Sad and lonely...

DJ,

Volunteering, especially at an animal shelter, is a great way to meet people. It also allows you to do what you like best, shmooze with animals and give them the love and attention they so desperately need.

I'm sorry you're feeling so sad and lonely. It's difficult when you are in a city you don't really know anyone. I'll be home after work around 10:30 if you want to chat via IM.

(((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) to you honey!

You have friends here!

A good book is always a nice way to pass alone time. Is there a library at which you could volunteer? Not only will that allow you to meet people and maybe find a friend, browsing the periodicals for jobs can't hurt!

Hey your not alone = you have all of us & the critters... I love the idea of going to the library & or park.. Volenteer work is good.. Always remember if one door closes there will always be another better one open..

Thanks guys! I guess why I feel so lonely is because I went away for a year to college back in 2000 and when I came back everyone I knew was gone. I suddenly knew no one in a town I grew up in! It was, and still is a very wierd experence. All of my girl friends moved away, and I havent really been able to find any one else outside of my jobs since. I realize how important it is to have other types of relationships, other than my husband, and mostly I think thats why Im feeling kind of sad about things. I want to have friends and stuff but like I said, I'm shy about people. Im going down to the shelter tomorow to see if they need voulenteers. I might go to the humane society too to see.

I feel for you. I really do. I'm the same way. I really dont have any friends of any sort. I wish I had something supportive to say, but I don't really know what to say. I'm here if you every want someone to talk to though

I read somewhere about two years ago about how hard it is for adult women to make friends. Usually after they leave home or college, for some reason it's difficult to find people that you can really call FRIENDS.

I found this to be true for myself...until...I volunteered for a cat rescue. Now I know people that I can truly call friends and they are all types of people, male and female, single and married, children and no children.

It's great. Try it!

And, of course, you always have PT friends.
