My god how frustrating to have none to talk too .. I have no mates and I'm always there if family need anything even just a phone call when they need rant or chat but soon as i would like someone to check in with me .. nothing at all even when they can see i need it

Difficult at the moment, but I'd suggest joining something when you can - book club, sewing or knitting group, dance class or group, walking group. People are usually quite friendly but you have to get yourself out there. I say this as someone who has made some major house moves in my time.

Try churches, even though lots of things are online you might meet similar people. Good luck to you, being lonely is awful.

It is very hard at the moment. I normally make friends through hobbies - I found martial arts very friendly and good for meeting people.

I made a few female friends when I joined a gym and through one of them met my husband. More recently I joined a pilates class and the teacher turned out to be the partner of a pub friend of my husband. We do quite a lot if other things together now and are good friends. I think, when we are allowed, you just need to get out there. You may or may not make friends in any particular group (I found one womens group spectacularly unfriendly) but you probably won't meet anyone in your own house. The exception being online church groups as pp said.
