Hiya Garlfin -yes I know what you mean (bit late on this thread BTW I know!). I left a job & realised all my `friends` were actually just work acquaintances who I no longer had anything in common with. I'm from UK - quite interested in politics/religion too, but can get a bit `intense` at...

I used to have friends once but they were really only work acquaintances that disappeared when I left. Seems v hard to make friends these days - people seem so superficial & shallow - & most seem to already have enough friends & aren't interested in you! Think it`s harder to make friends as...

Hello from Southwest England! :-) I know something about how you're feeling - I'm a lot older & also mild-spectrum Aspie (amongst other things!). I also can't promise things inevitably get better: I gave up wormk about 10 years ago as the stress of dealing with other people was too much. I...

I'm game - always could do with a chat (without seeming too desperate,of course!)

Hi & good to meet you - sort of know where your coming from here: I'm `mature`, in a rather dodgy marriage, no kids, no friends & also crippling & isolating Social Anxiety. Hope you make some friends here.

Hiya - yes I sympathise: my family moved to New Zealand from the UK back in the 80s & even though both are Anglo-related countries, the cultural differences were somehow too great to allow complete assimilation. In the end they came back after 6 years to UK! It must be really difficult living...

Wow - wish I had been that cogent & lucid at 15 (not wishing to patronise). I'm afaid we live in a world where shallow ideology is the norm - good to see some people still perceive in a broader spectrum! Feel free to PM for deep & philosophical chat!

Hiya If you think that's old mate try being a 52 year old pomme - good to meet you!

Somerset - anybody else ftom the wonderful SW? (he says as an oiginal Yorkshireman - yes, I know: traitor gone off to join those soft southerners!)

Copy the last sentiment - sure there are fraudsters in every walk of life, but genuine full-scale social anxiety is unremitting, disabling & destroying. It`s perhaps a noble concept to presume people can live a normal life with SAD, but regrettably the reality is often that normal functions...

Hi johnny I'm a bit off the pace as have just joined on here so only just noticed your post. I live in UK - am about your age group (52) & friendless: not sure can help with the music though - like listening but tried playing piano at school & was utter cr*p at it! Feel free to PM me for chat.

Thank you all so very much for the warm welcomes & especially the reassurance - it mean a hell if a lot to me at the moment to not feel completely isolated! I hope I can join some chats & try to bond a bit with some of you :-)

Hi everybody - not sure if I qualify to be here really as I'm actually married (so if I should sod off, just say - I'm used to that!). However, both myself & wife are basically introverted loners: no friends & no kids. Both these criteria seem to preclude you from being accepted as an...
