In a lonely place
Well-known member
I've worked so hard to change my life over the last 23 years. I started from scratch at the age of 25 to try and rebuild my life after a mental breakdown when I just couldn't go on living the way I did before.
Despite getting a job (finally) and trying to make new friends, I still am so lonely at times.
Life is not unbearable, but I seem to lack the ability to be happy, I don't make friends easily, I don't trust people easily.
I have made one good friend and I value his friendship, but it's not like we can go out 'on the pull' together. I feel I'm running out of time.
I am shy, especially with women, but I do have women friends, they just tend to be married themselves or much too young for me.
I used to think that if I met the right women, then my life would be perfect. Now I'm not so sure.
Has anyone got any advice for me?
