I’m from the UK, and at the risk of turning this into a buffy/angel thread, just wanted to add I loved both shows.

Life just left me behind. I lost my relationship, my job and my house. My friends and family, as good as they are, are all busy with their own lives, and I rarely see most of them. I’m lucky to have a great daughter who I see once or twice a month, but she is busy with uni and things. I don’t...

I had exactly the same problem, and even though I was in the job almost 30 years, there were still some people I wasn’t comfortable around, even after all that time. But I made friends with some people, and would talk, however awkwardly, with the more gregarious popular people occasionally. I...

'I am 49,50 next May. Not looking forward to it, but I still have several of my school friends around, so we will be celebrating together, if we can all arrange a time to to get together. I don’t feel my age, still in my late 20’s early 30’s in my head, and in my actions to sometimes lol.

Lol, I’ve probably heard them!🙂

I used to be a postman, and one of the women there used to “throw my walk off”(sort it into a frame) before I got into work. I thought she was doing it because she was friendly, and she had done other people’s sometimes. It turned out she threw mine off because she fancied me, then threw another...

Women making it known to me that they fancy me has happened several times, and I have usually dated them afterwards. My two longest relationships and love of my life came about like this. Doesn’t happen now I’m older, fatter and uglier lol, I wish it would. Of course, I’d need to go outside my...

I did wonder about that, but after vanillacreme answered it, it made much more sense lol

I try not to give up, but in my current situation it’s difficult not to. Ive always been a shy unconfident person, and have only had a handful of relationships. I’m also an introvert, and am not much good with small talk with people I don’t know well. I’ve spent much longer single than I have in...

Thanks for all the replies and discussion, I really wasn’t expecting that. I realised when I asked the question that there could never be a definitive answer, as has been pointed out, only she knows. But it has given me food for thought. I think the fact that she has said she needs to move on...

That’s another possibility I guess. Although why leave it so long, or do it at all? It’s not like we were in contact, she didn’t need to do anything, or keep my number or give me hers. It seems a little bit selfish to do that to someone, for any reason, rather than just leave them alone...

I would be interested in a females perspective on this. My relationship ended 22 months ago and it was ended by my girlfriend. About 4 months ago she contacted me, which surprised me as we hadn’t been in contact at all until then, and I was surprised she had kept my number, and that she had now...

Thank you for Your kind words and thoughts blessedby4 and erasercrumbs. My daughter is the most important part of my life.

My daughter.

I used to enjoy a range of things, and be reasonably sociable despite being an introvert. Taking my daughter out as she grew up, going to pubs with friends, and enjoying walks with my girlfriend where among some of the things I enjoyed. But none of those things happen anymore, and I simply just...

Anxious.

Thank you for your warm welcome and kind words, they are very much appreciated! My ex always used to say how she thought I was strong to get up every morning and hold down a job for so long with my mental health problems. I’m not so sure I’ve ever been strong though, I just worked hard to keep...

49 here. Seems to be a lot of us in our 40’s.

Life not going well. I have always suffered with mental health problems, and now psychical problems too. In the last few years I have lost my house, my job, and my girlfriend. I now find myself living in a small rented depressing studio flat. I’m lonely and bored and unhappy.  I’m lucky enough...
