[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm struggling with this too. Moved about a year ago to a new community and thought I had developed friendships. They were totally outside of my kids' schools, which are oddly closed off here. Invited people over, invited people out, etc. But then post after post on FB of people getting together without me made me realize they weren't my friends. They were just accepting invitations. So regrouping now and trying to figure out how to start over in this new community. It's just bizarre to me that I'm a 40s woman with no friendships. Never thought that would happen. [/quote]

Are you still in the DC area? I've been here 30 years and friends are very hard to come by. Compare this to the fact that I'm originally from the North East and still feel very close to people I went to high school with, even if we weren't friends then. Were it not for them and for my family up there, I would feel much more lonely then I already do. Add to that, as a PP said, when there's a lot of traumatic events, health or otherwise, around you and with you, the anxiety can be completely paralyzing at time.[/quote]
