Hi UKChris, welcome to Silversurfers. There are plenty of people on the site ready to have a chat and loads of interesting topics for you to join in with. Speakers Corner is quite lively with various subjects to debate and, if you are a photographer or literature enthusiast you can contribute to the Showcase. Don't be shy - you have already taken the first step by joining SS so now take the plunge and join in with the banter. 🙂

Good afternoon , lunaloon, a lot of people are just not interested in talking I'm afraid this site is extremely slow , it's a bit hit or miss here , .

Yes it can be lonely I’m okay with my own company but not always I like to chat keeps my brain motivated chat away

Oh Cariad and No worries I don’t like the sound of your stalkers at all......very creepy, not to mention annoying. It doesn’t matter how old a person is, that sort of behaviour is not acceptable is it. How do you cope?

Hi.

I am Kami .

I'm not entirely sure how this all works so I am like a recluse at present, The Older I get the less confidence I seem to hold sadly but as I am 60 and retired I am taking a slow walk in life and just living in the moment.

I am single divorced that's not to say I am looking in any particular area of social life just stating a fact and admitting I don't have one 😉 at present .

Actually the thought of that is pretty scary I seem to have labelled myself boring over these past few years which is a title i would never have even consider placing myself with before.

Needless to say I lead a quiet life which is too quiet when not with Familyand this sim[ly has tpo change or my years will seem endlessly long and a waste.

I would like to make a few new friends along this path and am open to chat when online.

xxx Smiles and Blessings xxx

How come so many of us are lonely? Retirement is supposed to be the "golden years" yet so many people dread it and hate it. Is it because we are now old?

Hi

I think when you are on your own life does tend to become much narrower after leaving work. I retired recently and found I missed my colleagues.
Response from CariadKami made on 10th May 2018 11:46:40
Yes I agree I’m full of confident thoughts then I quake just thinking about taking charge and getting out there but I’m a Piscean I am when confidentblikr the fish fish that dances on waves but when reclusive I hide in deep waters and watch others from the shadows . I love life I just need to embrace it more and trust more . In myself and others.

I live in a Masonic retirement flat in Staffordshire
I’m the youngest as yet to live here I moved in 6 yrs ago it’s been a bumpy ride some of the residents weren’t very welcoming it was like treading on eggshells some were just unpleasant and critical but it’s a lovely home by the canal and I love my own flat but I do have an 83 yr old stalker whose a mason and I try to avoid but sadly have to tolerate

Escaping off the premises is a regular pass time for me just to avoid his attention and Tyriany of questions .

One day he’ll be gone he’s 10% tolerable 90% nuicense

How ever It does give me the incentive to get a hobby ad social life

Crikey - having an 83 year old stalker sounds a bit extreme and it can't be pleasant feeling that you have to go out just to escape his unwanted attention. Have you looked at your local U3A? Just put U3A and where you live into Google and it will come up with the details. My local branch has over 600 members and lots of interest groups from book groups to garden and holiday groups etc. I'm in our Singing for Fun group which is great and I have had some lovely holidays with the holiday and garden group. Well worth a look at the website to see what is on offer! 🙂

Good grief you are joking, 83 year old stalker, he should know better
Response from CaroleAH made on 11th May 2018 14:49:59
Problem is that as some people get older, the less inhibited they are about their behaviour and social niceties!

Loneliness can be devastating to one's mental abilities--Well versed in this subject myself. Wherever you live, I have lived or moved too many times--so I can say this safely that unless you are prepared to join into Group Situations--that no one comes knocking on your front door to find you.
At one time in my Earlier years that Neighbourhoods felt responsible to-wards their Locals. Those days have well gone, which is a Great Pity as those feelings of never being quite alone were such a valuable asset into Communities. TV's & Cars managed to kill that off sadly. Enjoy Life we only get one chance of living. Australia--supposed to be the Friendly Country is every bit as lonely I found out.
