No friends

[nikkinoodle123]

I stumbled across a previous post from about 5 years ago whilst asking Google why I have no friends, that prompted me to join and start a new post.

I am 33, I have 2 sons, I work part time and maintain a home but I am so lonely and saddened by the fact I have 'no friends'. Don't get me wrong I have a number of people i say hi to if I spot them over the other side of the bar, but the problem is I have nobody to go to the bar with and it's really getting me down.

I dream of having a few girl friends who I can go for coffee with or shopping etc but I have nobody and I am so lonely.

Is anyone else in the same boat? I just feel that no matter what I do, nobody likes me. I'm never invited out anywhere, mums at school don't speak to me as I'm not in their click. People at work include me but we don't see each other out of work as we are just colleagues.

Surely there has to be more to life than sitting around dwelling that you are completely alone, but the truth is it is soul destroying.

He will be one next month, can’t believe how fast it’s gone! I’m in Everton, how about you? I did a lot of walking into town during the summer and I have a park very close by so went there most days. Now the weather is rubbish it’s difficult getting out and about! Swimming and the library have been a savior as has the supermarket for a tootle round in the trolley!!

Ooooh I support Everton hahaha but I don't live nearby. I'm in Formby so about half hour ish away from you do you drive? There are loads of places like Farmer Teds soft play etc and of course we have the beach here (too cold at moment but lovely in summer) x

I’ve heard farmer teds is meant to be good, haven’t been with him yet but will do next summer when the weather picks up again!
I don’t think I’ve been to formby, lived in Liverpool for about 6 years but I’m hopeless at knowing where anywhere is!! I still need the sat nav to get to my local asda!!

Yeah I don't have any friends. Or kids. And I'm single.

I have one friend, but she lives quite distant, so I see her maybe once every 3 months for a couple hours. And I'm very aware of another friend she has locally who is always tagging her as "bestie" this and that, so I am very much on the edge.

My social life for all of 2018 has been:

1. April: Night in London with ex's work (then got dumped!)
2. July: Birthday bash for above friend (but I don't cope well in big social situations so it was quite hard going for me)
3. Last week: Christmas drinks for a gym class I attend (I drove so was only there a short while) and then works Christmas meal with colleagues (again, drove so had dinner and left)

That's it. Genuinely. I should be footloose and fancy free, but I have done nothing else socially all year.

I've seen my immediate family recently and won't see them again till January when we get together for a belated Christmas. I'm not expecting to see anyone else till January now (apart from the postie, shop workers etc).

Difficult making new friends isn’t it?! The two I saw over the weekend, I’ve only seen them once more this year that’s it.
I’m trying to make an effort getting out and about with the baby but making friends just isn’t happening!
I know what you mean, I hate big social events, birthday parties etc, I get so worked up and dread going.

Farmer Teds is ok if you don't mind hundreds of screaming kids haha! Its about 10 mins from mine x

Hi ya are there any new mum’s that live in Hampshire?
