Loneliness

Is it just me or are there others out there who have trouble making friends. I've lived in the area for such a long time but can't seem to find my niche. I've tried on several occasions to participate in different things but for one reason or another, my anxiety and fear of being rejected takes over. I know it's something l have to try and overcome but it's really hard and I am 60. I'm very kind and tolerant, married to a man who l know loves me, but he isn't social which doesn't help.
If it wasn't for my kids, l think l would just pack up and go.
So if there's any one who is going through similar things I'd love to hear from you.

H I am in my 40s and I too find it difficult to make friends but recently got a dog and I find it helps me to get out each day and meet people other people with dogs and form bonds with people with a common interest. I dont know if this is possible for you to do or if you like dogs but they have helped me with my loneliness. Hugs
