a plan for you!
And usually it's when you least expect it, that good things happen.
Good Luck and God Bless!
