[quote=Anonymous]So you've really had some terrific advice which I'll sum up as 1. get off social media, its a negative space 2. invite people to lots of things, keep at it 3. get to know other new people in the same boat I want to add a couple of things. The first thing is that I have my friendships based around a particular interest of mine that only I do - I don't do it with DH or either of my kids (teens). So it's not feeding into big group activity with families, but it is satisfying my need for friendship and commonality. The second thing is to watch your demeanor when meeting new people. If you're feeling lonely, it is easy to weigh too much into an interaction and place too much hope it will develop into a close friendship. I've done this and I see many other people doing it too. If you're more relaxed and see it as a long-term project you will come across as more confident (even when you're not) and that is more attractive to people when it comes to making friends.[/quote]
