Hey, I saw your post and wanted to say that you’re not alone in feeling that way. I quite often feel lonely even if I’m surrounded by people who care. I have some challenges to overcome, ok, well a lot, but, I’m doing the work, and hoping things will improve for me. That said, during that process, it is incredibly difficult to be completely grounded. So much has changed in my life that has left me without a family (other than the one I’ve created), siblings and other relatives are not there, and that ties in with my own sadness too. My partner, while female too, doesn’t identify as gay, she was in straight relationships her whole life until we met. I long to have other couples we can invite into our world, for dinner, drinks, socialising, but no clue how we do that. I can be socially awkward, especially since lockdown and find I’m so shy now that meeting anyone isn’t easy. I’m confident in so many other ways, except for introducing myself!!

Anyway, just wanted to say you’re not alone, here if you wanna talk
