Almost no relationships with anyone

[Enigmafluff]

That’s about it. Other then my teenage dd, I have almost no meaningful relationships.
im a single mim, parents passed away, distant relationship with sister and no local friends. I’ve tried joining groups to make new friends but it doesn’t work for me. I’ve contacted friends I used to see and not got much back. work colleague are ok but nothing much in common and definitely wouldn’t socialise.
When dd leaves home in a few years, I can imagine that most of my weekends will be completely solitary. I just feel so alone and hopeless.

Aww! Keep trying ! You haven't found your tribe! I went for a countryside walk and found a group of people fully dressed up as the middle ages doing some sort of cos play! There is a group for everyone! Especially if you are looking for friends and company. Have you tried the Ramblers? Walking and talking in the countryside! Really nice days out.

What groups have you tried?
Do you like the outdoors, what about walking groups and have you tried Bumble BFF? I've got a really lovely friend from there with a great connection.

Work? Volunteer? Gym classes? It takes a lot of effort to make and keep genuine friendships.
The people who are in their 50s and over with friends for years have overlooked SO many issues and they keep in touch weekly on social media and meet up a few times a year. It includes effort to host or money spent on traveling to see them and inviting them to things.
You could get a a dog if you like them. Some people bonded over this with other dogwalkers. I think running clubs have a reputation for being social (park runs).
It's hard if you have a personality that is so introverted or suffer from a mental illness that makes social relations are difficult but you aren't alone in your situation. Keep meeting new people and making an effort.

Thanks for the replies. The gym is a possibility.
id quite like a dog but work full time & can’t afford to pay for day care so not possible.
