I'm a single mum. I speak (well, message lol) to one of the mums from my youngests baby group but she lives over a hour away and haven't actually seen her for maybe 5 or 6 years. My mum is local but we don't really get on and my dad I see around twice a year. The rest of my family I'm not sure they remember I existI do wonder how many here are absolutely totally alone? (No shade) but many posts I see have partners etc. I literally have nowt - no partner, parents, grandparents family etc so just wanted to see how many were in my boat? (So I don't feel like I'm sinking completely alone...)
I have a husband, I have a 'friend' who lives abroad, who has actually just pissed me off big time tonight, I've known her for years, and she keeps upsetting me but I keep going back, but in reality she knows nothing about my everyday life, hers is always more worst, or more important. But apart from that, yep I'm alone, no family check in, no friends, so yes, I'm alone most of the time,

I think it’s very easy to have partners/family and still feel very lonely. Sometimes the proximity of people who are meant to make you feel like you belong/loved can make you feel even lonelier.I do wonder how many here are absolutely totally alone?

Just be warned... some venues don't let you leave a single ticket, so you have to buy a pair. Sometimes someone will have bought 3 seats together and there will be an odd one ticket, but if not, depending on the venue you might have to buy two.I’m loving the inspirational posts about doing things alone
So much so, that I’ve decided the next time something is on at my local theatre that I want to see, I’m going alone.
OH would always come with me, and often does, but sometimes it’s clear that what we’re seeing isn’t his thing.
And I have acquaintances that I do social stuff with, but it’s such a headache when anything is being organised, and sometimes spending time with them doesn’t make me feel relaxed ( I think I’ve said this before, but the older we get, the more some of us engage in a peeing contest about what they’ve spent their OH’s money on - yes it is that bad)
So yes; I’m going to the theatre alone asap
I’ll report back when I’ve done it!
Wow! Yes, that’s very annoying!Just be warned... some venues don't let you leave a single ticket, so you have to buy a pair. Sometimes someone will have bought 3 seats together and there will be an odd one ticket, but if not, depending on the venue you might have to buy two.
Annoys me like anything!

Ghosting someone on an app meant for starting friendships is lower than the low. You did not deserve that.I am.
- I literally have 0 friends.
- No partner.
- No mentor or anything of the sort.
Just today I got ghosted by someone on Bubble BFF.
I have 2 sisters and a brother who live abroad but we don’t speak everyday.
My grandparents have all passed. My dad passed. My mother is complex, so interactions are limited. I don’t have any relationship with my extended family and never have.
If it's any consolation, I've been there too. I'm autistic and a mum I was friendly with during the primary school years had a leaving do meal invited everyone bar me. I found the photos on FB.Bumped into one of the mums from my youngests previous primary school, had a very quick (no more than a min lol) chat which was nice. They went off into their kids gym club while I waited for my daughter to come out of dance and I noticed another girl and her mum from her previous school also went in.
There was only 5 in the class, my daughter, 3 girls and a boy. All but 1 has moved to different schools. Feel really down that the other 3 girls all obviously keep in regular contact with each other except for us
My daughter goes to dance classes, has done for a couple of years now, and none of the parents have ever spoken to me, smiled at me, anything. Yet they all hang out togetherBumped into one of the mums from my youngests previous primary school, had a very quick (no more than a min lol) chat which was nice.

I just feel so bad that my kids are having the same with friends. We did preschool through to the beginning of year 5 and with it being a such a small class they were a close group.If it's any consolation, I've been there too.

There's little or no mixing with other parents at secondary level though. I don’t mind at all.
Our last ballet school was so lovely but the teacher retired, I really miss it there. The girls have done acro at another school for 3 years and none of the mums talk to me there. Then the youngest started jazz at another school in sept and none talk to me there either.My daughter goes to dance classes, has done for a couple of years now, and none of the parents have ever spoken to me, smiled at me, anything.

Do we have the same friend?! If you message her first you can expect a reply in a fortnight if youre very lucky, but realistically more like a month at least. Last time we met up (took months to organise) she sent me a voice note ten minutes after we were meant to meet, explaining that she'd just left her house and was stuck in trafficMy friend who I rarely see anymore, as she's always busy with other friends. Like how does someone have so many friends and such an active social life?!
