Introduce myself

[lilyincaMember]

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am new to this site and happened to stumble across it. I took a look at the posts and all of you seem so kind and truthful. I am in my 40′s but have had problems making friends since I was a little girl. I was both happy and unhappy that I could relate to almost every post that I viewed. I hope to gain some insight and hopefully offer mine without judgement. Maybe this way I’ll get better at this friend thing.
It will be nice meeting all of you,
Lilyinca

I’m fairly new to this site as well. I’m in my late 20′s, from southern california, and have had trouble making close relationships ( especially with women) as long as I can remember. I found this site while looking for advice about friendships. In the past two years I’ve lost my job, my car and all my close friends (except for one) for a variety of reasons. The good thing is, that I went back to school and I learned alot about myself, while I was taking classes on child development.. . But because of loosing all of my closest relationships I’ve been very unhappy and unsure of what to do. I.ve gone to see a therapist at school and was told to seek regular couseling, but that’s rather expensive. I would just like to say Im grateful for this site. It.s filled with lots of resources and stories one can relate to and gain useful advice from people who have been or are in the same situation as you. I hope this doesnt sound mean or rude but It.s comforting to know that Im not the only one with issues and issues with friendships …and all the heartache, anxiety and drama that little yet very important word entails. Here’s to having happier, healthier and less drama filled relationships in the new coming year.
Best of luck to everyone (including myself)…

I’m a working mom in my forties and in the last few years came across a few friendship dramas and breakups. I am very thankful to have found this site and its supportive nature. My warmest wishes for a happier, healthier and friendlier 2012! Suzi

Hi i am not new to site, but I have just recently started reading the forums…I am almost 40, and over the last 2 years have started to focus on my friendships. Two of my closest friendships have ended. So I have found myself left with one very close dear friend, but wanting more.. I long for a Girl’s Nite Out or someone to go see Hunger Games then Mexican food & margaritas..scheduling any thing but sitting on the couch with my good friend takes the precision of air traffic control! I have always made friends easily, just came naturally, but right now I am not sure how to meet some new people..I live in small town, I knew most everybody, thru school or church..so do yall think I should just invite people I already know to do something ( that feels a little awkward)..or seek out new faces..Please offer any advice! I appreciate any thoughts!

This is my first interaction online. I was informed that we were dropped from friends list. We were friends for the last 26 years. My husband is very upset as they are his friends really (40 years). They told him that I don’t like them and forget this friendship. I am my husband’s 2nd wife and I am socialable with them, had a good laugh.

It is so odd .. only 3days ago that I have told hubby that I am not comfortable with them. We do not have many friends and 2 less have affected him badly.

I am from the Philippines and in relationship with my hubby for 26 years.
