I'm so lonley

I'm quite shy person and dont know how to start up interactions with other people. The other parents just ignore me completely if I say hello , so I have no other mums to hang with.

I had a bestie 3 months ago who I did everything for, she really did take the opportunity to use my kind nature because I was scared of losing her because that would mean I'd end up lonely, so I let her do what she wanted and she had a short temper so I walked on egg shells in her company. She would sometimes try to cause arguments with me but I buckled down so I wouldnt lose her.
But one evening her fridge broke down she texted me about it and I texted back immediately. She didnt like my reply she said ( I just asked your fridge is packed? When she texted me " my fridge is packed) after not replying to my text for 20 min. Meanwhile I was busy putting my kid to bed.

She had a bloody go at me for not texting her any further about her fridge, and I told her sorry I put my son to bed...what more does she wants?

And then she went on and on ranting how selfish I am ( very rich coming from her when everyone has seen her treatment of me and shes being really selfish about things) and when I asked if she needed to borrow my fridge she just called me stupid and no longer wants to be friends with me.

I just stopped texting her back, because what's the use? She just ended our friendship because of her fridge.

Still 3 months on I'm pissed off with this. She was after all my sons godmother and she has never talked to him again. And my son is always asking about her .

Im shocked and distraught that friendships can be so fickle. Shes ended many other friendships during our time but I didnt expect this. If her fridge had not broken down this would never have happened and we still be hanging out.

I'm angry at her the most that she has hurted my sons feelings , and didnt even contact him on his birthday ( because she hates me he suffers) ....no apologies for overreacting ( she does it alot) or no messages to explain.

I have zero people in my life now. My son got only friends when in school but nobody talks to me and I'm too shy and I think nobody wants to be my friend with me anyway. I miss adult interaction and get tired of talking about kids stuff everyday.

I always feared this would happen that I would end up all alone and it has now happened it makes me so low and down in the gutter that i feel like what's the point in living if this is my life and future?

I really miss having people in my life but nobody likes me

I'm sure people will like you if they get to know you.

Can you have a look at meetup.com?

Your friend doesn't sound very nice.
Wait till lockdown ends I'm sure you'll find plenty of others to talk to once we open up again Thanks

It was never a real friendship if she was just using you :-( You need to find someone kind and genuine otherwise you're really better off alone. It sounds like you may have quite low self esteem, I wonder if you could get some help with that? If you can get some more confidence and self esteem it might make it easier to meet people and make sure they are nice enough to be a real friend. It's not easy at the moment with lockdown to do anything but in the future the more you get out the more opportunity you have to potentially meet people who can become friends. Do you have any family that you can call and lean on a bit when you are feeling lonely? xxx
