No close friends

Ok so I admit my anxiety and depression isn't the best at the moment but I just feel so sad lately with the fact I have no close friends. It's difficult to explain, I have lots of friends but I just feel like I'm nobody's go to friend if that makes sense? I feel so silly feeling like this because I'm mid thirties with a lovely husband and 3 children. I just rarely get invited anywhere and when I do I just feel a bit awkward and out of the click these days. Please tell me I'm not the only one 😩

I'm up for it but wouldn't know how to create it and keep it private would you?

You can create a private FB group so people who aren't in the group can't see the messages or the members. I've done it before. It's pretty easy. You just need an admin to let the original posters in. They could tell you their names on here by DM and then you can tell them the FB group name and admit them.

Not just you, I don't really have a reliable close friend I can call on if I want to go socialise, albeit I do have groups of less close friends from internet groups that make quite a good network. I don't mind too much from an emotional standpoint but it does make me a bit sad there's probably no one who would, say, drop everything to help me in a crisis or who I can just call casually for a drink.

And then they cancel the day before or ghost you on the day only to send an apology text the next week ‘saying so sorry I forgot were we supposed to meet’ 🤦🏻‍♀️. I’m tired of doing all the running in friendships / acquaintances.
