How can I meet more "Forever Alone" friends?

[Anonymous]

I am in a state of depression right now. I have been disconnected for a long time, around 8-10 years now. I have been off in my own world. Meanwhile, I just discovered a couple nights ago that I am the last out of my 4 former childhood friends to be unmarried and childless. It has really threw me into a downwards spiral. I turn 29 this year and never had a real girlfriend and nothing serious. I have become very socially inept overtime. I figure if I surround myself with more forever alone people, I won't feel as lonely. How can I find these people?

I would get off teh depressing out and attend your professinal organization conferences etc, art walk, "What's Up" and things to do in your area search which are usually free, and finally meetup. com.

I met my woman through professional org meetup there. And, there are outdoor and indoor soccer which is full of internationals and indoor with university and graduate school girls. Political, hobbies etc at meetup. IRL and real people.

You could join a meet up group, although that would be random. I understand you want friends with similar experience, but things do change and often in unseen ways. They could end up with a partner relatively quickly after becoming your friend.

Life is such a weird thing. For instance, I never expected I would be traveling by train to a town I never heard of when I was growing up to work at weekly and dealing with the after affects of brain cancer.

Good luck. I hope you're able to not be forever alone, someday.

I’m the exact same and just turned 30. It’s horrible I wake up everyday wondering what’s wrong with me.

Do you have any friends at work? Or play sports etc? Or what about going travelling and meet other solo travelers. That’s what I wish I could do.

Best of luck with that.

Was that supposed to be pessimism or something?

No, it was not. There was nothing pessimistic in what I said. I am just wishing you best of luck so that you can find the people you are looking for to be friends with.

Simple.

I can most definitely relate. You can message me.
