In reply to I'm Lonely!, posted by tabitha on March 22, 2004, at 22:07:49
I'm right there with you tabitha. I just ended an 8 year friendship, and am feeling pretty lonely myself. It can be so hard to meet people who want to be friends, especially when you don't have any to fall back on. That always makes me more desperate and try too hard. But I'm about to move into a new apartment, and I'm thinking of moving to an area that is really built up, full of people, and has lots of parks and places to go (even though it's a longer commute). Then I'm just going to do my own thing, work on being happy with myself, and hope that being out and about will help me meet people. I may even get a dog to walk in the park or take an art class or something so I'll have to go out! It's so hard to put yourself out there, but if you aren't out there you'll never meet anybody! I figure anytime you aren't in you house is a chance to meet someone. I tend to isolate myself so this will be a big step for me. I hope your search for friendship goes well.
