Hello
I am so incredibly lonely. I’m going through a divorce right now. I have two teenagers who enjoy spending time in their rooms playing video games or with their friends and it’s like pulling teeth trying to get them to spend time with me these days. I used to have friends, but no longer have any. I’ve tried to go to meetup events and people are cliquey or unreceptive. Everyone but me has friends. I don’t get why it’s so hard. I’m friendly, attentive, have good social skills, can hold a conversation, nothing out of the ordinary for me. I don’t have issues meeting men who want to date, but I need something more than that. I want genuine friendships. Weekends are depressing. I was going through pics of myself recently and sadly realized that I don’t have any of myself that aren’t selfies. No fun get togethers, no exciting events, nothing. I know I can go do things by myself, but that just doesn’t seem motivating or appealing. I know that’s something I’ll have to overcome though if I’m to get through what seems like never ending loneliness. Anyhow, I’m going through it at the moment. Just wanted to vent to others who can relate. :(
