[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I just want to let you know that I have had the very same experience you're having.  It is really horrible.  I know this doesn't help you to solve the problem.  I'm sorry I don't have any good advice.  Sending good thoughts your way.[/quote]

OP here.  I am sorry to hear you are going through this.  What has worked for you so far?  Did you eventually make friends?[/quote]

Well, yes and no.  On a few occasions, I made friends, but eventually everyone moved away or they stopped working in the same office and seemed to forget about me.  I am apparently very "out of sight out of mind."  I now have a child and I get a little more interaction because of play dates, but overall I am still incredibly lonely.  After all the effort, all the reaching out without reciprocation, I have mostly given up.

FWIW, I think a huge part of this is that my DH and I have virtually no family contact.  So we never have family dinners, weddings, holiday gatherings, birthday parties for cousins, etc etc.  I think for people with big families, that can fill half their social time, and then when you add in even a small number of "friends" outings, it seems like they are alway engaged.  I am so incredibly jealous of people with strong family social networks.  It will never happen for me and it makes me sad for my child, too.

I feel like I am being a real downer.  I'm sorry, this is probably the opposite of helpful![/quote]
