I was feeling lonely so i went outside to visit with my one close neighbor but she wasn't there. There was another woman around my age that i haven't met before. I was undecided about what to do but she was alone and i thought 'maybe she is lonely too.' So i went up and introduced myself and we chatted for a few minutes. Turns out we moved into the building the same year! It wasn't really satisfying tho. But i am glad i took the initiative. I rarely do. Glad i met with acceptance. The problem was mostly a third woman showed up and they knew each other and talked to each other and cut me out. Well, i tried.

It seems like it's not enough just to have some random chat. I don't feel connected with just that. It's pretty rare that i feel connected. I guess you have to start somewhere tho?

Hugs to all who struggle!
