Me either. My "brother" threw me under the bus and I don't need any contact with him. And he has the nerve to ask me for money after treating me so cruelly for years now!!!!!!!

People have told me what to do to make friends too, and it never worked out either. People suck and are shallow, and unless they also want a real friendship, it will just be superficial.

I know you mentioned your sister but didn't know you have a brother.

It does help to read that other people experience this, whether on this site or elsewhere. Actually I come across this a lot, how lonely people are in this world and not just us older people. Yet what's the solution? I don't know.

All I know is that if it weren't for this site (or the Internet period, which I didn't grow up with), I'd think it was just me.
