Loneliness

I went to a church event. Somewhere that people are supposed to be friendly and go out of their way to welcome new people. No one talked to me. I went home and cried. I've gone several days in a row where I've only talked to my husband and son. I've had days where I've cried because I feel so isolated and lonely.

The only suggestions I can offer is persistence and hobbies. I took up crochet and it's given me something to talk about when I'm meeting new people. I've also developed a couple opening lines and I have three or four topics of conversation. If I can't connect with someone by the end of that, I give up on them.

I'm also working on building up the confidence and courage to approach people on my own. I'm not great at it though.

Oh my lovely exactly how I feel :(
And I've been there with the groups and it's just put me off completely.

I already do cross stitch That's if I have time to do it :( which is rare these days.
Thats a good idea :)
Thank you for commenting and making me not feel so alone xx
