Struggling to Make Friends: Any Advice?

HippieGarbage

does anyone else find it extremely hard to make friends? I have 0. on a daily I only speak to my partner (mostly about their work or bills), my kids & maybe my mother (mostly about her work or I'm venting about my kids driving me crazy) I have no actual friends I talk to, or hang out with. How can I fix this?

      I am the same, I have no friends, just my partner and my roommate. It's lonely. All of you seem to need someone to talk to just as much as I do. I'm always happy to talk to people!

      If there's any clubs around, try joining. My mom has made friends in her older years by joining DAR and other groups focused around her interest in genealogy. Try going to more events. You can maybe find some on Facebook or in a local newspaper. Hope that helps, and good luck.

        @sillyashell I second this, maybe a yoga class or something like that.

      The only people I talk to outside of my husband and kids are my coworkers and that's just because they're there at work. I don't talk to them outside of work

      I wish i knew because I don't even have a partner now. Coming out of a almost 9 year toxic narcissistic relationship and I have absolutely Noone to talk too because in those years he made me push every one away. So I only had him and now he's gone and I have nobody my mom is just as toxic. I have beautiful kids. So I'm finding friends anyway I can. I'll be your friend. šŸ¤—

      I'm the same exact way. If by chance my kids go spend the night with my mom, I literally sit at home and watch TV or sleep. I have no friends and no one to talk to at all.
