Does anyone want to be friends?

[angstyalways]

I understand how sad this thread title sounds but I'm in desperate need of some friends.
I'm pretty isolated and find it hard to put myself in situations were I can find lasting friendships.
A bit about me, I'm a sahm who homeschools 2 dc. Ds is 7 and has asd and dd is 3.
I have 2 dogs and a cat, I really like going on dog walks.
I don't really have any hobbies, I occasionally play sims, read all sorts of book genres, I like most genre movies, I'm not a particularly fitness fanatic but I do like walking.
So if anyone would like an online friend or someone to message and talk boring everyday rubbish with I'd love to get to know you.

I hope this doesn't come over as a pity thread, I'm sure many people have felt really isolated in these times to.

I'd be up for this too, great idea :-)

Love the idea of a whatsapp group provided what is said in whatsapp stays in whatsapp no am not Bojo
DM me OP cwtsh

Evening all, I've been so overwhelmed by all your amazing messages, I think I will set up a WhatsApp group, obviously this won't be anonymous. There doesn't seem to be a group chat feature on Mumsnet and I understand that there will be people who don't want others knowing their identity but if anyone would like to join in please feel free to dm me, I will share my number that way.
Be warned though it will be a group entirely for chatting shit, moaning, sending funny stuff and more moaning

By the way definitely no age limit, everyone is welcome.

@Miniestelle I’m not far from you, I’m South Yorkshire!

Okay all, WhatsApp group is set up and ready for natter and chatter

Can you DM on the app?

I don't think you can, I have to keep checking on safari

I’ve sent you a DM - looking forward to chatting

Sounds good. I like memes and moaning so sounds ideal. I have pm’d you op

Hi op.

I clicked on your thread and thought, “imagine she was local”, and you are!

I too am in SW wales, if you would like to PM me where abouts?

I’d love to join your WhatsApp group too please. I’ll DM you.

Hey, fellow yorkshire lass/lad lovely to hear from you, I live in glorious Hull. It's chucking it down at the moment here. What's the weather like your end?

@Miniestelle ahh I’m Sheffield and we have bipolar weather! Hammering it down one minute, glorious sunshine the next! Can I hang my washing out or not?! 😂

@Willwebebuyingnumber11
Ooh..thats risky, just checked the weather for Sheffield, I would say if you are in and there's a swift breeze, yes do it! If going out, dont be reckless. 😊

I'd love to join too, will message you

This WhatsApp chat is lovely if anyone's tempted

@Miniestelle I did it and they’re dry!!!
Join the WhatsApp!

I would love to join but you would all soon get pissed off with me cos I'm autistic and socially awkward 😂

Can I join to please?! Single mum of 4, dc aged from 20 to 1, one has asd and many other conditions, another one midway through assessment for asd, have a crazy elderly dog and a house rabbit, hardly any friends in real life so would be great to chat! X

Hi can I join too?
Married stay at home mum to 2, plus a dog.
Sounds like a great idea OP, please add me 😁

I’d like to join in pl#

The chat is alive and kicking people! Come join us!

I'm not in south wales, but I'd like a new friend.
I have adhd ds who sends me loads of dodgy memes
And asd/adhd dd. Who is quite hard work.
Feel free to dm if you haven't got enough offers?
I recently got my asd diagnosis too

Hey guys, a little late to the thread, but I'd like to join the group chat. I've got a grown up DD. I live in Scotland on my own - well with my two dogs and seem to spend most of my spare time walking them . I think I've got a pretty good sense of humour ... am I in?
