[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you all alone? why don't you have a support group in your life?[/quote]

OP here and I actually don't know why I don't have many friends left anymore.  It just seems like we all got so busy and just lost touch.  I am currently single and never had children so maybe that adds to it but I never felt so alone until this morning.  I enjoy spending time by myself and don't actually feel lonely - just alone in the world.  [/quote]

I only ask because I tend to not keep in touch with friends. I have lots of acquaintances... but my best friend said to me that I had to promise to be her friend through thick and thin... she does not have any sisters and her boys would marry some day. She said we need to create a support group. We need to be there for each other when our parents get old and our husbands eventually get sick and die (which they will most likely do before us). It was a moment where I realized I needed to step out, make myself available to others...  I needed to be there for others because I might need them some day. I am very self sufficient but it made me think.

So I probably can't really handle a who village of friends but since then I have made an effort to be a good friend to a few small group of friends and in return, I find they are there for me.

Who knew...  :D  [/quote]
