When I was little I wasn’t really encouraged to mix with anyone and as I got older my mother would happily have kept me prisoner forever so although people seemed to like me, I never really made any proper friends. People stop asking you to do things / go places after a few times of you having to say no! Anyway, I’m now nearly 40 and I have a few people I know and speak to but no one to go for a drink with or ask how I am. Not complaining, just stating a fact. Sometimes it really bothers me, sometimes I couldn’t care less. Like if I want to go shopping then I go shopping and I don’t have to worry about someone else wanting to do something different because it’s just me but at the same time, sometimes it might be nice to have someone else to go with. Ah well, I’m sure others have it worse!
