Im so lonely

[Potnoodledoo]

Just that.I need friends.I need time out.Im just so sad,

I have tried to make friends.But im such a weirdo.Other people have long standing friendships.Im alright with them,but in wider groups i dont have a hope.

I need friends that i can go out with.

Why dont all of you mumsnet lonely folk exchange mobile numbers and get chatting ?. Or do a bit of charity shop work even if its just a couple of hours a week.

You say you’re a weirdo.....why do you say that? What makes you weird?

Oh God I’m the same. I dread the weekends because at least during the week I have people at work to see and talk to.
Just a few short years ago I had a very busy social life but things change and now I just feel so bloody lonely sometimes

You could feign an interest in dowsing
Lots of groups up and down the country and they really are lovely people
Gets you out and about to sacred sites. There’s always a knowledgeable leader, so you’ll learn things about earth energies dowsing for water etc, ley lines, negative energy lines and so much more

You don’t even have to know how to dowse
Someone will be only to happy to teach
Because we are like that
I’ve taught loads of people to dowse
We are a bit weird like that

There you go, thank you

All our meet ups are on weekends
This weekend my gross at Castle ring stone circle in the lakes
We didn’t go because I feared the weather might be awful
Wasn’t wrong there

Gross ...huh
Group

Ok,any Dublin mns want to meet up/

Where do you live. I'm in Mid Wales and I also feel lonely and would love to have friendships. I have joined a few things but as people are so busy it takes forever to forge any kind of friendship. I dont have children and I missed out on making friends that way. Meet up groups are non existent round here.

I feel similar. I lost school friends because I was one of very few people to move away to uni. Uni friends I lost because I switched courses and my friends stayed on the initial specialist course and I couldn't keep up. I had a friend from work but she moved away. I have/had an NCT group here but I feel like I'm being pushed out by them. I'm rubbish at talking to people I don't know and everybody here seems to have groups of friends from school/uni (I'm in a different city to the one I grew up in and the one I went to uni in). I just feel so lonely and don't want my children to grow up to be like this. I don't feel like I have the time and freedom to join groups at the moment either which won't help.

@bonitakitlee Im in Dublin

Potnoodledo. If you ever want to PM to chat your always very welcome. Maybe we could build up a pen pal friendship.
