I need a friend, someone to share my moments with.

[hardeyjokey]

I need a friend, someone who is interested in forming a friendship bond with a stranger. The gender doesn't matter. I'll be 34 next month, single and not in any relationship, a single mother. Jobless (just finished msc and looking forward to starting PhD soon). I know I am where I should be right now but not having someone to share my moments with is not making things easy for me. When I get overwhelmed with worries and sadness, I cry myself ti I fall sick.

Pls message me if you'll like to be my virtual friend.

Hi not sure what to say except this isn't a dating site if that's what you are looking for? The best way to find friends on here is to join in and answer posts as well as put them up. That way others will be able to get to know you better.

Always be very careful when forming online friendships as people aren't necessarily who they present themselves as so stay safe online and never give your personal details out until you are sure of them. It's also a good idea to lock your posts to this community only for more privacy.

There have been scammers on here in the past (usually men) so take care. x

Thank you. I am not looking for a date or anything like that. I read people's post and comment when I feel connected to the post but generally I prefer a small circle, some set of people I'm connected with but I guess may be that is the reason for the loneliness I feel right now. Will try to pour my heart out more and ot confined myself to getting attached to a particular set. Thank you

Ok no worries x

Hi, wanting friends is completely human. We all need connection. This site is good, just see who you can support and let connections happen naturally. Another way to go about connection is to join a support group in real life. I like Codependents Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery.

Hi. I have my Masters in abnormal psychology and criminal psychology. I was in the FBI for over 25 years and security director at a well-known bank. I've been described as being a caring and good friend despite my career. Psychology only works through human connections. Due to my mental illness, human connections disappeared. To make this shorter, call on me. I will get back to you asap. I'm renovating my house so I haven't forgotten you. Talk to you soon, Marc.

[hardeyjokey in reply to Audiomarc1]

Wow.

[hypercat54 in reply to hardeyjokey]

Ha ha I thought exactly the same! x

[Audiomarc1 in reply to hardeyjokey]

It sounds like my former life is too extreme. Forget that, I'm a person like you who needs friends, talks to friends and needs a connection like you. I'm sorry if I provided too much of my past. I just wanted you to know you could count on me. I understand if you wouldn't want to be friends, but it was nice to hear that there are people like us. I hope you find someone good for you. Regards Marc

[Hidden in reply to Audiomarc1]

I think it wasn’t too much, just very unique background. May I ask, did your anxiety issues start prior to your career or during, after?

[Audiomarc1 in reply to Hidden]

It kept increasing over time until it became unbearable. It was decided that I could no longer work to my ability. It's funny it just increased without me really feeling it.

I can try to be your friend but I'm older..58

[hardeyjokey in reply to Standing4Hope]

Age is definitely not a barrier

[Hidden]

I'm here too. I'm 46,married with two children. You can count on me. 😊

[hardeyjokey in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. I am really blessed to be here

I’m soon to be done with my MSW and will put my research together for my PhD. This site is different than any other I’ve been on and I hope it stays this way. Everyone will share your moments. Get to know people. You’ll make friends.

I agree with lynnalice. Celebrate Recovery is a good place to meet a friend.

[hardeyjokey in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

Thank you

[AllTimeLow in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

Celebrate Recovery. What do you do at Celebrate Recovery?

Hello.I am in a similar boat, I moved from Calif to Sth. Carolina, thinking it would put me closer to England - that is where I was born and raised. I am older and retired so do not go out to work.I live in a senior community, people die and more away, my last friend just died last week. I feel so empty and alone, I have no one to talk to, I hate ti think of you trying yourself to sleep. I would be glad to talk to you, play some nice music try meditating one you get the hang of it, it is wonderful. Love yourself and treat yourself as your best friend. If you want to talk me My name if Sprinkle l. We can sort out phone numbers later. With Love.

[hardeyjokey in reply to Sprinkle1]

Thank you sprinkle, I will definitely get in touch.

Im 33. Also a single mom. Its very lonely. I have no friends anymore. I miss the friendships I use to have as a teen/ younf adult. I feel like making friend has always been so hard for me. Now especially. I've also given up social media which sometimes makes me feel a little disconnected. I know what you mean about wanting to share moments.

[AllTimeLow in reply to Whyami]

Yes, I've also had difficulty making friends. It's hard.

I feel like a lot of us have come to this site seeking some form of a friendship or connection. I myself am 24. I have friends in real life but I'm a bit antisocial. I don't drive and tend to keep to myself. I have adhd so it's weird because I'm hyper but feel like I annoy people so I kind of do my own thing and decline invites so I haven't really had a ton of "friends" since high school. Not that I talk to daily or on a regular basis about these sort of things anyways. Hence where the online support is being sought on. ( well I'm seeking it out at least). I'm in the same boat just younger I guess so not sure if I'm too young in comparison for most people on here
