Anyone want to be my friend? I literally have no friends.

I'm so lonely. :(

I'm near Preston too! :-D

catgirl1976 · 28/11/2012 22:15

There are lots of NW people here...........including me

I used to live in Norwich Tickle if that counts :)

TheReturnOfBridezilla · 28/11/2012 22:21

Beyond I'm not a million miles away from you. Smile

Rachog · 28/11/2012 22:24

Another friendless woman :( another northwest one, close to Liverpool. My best friend moved away, far far away....

3monkeys · 28/11/2012 22:31

Whereabouts are the people close to Liverpool? Wouldn't mind a little coffee one day!

Flojo1979 · 28/11/2012 22:35

I'm near Preston too!
How strange I was beginning to think I was alone out here. I'm in Chorley.

Flojo1979 · 28/11/2012 22:35

Oh I think we need a NW coffee meet!

tipsycat · 28/11/2012 22:37

Another NW one here, close to Ormskirk. I'm up for a meet up if anyone else is.

Kafri · 28/11/2012 22:37

Hi Flojo - I'm Chorley too.

disparatefishwife · 28/11/2012 22:38

I'm a West Country dumpling

whathasthecatdonenow · 28/11/2012 22:39

East Lancashire here. Lost most of my friends when I was ill - they are all around the country now and I get emails and cards and that is it. Have work 'friends' but they aren't really friends.

Flojo1979 · 28/11/2012 22:40

Hi kafri so glad to see I'm not alone!
Count me in for a meet up, I don't mind travelling

OpheliaBumps · 28/11/2012 22:40

I'm NW too, Chester, also slightly lacking in the friend department, I'd love to meet for a coffee.

Zombiewoodyallenjesus · 28/11/2012 22:43

Oh my word, I am NorthWest too, Preston area. Didn't think there were any othermumsnetters up here :)

Flojo1979 · 28/11/2012 22:45

How everyone fixed for days/times/travelling etc?
I'm quite busy with the run up to Xmas but being busy doesn't stop me feeling lonely.
I'm a single mum too so even more lonely.

Flojo1979 · 28/11/2012 22:46

zombie I thought that too. There was no one else on the lonely MNers Facebook page in my area.

Zombiewoodyallenjesus · 28/11/2012 22:50

Didn't even realise there was a FB page Grin

Flojo1979 · 28/11/2012 22:51

I don't know how to link, and probably can't on phone anyway. FB page has been quiet of late anyway.

WhoWhatWhereWhen · 28/11/2012 22:54

Last year on the run up to Christmas I had no invites to any parties and was facing Xmas on my own, i was so miserable.

This year I had to turn down a party invite because I've got four to go to and I have invites for xmas day & boxing day & NYE, the only thing that has changed is I've started joining clubs and college courses and doing volunteer work

Give it a go, good luck OP

lovebunny · 28/11/2012 22:56

surely its normal not to have friends?

TheWombat · 28/11/2012 23:02

Ooh, lots of Devon dumplings! :)
Would lovea friendship group for dumplings Grin

MerryCunnyFuntingChristmas · 28/11/2012 23:07

Same here :( since settling down very young I've drifted far away from my friends. I'm 21 and my friends have all gone to uni, are out drinking and partying every other night and have forgotten about me. I moved in with DP and the in laws at 17, 10 months later we got a mortgage and our house, now have a 17 month old daughter and a rescue greyhound and no friends :(

We're hopefully getting married in 2014 and I'd love a big wedding with loads of friends and family there but of course, no friends.

I am starting to think I'm the only mner from the midlands! I'm destined to spend the rest of my days friendless sob

It might not be abnormal, but I don't think it's preferable. Most humans enjoy having close bonds/friends.
