I’m lonely.
I’m in my 40s and really don’t think I have any friends. I have people I hang out with, sure. But if it came balls to the wall, not so sure that anyone would be interested, apart from 1, and even then I’d feel like I was imposing.
Not even hubby is interested. I mean he’s great, but introverted.
Never had friends growing up (long and involved) and lockdown has done a number on me. I lost my job,I got another but at the fraction of what I was on, so gone from “yeah I’m there, I’m paying” to “sorry I have 30 quid left for the week “.
So no one calls me.
It freaking sucks, I have suicidal thoughts every other day, until I realise hubby doesn’t know how to clean the loo.
Human interaction us the one thing we need, just reach out, just be there.
