[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get it; many of us have gone through lonely spells at one point or another. It’s good to acknowledge it and work on it. Not everyone has a job, neighborhood, or house of worship that connects them into great relationships.

So you’re going to have to find things to do that connect you to people. Not every activity will be a winner, and not every relationship will develop into a deep friendship, but you have to get out there, almost as if you were dating. You could try art classes, writing courses, or fitnesses classes. There are MeetUp groups for parents, couples, affinity groups, professional groups, and those who work from home. You can volunteer with your neighborhood, your children’s school(s), and/or your community. Hell, even Twitter can be great for meeting people IRL; I know I’ve connected with a lot of people that way who are now dear friends. If old friends aren’t coming to you, then you need to go out to meet new friends. It’s good life practice, really.[/quote]
