Thank you for the suggestions, I suffer from panic attacks etc so going out full stop is hard at the moment in particular. I live in a small village with a more older population so meeting people my own age is hard.

Welcome to the topic TL

I know exactly waht you mean hun - going out for me aswell is very hard, as i find it hard to talk to people. Having aspergers though does not help

You will find that villages will be fill of the older generation as they can't stand the hustle and bustle - thus i want to move in to one as i can't stand the amount of people we have here.

Anyway lol - enough about me - Do you drive? If you do, you could drive in to your nearest town?

What about work hun? If you do work, couldnt you organise something? I'm sure i readon here a sugestion about a neighbours house? You never know - they might be older - ie 60's or that but they have kids who will be 30's.... Know its not the same but still.

No matter what though, you have us here (and were not all oldies )

Hey a stranger waving hello again! I got too busy with the move to be online and then lost my internet access when I moved and was adrift for a month. Then Mum had her knee replacement and I had no time to post so time slipped by.

Loving the new house, still giving myelf aggro with ex as I'm still in love with him and he with me although he is seeing someone else. Very lonely and no one to talk to, friends are not coming although Mum and I are going to join the WI in the new year. Love the village, missing work like crazy though, need to be back. Is it sad to want school to start again?

hi everyone, i'm new to the site and thought i'd add my name to the list. i'm 25 and live in Paisley. I sympathise with the people who have found it difficult to make friends, think i've found as i've got older thats its harder to make new friends and i only now have one friend who i see on a regular basis. I'm hoping this year things will change.

hi everyone. Welcome to the newbies.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Santa must've forgiven my sins because i got some lovely presents.

One being a digital camera. McLaren inspired me earlier in the year so it was top of my list. Now i just need to find some non-concrete views.

Hiya - I thought I might pop in to say hello as this thread is something I've been looking for.

It seems I am not the only one having the same problem (sigh) - good.. I live in Lincolnshire at the top end near the river trent (in fact its 200 metres away).

Anyways I am single guy of 24 years (old!!! :rotfl: ) , and as of last week on Thursday I thought I had some but, they wouldn't be friends that I could trust anymore to have a good night out and to chat etc for life if you know what I mean. Those whom I used to call friends last week wouldn't come over for coffee etc and it was always me doing the running around. I tixxed and told them what is the point in running around yet no one wants to return the favour if you know what I mean.

It still pains me but my last "real" friend or best pal in a way was my ex girlfriend down south whom we split up some 6-7 years ago as I was moving up to lincolnshire with parents. We were together for a long time though late days of secondary school and got on like a house on fire. Had another girlfriend some 3 years ago but no spark there or no conection wise in the inner gut (soul mate feeling?) and wasn't right so that ended.

At the moment I would love to get down to my local and enjoy a good chat but I hardly know anyone other than the landlords only by first name (but won't trust them). Really the only friendship and love I have really is to my parents and brothers/sister.

And being single guy at the moment is bloody hard as I would love to have a lass to share my dream.

And my life goes rock bottom as I was sacked on the 15th for causing a bit of damaged to a lorry trailer that I was driving (as totaly honest about it as well) so you can think what happened on that day I was sacked and no one who I could turn to other than my mum and dad!

Hobbies - erm, I do metal detecting with Dad, (country connection)
I keep chickens in the back garden and my dream is settle down in the country (nice!) in a small holding.

I have this yearing to go to the country and away from towns, I can cook, iron, clean and what not :cool: :eek: - my parents friends all say that I am a charming guy and can't see what the problem in finding a lass as I can be a bit of soft sod (caring way),

I am getting board now with no one to speak to or a women to care and love?

HELP!!! suggestions please on a postcard....

Mike

I agree it is very difficult for people of any ag (I'm 29) to make new friends nowadays. I'm lucky in that I enjoy my work and like the area I live in (Cornwall) but particularly in rural areas there isn't much. My local pub is full of wierdos, The local nightclubs are diabolical. I reckon things were easier years ago when rural communities were more closer knit. What do you oldies reckon?
I think one of the best things the internet could do is bring people closer together but is this the future of human social relationships?
