hi there
Please can anyone advise about a good friendship site that is a cut above the rest,or are they all the same.My situation i truly a odd one ,i feel lost re/my option & my reason for writing this ...here it goes
I am a female in my late 40;s Never would i have thought or EVER imagined that I could get lonely NOT ME ! widowed at a young age iraised 3 children & never short for a date untill......
A failed spinal surgery 8 yrs ago. changed my life to the exteeme from outgoing never bored to a total secluse .
Children all left the nest ,Now my day.s are spent indoors of late, talking to my best mate my dog.mind you he is cute.
My long time friends are still married scattered in different states,or overseas, sadly some passed away.so yes I get the postcards of the regular holliday.s they attend.& happy for them!
here is my problem
Not able to continue in my trade { 30 yr,s running my own buisness .Hairdresser/beautition/ dance instructor / that always kept me buisy &active in the past all huge change for me all due to health - feel im going mad behind closed doors.
.I truly just want a friend.to hang with either female or male.I tried joining groups,but frankly both sexes most times act like real desperates or so shy that makes it impossible to have a conversation or you meet very overpowering loud types not exactly my style,im truly not a prude but hmmmm gave it a miss. I do have standards eg.. like good manners .& want to engage with nice fun personalities considering the rare times I gone out..
Volenteer work i would so love but once again not suitable with my condition as my mobility & pain alters from day to day , could not ever be reliable,Im not well funded to be in a health fund & unable to get another specialist opinion , wont overide my specialist they do stick together /medical field [another matter.] another topic
Strange mobility wise I can do a little of everything only very limmited in time frame standing- walking sitting ,externally no one would ever know of my agony it,s all internal causing inflamation to the nerves especially when i overdue it! it still is my worst enemy so hard to go a slow pace & still a real bad habbit of mine . always suffer the concequensis later,no one realy knows &no one can see .so i dont get any sympathy either!IOL
Other than my children i dont have family or relatives ,I have never had time for the poor me syndrome people , met so many in my professio
OH Boy now im sounding just like that !
I guess im a little frightened as well kept it all to myself ,i dont impose my fears on my kids ,alway,s putting on a smile when they visit .so they dont worrie,frazzle .
IN reality im still a big kid inside passionate about live entertainment movies OP shops Zoo anything realy, ,BUT..... not fun on my own!& no one in my life to share views,conversation face to face etc. I now live in QLD Caboolture.& could realy need a true friend !That sounds so wiered at my age .I can still talk ,go out ,just little s..l..o..w..er iol
Any good Ideas re/ my situation ?
