I am a 35 year old lesbian who has a hard time making and keeping good friens. Most of the people start to take advantage of me. I am very lonely.

" hey,
so, this is going to sound kind of corny, but the best way to make and keep good friends is to be a good friend.
just be outgoing and yourself and it'll happen. good luck! "

" I know exacly how you feel. Not so much the taking advantage of but making friends who feel the same way as me. I don't have any gay friends in RL and i find myself very lonely. "

" I understand how you feel. I do not do well making friends either. And the ones I have tried to be friends with tend to be psychos, users, or dishonest (usually all 3). And this tends to make me leery of people. So the only friend I really have is my partner. If you are interested in getting to know me & my partner let me know. "

" I dont have trouble making friends just keeping them. I am not very trusting, due to ppl i have trusted letting me down in the past and for that reason i struggle to keep friends. "

" Wooow this is late, I see, when I look at when the first post was...but maybe it's not too late to post something? I personally was lucky enough to keep my best friends when I came out, but I have no gay friends or adults for role models. Unfortunately, alot of people aren't open about being gay in my area, so I feel a little isolated...But most importantly, I'll be your friend! I'm always looking for new friends:) "
