Hi Lonely,

We are about the same age and the same situation although I have one terrific child. I don't socialize very well, mostly because I don't trust people any longer - everytime I do, I end up getting hurt.

You are not boring or stupid, just shy probably. That's not a bad thing - people just need to take the time to get to know you and I'm sure that you will find some who will. Get involved in an activity that you enjoy doing, go to the library, etc. You'll meet people who have the same interests as you and start talking.

Take care.

Mary Alice
