    It was my birthday yesterday and the only person apart from my family who actually wished me a happy birthday was a stupid text message from 02

    When you look at how happy I was when I was a child - one could not have imagined how depressed I am now

    where did it all go wrong.. the day I left primary school.. lost all my friends .. secondary school was a dark place.. college made new friends it was fantastic while it lasted.. finished now never heard from them since they live far away..

    people say join a club.. I did that already.. joined loads.. met nice people.. see them every week.. but again they already have friends outside of the club.. their joined the club because they are passionate about playing the sport..
    I made suggestions for us to go out I think some of them were stunned when I asked.. they make excuses .. Maybe I come across as being desperate and clingy..


    I am making the effort and ... it is not working.. please help

    Hey, you are doing all the right things, you just haven't met the right people yet. Maybe try getting involved in a more relaxed club activity. Like a walking group or a book club or try and get involved in a indoor football team. Or you could try to start your own group- put an ad up on Gumtree.

    Or you could try volunteering. Get involved with SVP- I met a lot of people through that.

    Or you could try starting an evening class or a course during the day(if u are not working).

    Try all of the above sure :)

    Hi OP

    i was very much like you this time last year, i started inline hockey, astro turf soccer. it is hard to meet friends within a sporting club but what i found good was macra. I have met so many good friends by it its worth checking out.

    We do drama, impromptu, sports, fundraising, social weekends away etc. everyone in it is in it for the same reason. there's a few clubs in every county, its worth checking out

    Take up Salsa!

    I was always under the impression that asking people to do things was an imposition on them... for some it is but for others, they want to make new friends.

    I' was really surprised at how sociable people are ! More so people in their 30s who are more comfortable with themselves.

    Depends what type of club you're involved in - active outdoor clubs mean that you spend a lot of time in people's company (and get to know them rather than let;s say indoor soccer where people are there for an hour and then shoot home afterwards.

    I was like you when I was in my early 20s. i had one good friend. Now at 40 I have more friends than ever and friends who I choose to make rather than those I know just through familiarity.

    Get out there.
