An introduction and hello.

[Philosoraptor]

Hi all, I found this forum while looking around the 'net.

A little about me... I'm 24, live in the UK with my husband, and work from home as a freelance writer. I guess in some respects I'm not lonely as such, as I have and adore my husband, but sometimes I really feel the need for friends or family. One person isn't enough to centre your entire social life around.

My mother died when I was younger, my father is pure molten evil and I cut off contact with him five years ago. I still occasionally talk to my mother's brother, but it's not often. I've chronic health issues and basically lost all my friends from school when I stopped calling them back or cancelled plans so often they got fed up of me. I understand that, but it still bites at me. Obviously working from home, I don't really have the chance to socialise or meet new people.

Over the holiday, I've felt really lonely. I have acquaintances online, and they've all been discussing what they're doing with their family or friends, and I don't have that. It made me finally want to reach out to people, and here I am. A little bit nervous but also hopeful

So, hello!

Greetings Philosoraptor -- Welcome to ALL! I like your nic. I'm sure you'll feel comfortable here and I hope you'll find friendship, too. Oh, and my "male parental unit" is also "pure molten evil". ROTFLMAO! You're funny! LG
