I totally get that. I'm an introvert and LOVE being alone, but at the same time I feel lonely. I don't want to go to social events, but I want to have friends. It is hard to have friends when I don't like getting together!
When I was younger it was not a problem because I was into horses, and when I boarded my horse at a stable I made several good friends because we were each at the barn doing what we loved and we would sometimes trail ride together, go out for pizza afterwards, go watch a horse show or horse auction together, etc.
But I moved to another state and got my own little tiny acreage and although I still have some contact with old friends through Facebook and LinkedIn and holiday cards, it is not the same.
Also I got old (63) and no longer have horses and cannot afford the horse habit anymore (need to save for retirement).
I wish I could find a hobby that I loved like I loved horses that would bring me in contact with a new pool of potential friends.
I have seen that there is a meetup in a town nearby that meets on Saturday mornings at 10 AM, but I still work and don't want to have to get up on Saturday morning, plus after a work week of the horrid open office environment at work, I don't want to be in proximity to another human! ha ha
Do you have any hobby that would help you develop some friendships?
