I need that also, which is why I joined this site. Although I haven't experienced quite the same thing, I still welcome the interaction. Being an introvert, I don't make friends easily or quickly.

My so-called friends have turned out not to be real friends, so it seems my only friend is my boyfriend. But I need more than that.

Also going through perimenopausal symptoms which include anxiety, insomnia, and mood changes.

I can somewhat relate to the men things. Took me 45 years to find a decent one, and I met him ONLINE.
