I agree totally Syren. That is really good advice. Hermes

...this gets to me. First of all, you are not 'elderly'...you are vibrant with tons of life in you. Elderly gives the illusion to those who don't know you as "granny"...somehow, I don't see you as being the type! :) Your age, circumstances, etc can come out at a later time, if it's a friendship sort of forum, to those with whom you feel a connection. For the time being, however, it's nobody's business how old you are. Also, since it's the internet, please be cautious about expressing vulnerability to strangers, just as a safety measure. Lots of predators out there in cyberworld. Takes some practice getting back in the saddle after so many years with someone who makes you feel everything you expressed when you walked through the 'door' on that site. Don't be too hard on yourself and also, try a more positive approach when meeting new people. In time, those who you like/like you will be more than interested in hearing what's bothering you. Using it as your opening line to people who know nothing about you...and who have no idea why you feel this way...most people tend to avoid dealing with unpleasant information unless they have an emotional stake in it. Bond, then open up. That applies in all aspects of life, with all people you meet. You have to lift your head up and even fake it til you make it if that's what it takes for now. People are drawn to positive, repelled by negative. Dust yourself off, try again...nothing lost there - just a lesson learned! :) xoxo

Just my opinion, but the net is not all it's cracked up to be. Is there any chance you could get involved in an association or group in your locality, where you might meet people and have someone to chat with. Er...btw, don't start out with "I'm bored and lonely". I know it's hard, but I think getting out and getting some kind of life for yourself would make a great difference. Good luck Hermes

Hi Freaked, I am sorry that people are pissants! You are a wonderful lady, and I would like to be your friend. I am very lonely here too, and am dying for some friends. unfortunately I live in the land of narcs, plastic boobs and passive aggressive zombies. Finding friends is so hard here, and I cant wait to move. I let xN be my best friend, and shelter me for many years, and now its just weird being all alone. Big hugs sweetie!! SG XX
