Friends

I feel like making friends is so hard. I tell myself and my husband all the time “I don’t need friends” but I think that’s just me trying to cover up the sadness of having no one. My husband is very social, he can and does make friends every where he goes. I don’t. I’m very shy around new people until I warm up to you. So it’s hard. I live 3 & 1/2 hours from my hometown so none of my family is here. And although we’ve lived here for 7 years I still have no friends. I have friends who text me…but it stays in text. And those are girls I work with. But all of them live far away from me. I had one very close friend who hung out with me often but her life got busy and we lost touch. Why is it so hard!? My kids are older so they’ve gotten to that age they could care less about me. I’d love to have a girl friend to meet up and go to dinner or hang out at one of our houses and chat.. please tell me I’m not alone!?
