Am I just being silly?

Hello everyone, new to this space. So I don’t have a lot of adult friends in my area because embarassing thing to say and understand if people are judgmental but when I was in my 20s and early 30s (am 41 now) I was a real idiot, put men before friends, lot of unhealthy toxic behaviour that caused me to lose a lot of my friends and I had some real good friends. But anyway long long story, sorted myself out eg sought help, etc and a much better person now but I don’t have many friends and my DP says I’m really sociable make people laugh, light up a room etc etc. But maybe it’s just me, people by now have probably got their friendships already in place eg ride or die besties etc and probably don’t want more friends, but I suppose what I’m trying to say is I would like to meet more friends eg who can spend time with on Saturdays when our DPs are busy, to whinge about the kids, eg to have cocktails and share funny stories with. It’s gotten me quite down recently because I try probably too hard and I do have some friends eg mum friends and one friend which I usually spend time with monthly, but just wish there was more opportunities. Sorry I’m going about this a bit of a long winded way. But is there anyone out there really can suggest anything, I don’t mind talking to anyone, I have an 8 yr old daughter who’s developed in to a tween overnight lol and am a software developer by trade and am a bit of a geek eg like Lego (engineering for adults I call it) and disney, have probably watched every single box set in creation lol, movie buff but like girly things like shopping dates, coffee and just girly chat. Just wondering if anyone is out there? I live in south wales too ☺️. Forgive me if I’m going about this the wrong way.

Sorry I can’t help I’m not in wales but thought I would reply to help boost some responses. Is there any groups or hobbys you could join?

Hello @WelshMamaDev ,
I'm not in Wales either. I am planning a meetup and chitchat in my area. It's such a shame you're not in my town.

Have you checked out your local council or college? Sometimes they have activities or classes where you can join and meet new people. What about the gym?
Please be patient; someone might see your post.

So weird, I was just going to post something like this. Im only 28 and have no friends loool. Very similar to you, put toxic relationship before friends, though the friends I did have werent great tbh. I really want to meet new people but feels everyone in my area just... doesnt? They have their cliques and im just not welcome. They're all a little older than me too, which really doesnt bother me at all as I have much older workmates at my job. But they just don't seem to have space for me.

Im currently exiting a really awful relationship as well, and could really use a friend/friends. I made my bed and now I have to lie in it i guess.

Im also not in Wales, sorry. Would appreciate even an online friend at this point though. Sad I know.

Hope you get to find some friends soon, you sound like a cool person!

I cant help at the min feel sad about loneliness for myself at times and others.
Some people seem to be surrounded by people but so many of us feel lonely in some way.

Same here. Lost old friends.

Had an issue with people who I thought were best friends and new mum friends just don’t have the same vibe. I’m starting to feel really isolated.
