It's kind of embarrassing to admit but I don't really have any friends. I really do want friends though and am very lonely most of the time. I try to make connections with people but I live quite rurally and a lot of people either stick to the friend group they've had since school, socialise with family or have friends though mum and baby groups etc. Unfortunately none of these things are an option for me.
I've always been told from a young age that you shouldn't invite yourself along to things as it's rude, and that if someone wants you at something they will invite you. However after a recent conversation I'm wondering if I should start asking to join in with things? Maybe people just don't realise that I would like to join in? Or is that just wishful thinking and I will look annoying and desperate if I try to insert myself into other people's stuff? Wibu?
