I lived that, for many years... I watched Comedies and TBN ...grew greatly. Id do bible studies on my own, and google anything of interest. Love to learn. Id go to the movies. Joined a great little church, was in leadership for 3 years. Would buy a cheap salad at my favorite, Central Market...enjoy looking at their stuff and lovely flowers... visited my favorite park, shopped at Whole Foods...stop in Goodwill. Id draw or paint, write/read. Loneliness led me to join a Meetup Group, where to my utter surprise met my best friend EVER! Huggzzz <3
Have you considered finding a Meetup Group in your area? There's a ton of different groups, surely there's several you could try. Remember... everyone feels 'awkward' when visiting a new group situation...you are truly not alone. Also consider, that you might find the best friend you've ever had... like I did four years ago. Yes, there's negatives that happen to us, but don't forget, GOOD THINGS happen too. *Hugzzz*
Google, "Meetup" and your cities name or the largest one near you. Let us know how it goes! *Peace-
Where are these groups located? Please send me some.
Its hard. I dont have any friends either. My anxiety keeps me from trying new things on my own to meet people.
