Anyone out there who wants to be friends? I know, it sounds pathetic or desperate, right? Well, I guess I am. You see, I don’t really have any friends and after years of seclusion, I have realized that I can’t operate like this anymore.

You may wonder, why seclusion? Well, I’m someone who has been hurt a lot. I know, who hasn’t, right? I can be a sensitive person, but more so, I never learned how to cope with life issues so when I felt people or things coming against me, I just fell into my hole. I have done this for years and after all of this time all I see or feel is misery.

So here is what I can tell you about myself. I’m a struggling Christian, married, educated, unemployed, and extremely depressed. I love dogs, colder weather, the mountains, eating at good restaurants, and watching good wholesome movies.

I am 48 years old and want a friend or two (like I had in college). If you feel lonely too and want to connect here, please let me know?

I don't see it as pathetic and desperate talking to people with the intention of finding friends. Being honest about your intentions doesn't make it harder to connect.

Thank You. I’m hoping to meet people to connect with here.

You aren't pathetic. You just lack self confidence. When we have been hurt we build walls that keep everyone at bay. But in don't this we keep potentially good people away too

What are your hobbies? and interest?

There is nothing wrong or pathetic about seeking friendship. It sounds like you might be suffering from depression. Do you have a therapist? Have you talked with your wife about any of this? Or is she the source of some of your pain? Either way, I’m happy to talk with you, just let me know.

Clicked on the OP's user name. Page comes up saying the user does not exist. Maybe he found some friends on another site.

There is nothing wrong with seeking connections we are humans and that’s what I believe we were meant for lots of light and love dear

The old days are gone i am afraid. Getting older can have its benefits, but it also sucks. There are no restrictions on what you can do that is helpful. Its good to stay in contact with friends from younger days, is that is possible. Invest in family.
