Hoping to make new friends

Hi everyone,

I'm not new here but haven't posted for a long time. Just thought I'd say hello again and that I'm looking to make new friends here. I have limited access to a PC at the moment and don't have messenger but I'm happy to exchange PMs and chat on the mini messenger on here.

I'm male, 35 (hopefuly not too old) but look and feel young for my age, live in the UK and am mostly into music and comedy. My social phobia has become much worse over the last few years and I hardly go out at all now. I also struggle with depression but am slowly getting better able to challenge my negative thoughts even when I feel as though my world is falling apart. I try to keep myself occupied with positive stuff as much as possible but sometimes the loneliness is unbearable. ::

Anyway, if anyone wants to get in touch (from anywhere in the world), feel free to send me a PM!

Then I bid you welcome. May you find whatever companionship you seek here.

Just thought I'd update this as I'm feeling lonelier than ever now. :: I don't suppose anyone wants to send me a PM, maybe someone in a similar situation or anyone who has some encouragement? Just so disillusioned with my life. I struggle with initiating any kind of contact (I even get phobic about posting on forums!) but otherwise am a friendly person and a good listener.

hi

i just hope i had words that made you feel ok. you can pm me if you want. will be happy to talk.

I haven't posted on here in a long time. I really want to meet new people also. I go through periods of ups and then downs. when I feel up, I am optimistic and want to engage in conversation and share my thoughts and opinions. When I am feeling defeated, I really want to just hide away and try to find some refuge in the confines of my house. If there are any people that want to chat, pm me. I have to get used to this site again because I am lost and really don't know how to use it.

Just thought I'd update this as I've very recently been rejected by a girl I had feelings for and could really do with some friends now as life seems utterly pointless.

Sorry to hear that bud. I could really do with some friends too, but when I start to feel down I withdraw and tend to avoid talking to anyone. Vicious cycle.

I'm always looking for new friends too! I really want a pen pal tho.. love those!!
