no friends

[Lily76_]

I live with my husband and my family live about 20 miles away from were i am now apart from my family and husband i have no friends at all.
I try to make friends with people on line and off line but no one seems to be interested in talking to me.
Once people get to know me they dont seem to like me because i am hard work because of my mental health and other issues.
It just seems to be to much for people , i have joined forums for people with mental health issues but they seem to all stick in groups of people and if you dont fit into there group you are not included .
I have low self esteem as well and dont think of myself as worth very much to anyone.

I just find it hard sometimes that i have no one to talk to apart from my husband and family

Yeah, I have the same problem. Only difference is that my family doesn't like me either.

It's weird. Up until about 5 years ago, I had friends, but it seems that now I'm a pariah or the invisible man or something.

Same thing on these forums. I try to be nice to folks and try to be witty and whatnot, but I get attacked or ignored.

Sorry to be a downer, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not the only one going through something like this.

Praying for you both. I'm sorry you are experiencing this.

and I know I don't know you well, but I love you already..(even if it is in part because I love that song in your signature ) really though


and Speculative - I can't imagine anyone not liking you

I'm sorry that both of you struggle. From what I've seen of your posts here on CF, you both seem like decent people.

I will lift you in prayer, as well, that you will be able to build some meaningful friendships.

I second this!

You'll find a lot of wonderful people here. I know it can be hard keeping friends at times, I've lost a few in the past for the same reasons. I'm thinking it's just they might not know how to handle others problems even if they want to, or they feel bad they might not be able to help so they will push you away when you need them most.

There are many here though that will stick with you I'm sure. I may not be the best at knowing what to say sometimes but I'm here if you just need someone to talk too that might be able to understand some of what you feel.

I'd like to echo Nakor's words here, because this is the same thing I have found during the years. But, I agree that there are many wonderful people here at CF who really care about and love each other. You are both in my prayers

Thanks, guys. That makes me feel better--I hope it makes Willow feel better, too. I'm glad they added this section to the forum. I think it's going to be a good one.

You need to be confident in who you are. You are a child of God created in his image. In my experience people are attracted to confidence. Get to know who you are and accept who you are. Don't put yourself down to others or even yourself. I think there are actually a lot more lonely people out there than you think there are.

My brother and his wife moved from Louisiana to Tennessee and I'm sure she feels lonely without any friends or family around too. It's hard t make new friends for adults and it isn't just you. It's just hard, but just keep your head up.

hugs to all the lonely ppl out there and heres prayers sent up today and to the new friendships coming your way.

I'll be your friend if you send chocolate chip cookies!! j/k

I kinda know what that feels like, although I do have friends, but my mom is two states away and my close friends are all scattered throughout the country. My husband and I are completely opposite in our interests, so it's hard talking to him about what I like. When I start talking about beading and making jewelry his eyes start to glaze over, unless I mention that I made a sale. THEN he gets excited!!

I'm pretty picky about my friends, so my issue is more of my own making than anything else. I also don't have many close girlfriends...my two best friends are guys.

I don't have any close friends, either. My best bud right now is my hubby.
