Friends, Isolated, Alone

NAS80814

Hi all

So I'm 44  and I have zero friends! I have a few aquitances but nobody I would call a friend. 

I'm really troubled by this, I have a partner and children but I feel this lack of friends very profoundly 

My partner has friends and I often get hurt feelings when they go out, it's not that I don't want them to do it's just a reminder and a painful one that I don't have that in my life, I literally feel sick every time they do 

I feel it physically and mentally, it really weighs on me. 

I don't know what to do about it, I have tried joining various groups but I always feel out of place and unwanted 

I'm sick of no one calling me and being alone and isolated (my partner and me don't stay together) , I'm sick of never being invited to anything, I just want someone out with my partner to give a damm. 

It's really affecting my mental health and I don't know what to do. 

Thanks

    Yes it affects me every single day. I have tried so many times over the years. I am now trying to build up the courage to look for ‘clubs’ or ‘get togethers’ (if they exist) that have something to do with my special interests. I can talk about these, so I am hoping it might help if there is a purpose to a group of people meeting. That probably doesn’t make any sense
