I have no advice but just wanted to tell you I understand. Loneliness is a big struggle for me, especially now that my husband is gone. It has truly highlighted the fact that I never had any friends that were just mine. But even when I do have friends I don't ever invite them out because I'm sure they would never want to hang out with me. I've always been like this. Most of the time it doesn't bother me but sometimes, especially now, I'm crushed by it.

The only thing I do is go out by myself (or with my son) and do the things I would have done with a friend if I had one.
