I have no friends

Just that really. I have realised during lockdown I have no-one to talk to.
My old friends have either lost contact with me or don't seem to want to know (I always reach out to them and they don't seem interested in maintaining a friendship).
I don't know if it's me. I used to have friends but none of them seemed interested in maintaining the friendship (after eg university) when it was no longer convenient.
I don't know why I'm posting this really, I'm feeling pretty low about it right now.

I’m in the same boat. Thought I had some friends at work but I had to shield and by the end of the first month everyone just stopped contacting me. I tried to keep it going but got no response so gave up. Doesn’t help I’m single and own my house rather than still living with parents.
I spend my days just watching tv especially as am back shielding again. My phone just is a tool to surf the web.
I’d like the group link if anyone is willing to share it. Just so tired of being totally alone.

Hi everyone, I hope your all well.

It’s awful sitting on a Saturday night with DHs phone going off with a txt and I havnt had one in over a year from a friend.

Could I get the link too please

@16Glj00711 I would be up for a WhatsApp group.

Anyone else interested?

I'd like the link too please! Lockdown has really shone a light on my friendships too as others have said. Loneliness can be absolutely crippling

Great! I think whoever starts it only has to have one other number on it. Then you could create a link then we could post it and anyone could join who wants to. Simples 🤔 Happy to start it tomorrow once I work out how to set up the link 😬

2orangey · 16/01/2021 22:48

@16Glj00711 sounds good! WhatsApp is better for me as I don't use Facebook.

Georgeclooneysnextwife · 16/01/2021 23:00

Hi, please could I have the link and would like to join the whatsapp as well if it gets set up, thanks!

Glj00711 · 17/01/2021 10:06

I’m going to set up a Whatapp group today. I just need one persons phone number to create a group then I can post the link on this thread. If anyone wants to PM me there number I can start. I can’t seem to work out how to do it without a number. Just going out for a bike ride with the family then I will set it up when I get back.

OliviaBean · 17/01/2021 10:14

I'll PM you now..

I am another one. Bought a puppy to fill the void. Used to have a few close friends in the uni days years ago, but life moves on and you go off in different directions.

Can I have the Link too please x

Yummycakeandcoffee · 02/07/2021 22:47

Ah im sorry your all feeling like this 🌺
Im also feeling same. I literally have joined groups with my son but never make any friends. I am quite shy but I try and nothing comes from it!
Id love to have a few friends I can chat to and have a walk and a natter, glass of wine. All my friends moved away or abroad or just dropped me. Makes me feel rubbish and quite sad if honest.

How do you all manage feeling like this as I do get quite upset often when I ask my partner he says but your so kind and caring I dont actually understand. How do people keep their friends and have an amazing socail life?
How are you doing now has it got better? What is the link mentioned in this thread.thank you
