Looking for like-minded members to chat withHi Luna, I am new here too. There don't seem to be many people contributing to discussions on here though. I see you are a gardener. I love my garden too. When the weather is good I literally spend all day out there. I like to change things, move plants, redesign areas etc I garden on sandy soil as I live by the seaside. This does limit what I can do but after 20 years I am beginning to see results. How is your garden doing?ViewDate:

"really" making new friends!I am so happy to see this post. I only joined a few minutes ago as I am looking for some mental stimulation and, lo and behold, I find a topic very close to my heart! I too have tried all the things you mention, hoping to make connections, new friends etc and have had exactly the same experience as you. I think you are right in that almost everyone I meet has come with someone else. Married couples seem to look askance at any overtures. Trust me, I am no oil painting, but I seem to be viewed with suspicion. I thought it was just me, and have literally given up going to groups as I would someimes go home in tears. This lockdown has made very little difference to my life as I hardly went anywhere anyway, but it has made me think a lot about what else I could do as there is literally no one in the whole wide world who has contacted me to see if I am OK or need anything. That sounds pathetic I know But I am at a loss to know how to change my life and get more connected to people I could call friends as opposed to aquaintances. I volunteer at quite a few different charities but find the same thing applies.... no one wants to extend the interaction.
