Feeling so lonely I may attend an MLM zoom event tonight.

My DH is pissed at me and I don't really have any friends. I'm thinking of attending this MLM event that someone I know is starting just for the company. I may even buy something. I feel sad and pathetic.

Dont do it. You will feel even worse when that crap comes in the mail.

Can you afford it? Or will you be getting yourself into financial trouble too? If you can afford it, then it’s fine. But after this zoom, look for other ways to connect with people!

OP, I hear you. My DH isn't even mad at me but I always feel like I don't have any friends. I don't know why adult friendships are so hard. I feel like I know a million women and we like each other, but I can't think of one who I could hop on the phone with for a little while or invite out for a socially distanced walk. And I even miss the forced socializing from my old office because at least I could trick myself into feeling like I had a social life. So I definitely get going to an MLM event for the company!

Why is he mad at you? Start there.

A bunch of lonely women trying to sell each other anti-aging cream via Zoom during a pandemic is some serious dystopian sh*t. And I’m not knocking lonely women—I get the temptation. But can you find a book club or something?

I tried to start a bookclub years ago with people I know. . . it fizzled out after a couple of meetings. Maybe I should find an online one with people I don't know.

Same boat OP. I was so desperate I talk to the telemarketers and survey-takers who call me. Sigh.

OP, would you be open to taking a Zoom (or Google meetings or whatever) class?

You won't make best buddies necessarily but could get interaction and engage your mind. It's a great distraction from the pandemic, and could give you new things to thing about. Plus, having something for which you have to do some prep work during the week--reading, writing, etc. -- is another added distraction and engagement.

I'm taking a six-week class -- once a week for 2 and a half hours -- through one of the DC theaters, because in normal times we're big on theater. (Not an acting class, more of a literature/culture class, and the instructor makes it as interactive as possible!)

Think about what interests you and start searching for classes, perhaps? Bear in mind I'm not talking about enrolling at some local college for online courses that last a semester or whatever; just look for four-, six-, ten-week live classes that interest you. There are more out there than ever.

Just a thought, in case you're interested. It's not free, of course, if that's an issue, but it is probably a better use of money than feeling you must spend on some unneeded item to support an MLM.
