Lonely
I have been SO lonely lately. I feel like I don’t have any friends, and the ones I do rarely call me or want to get together. I’m not close with anyone anymore. I know it was a mess sometimes, but I really miss the Ron-Jerry-Jeff days. I had 3 BFFs and we hung out all the time and did fun things. I just feel so unloved, unappreciated, ignored, and like I don’t fit in anywhere. I so badly want a group of friends but I can’t seem to break through.

It’s SO hard, isn’t it? <3 I feel this way most of the time. Even amongst my “peers” i feel like an outsider. I don’t have any sage advice, but you’re not alone alone.
I think that making new friends is one of the most challenging parts of adulthood. And that sucks because meaningful relationships make life a little more pleasant. I empathize; I really do. But I don’t have any good advice.
I suggested to William, who was struggling with a dearth of friends, that he enroll in an art class. He signed up for pottery and has since been making plenty of bowls but no friends.
He’s finally meeting some friendly people at his work, so that’s cool.
Hang in there. It’ll get better.
Sorry you’re lonely. Long distance hugs!
Maybe the online dating will help. I actually found a couple of friends online too. Friendships need time to grow but it might be a start and hopefully you’ll feel less alone. *hugs*
I understand completely. *hugs* too bad we don’t live closer.
I am with you. Very frustrating and sad at times. Like MWAC, I have no real advice, but when I am really honest with myself I realize that part of the reason I only have friendly acquaintances vs. actual friends is because I do not invest the time needed to nuture the relationship or I do not give of myself fully. I always hold back parts of the real me. Maybe it is a trust issue on my part, who knows.
Shelly!! Remember … I’m going to get to meet you soon. +2 new friends because you’re going to meet the husband too
Actually, we’ve had to ax our Pikes Peak plans due to the fires. But I’m going to be at Red Rocks to see Skrillex. Want to go?
Shelly It’s me (Digitalslashes). You haven’t posted in ages. Are you OK? x
@VixMoonWalker - Hi, yes, I’m ok. I keep thinking back on those days when I used to think I was busy, and then I laugh, because I had no idea what busy was. Hope I didn’t make you worry. I’m fine, and I’ll try to squeeze out a post today.
