Lonely

Hi all, just feel very lonely, feel like everyone has friends except me, I know their apps n all that to make friends, but I feel like that a desperate measure. People have friends from school days ect, but no connection. I honestly believe, if I had friend/friends my life would be normal. Need to feel normal, need friends , good night god bless.

It’s really hard to make friends after our school days. Usually ppl make a friend or two at work but what if you’re not working ? I often feel lonely. I have one or two neighbours who I’ve tried to make connections with. You can’t force it but you must try. One thing that’s helped the most is having my rescue dog. I have to get out of the house and ppl come up to say hello to him. In fact any friends I’ve made and still have are thru having my boy. My dog friends. Most aren’t close friendships but it is someone to meet up with which helps get me out of the house and into nature (the great healer).

Meet-up is a great site filled with groups. Seems there’s some special interest group for almost anything— prob even loneliness or making new friends— or think of something you enjoy like watching films or rambling or eating Indian cuisine. There will be a meet-up group for it!
