I'd be really lonely if I didn't have my work to occupy me. But I'm moderately lonely because I have no friends. I'd like to meet non-vaxxed trump supporting patriots in my city of Austin, TX, but I have no idea how to go about that.
I think relationships are important in life and I've been lacking in that area. But it's time for me to make an effort and reach out to the right people I resonate and relate to.
If you're in the neighborhood, let's connect!
Could be why freinds aren't made easily, assuming gullibility with a broad brush for a particular life choice, it's little small minded, might add to loneliness expressed by the OP.
REAL friends are never made easily. Fair weather acquaintances are not REAL friends. Older people understand that better than anyone. My best friend let his stupid ass wife talk him into the clot shot. He is dead now. I hope she goes soon. She deserves it.
Sorry about your friend.
