I'm so lonely. All my best friends have found other interests, partners and moved on so we hardly chat anymore, My best friend for 5 yrs has problems and has shut me out completely. I have a partner but we keep things seperate and dont spend much time together and it just doesnt feel the same without my friends anymore to chat with.

so what can you do to change that? the thing is you gotta get out to reach out to others...well I have found there are so many lonely people longing for friends that if you keep reaching out someone will grab onto you and hang with ya....hugs bill

Hi there mysticrose,
Please feel free not to answer this if it is too personal, I mean to offense, but if you are with someone, why do you keep things seperate?

I understand how you can be lonely even with a partner; I'm in the same situation. I don't know how to meet people other than through work or some activity that you enjoy. With 7 kids, it must be hard to get out to do stuff on your own. At least you know there are people here who feel the same way and will support you. ((hugs))

7 kids must keep you both pretty busy.

Just remember that you have some nice people on here to chat with :)

Andrea has a great point. There are 7 billion people on this planet. You will find more friends, some in the same situation as you, as long as you keep looking.

i relate to your post, and I send you my understanding. I guess from the replies you got, I realize the only thing for me to do is to keep reaching out, otherwise, my friend well runs dry.

I wish us all to find caring friends in our lives online, and in real life time that we can feel connected to, appreciate with and increase our sense of belonging.

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
