Friendship
I find it incredibly hard to make in person friendships, I always have. Now that I'm in my late 50s, struggling with health and money issues, I feel so isolated and alone. I work as a pet sitter, so I lack human interaction there. My family has drifted apart, I'm not close to my siblings anymore and repairing the relationships with them isn't in the cards. My younger sister broke off contact with me and my older brother and I just don't have much in common, I had a best friend, but she got into some very extreme political views that I couldn't reconcile with. I have my spouse, but that isn't enough,
How do you all make friends? Once you do, how do you maintain a healthy relationship with your friends? If nothing else, how do you make at least a friend online to check in with, just to make sure everything is okay? So many websites are full of scammers or people looking for online sex.
