Feeling lonely. No friends and I don’t go out unless it is to work or to the gym. My best friend died 3 years ago and has left a huge hole in my life. Is there anyone who would be my friend?

I’m sorry about your friend. My beloved friend died very suddenly of aneurism and after two years, I still miss her terribly. It must be really hard but I don’t know if online friend can replace IRL friends. Is there any social groups local to you that you could join? Is there any socialising you could join through your work?

@spanktastic so sorry to hear that. Hope you have some support in your life.

I'm happy to talk with you, I lost my mother a year ago so I know how you feel x

@MumCanIHaveASnackPlease @Faranth Thank you both. I am fine. I just miss a friend. It would be great to find someone I can be open and honest with about all aspects of my life.

@Panterusblackish thank you. I still miss her every day. It doesn’t help that I lost my mum the year after as well
