[QUOTE="buddy, post: 478286, member: 12886"] Actually there are volunteer jobs to help elderly or disabled people shop. sometimes you just go get the food for them (or whatever they need) and others you go with them. I get really lonely and in my case, it is partly my fault because I could overcome my social phobias (I usually fight thru them and no one would ever know when you meet me anymore) but where it shows up is in my not making the call in the first place and letting friendships slide. It is s wrong of me but it has been hard not to be able to just join friends with their kids having fun... mine ends up bugging someone at best, hurting them at worst. It happens even within my family so though we do things together, we are not invited as much and it really hurts. Mostly I have to hide how hard things really are. My facebook posts say, q is having a good day today, and to you guys I will tell it all like it really is. Even with people around we can feel so lonely, I am sorry you are going through that. I do force myself to volunteer at the school, reading to kids in teh severely physically and mentally impaired classes, and helping in the library. It just turns my day around to have little projects, do them and have other people to talk with. And the kids are great too! I have done this three years now. Especially helps in teh winter with the short days and darkness/cold/etc. You are among friends, yes it would be great if we could just meet for coffee and by the way, i bet we would do fine. I have never been one who is in a click or anything, I had groups of friends and friends from all areas, rockers, nerds, sports guys, drama club folks,,, and now as an adult, I have friends from all over the world, different religions, different personalities and disabilities, etc. I think we would do great! So move here, nto far for you... come on, you'd love the twin cities. (and if shopping is your thing, WELL.... You know what is about 8 minutes from me even in traffic?????) [/QUOTE]
