In short, I'm 35, work full time and am about to have my first child. But at the moment i feel quite lonely and am wondering whether making new friends at this age is actually possible??
I've been to university (twice) but always seem to make the wrong friendship choices - people seem to 'use' me when they have problems and drop me when they are happy. I have some great work colleagues but they're not true friends. I think I'm quite a nice person, interested in lots of things so feel I do have something to offer in the friendship stakes.
I've joined some online parenting groups and have tried night classes but to no avail. So I am just wondering, is it unreasonable to hope that there are people out there who aren't already in tight cliques etc etc? An I just too old to make new friends?
I'm wondering whether to just give up and settle for enjoying my own company....
