i’m in bed watching some tv and talking to my cat when i clicked on how i do not have friends. i have people i talk to but i don’t have people who want to see me for a coffee or ask me when i’m free or if they can come to mine and hang out.
i spend alot of time just chilling with my son and cat…would be nice to have a friend.
Kera are there no single mom/dad groups in your area? Getting out and meeting new people???
sadly nope
Could you start a small group yourself those with young children too???
I feel this very strongly. I feel the same way.
I feel the same mate. I’ve written recently too (on my blog), of how writing can be a cruel therapy: I want to tell people things, so I write. But then I have to hope people read me, because like you, I have very few people to talk to in real life. There, I said it.
I do find comfort in my peers online, and I know I can go to other writers with my personal issues, using writing as some sort of cover. Because although I want to open up, I daren’t for fear of total rejection (through few comments), or of attracting too much attention (even though I’m crying out for it). Funny, innit?
All I can suggest personally, is look me up. My personal Facebook account is on my blog, as well as my writer’s page. Then I have to hope I don’t sound like a weirdo for offering a hand. But the truth is, I’ve become friends with others writers and bloggers, where those were the only things we had in common at first. Point is, it’s not weird 😀
And sometimes I meet up with those friends, or talk on the phone. These are just suggestions. Keep doing what you’re doing. Keep being you. It’s interesting to read your stuff x
I feel this too! I have 1 friend who I see maybe once a week and it’s only going to get worse when baby number 2 arrives next month 😦
