Hi my name is Lindsay from Blackburn England, I am 53 and have no friends, I work in a care home doing activities for the elderly, I am a keen runner and run and bike nearly every day, i have 3 children, an axolotl, 2 dogs and a hamster, I have run the London marathon twice which I would say is m6 second biggest achievement after my children. I get so lonely at times, my daughter is my friend and she also struggles socially.

Would love to talk to someone.

  • I’m from Liverpool area. I’m exactly the same as you when it comes to making friends, it’s like the nervous system takes over. I also struggle to keep conversations going, like I’m ok with chatty people but when people don’t carry on a conversation and they just stare it’s so awkward and I’m like expected to carry on chatting or I just leave but that awkward silence is so annoying. Sometimes it’s better to not have friends as you can be yourself and you what you want when you want I guess but being lonely can be super upsetting. But you want to make the right friends and not some random people who will just turn their back on you but it’s so hard to find the nice genuine ones out. I have enjoyed being on this forum though and I hope you will like it here too, it’s just quiet now as majority of people probably asleep now. I’m a night owl lol but I’m off to bed soon too!
