No social life and feeling lonely

[LonelySal]

Can we have a thread for those of us without much or any social life ?

I have a few friends , but some of those have faded after covid. Others just seem one sided. I feel lonely and a bit sorry for myself.

DH went out tonight with his big group of pals, which I'm happy for him about. But it does add to my feeling is of being a loner.

Anyone else feel this way?

I have to admit I have Covid so not feeling great.

I think a lot of people feel like this I know I do! Sorry you have covid, I do too and feel pretty rubbish tbh. Hope you feel better soon

I've heard Covid can make you emotional so maybe it's partly that

It was my birthday last week and apart from family I had no cards or birthday wishes. But my twin sister went out with her friends which was all over IG (she lives far away so I didn't see her).

It's weird , I'd love all those friends in one way , but I just find it all such a minefield and effort. Is is something that some people just find easy and others don't?

I have no social life, I am a single parent and have my kids full time so never get a chance! I haven’t been out in about 10 years so it’s not just you!
