How Do You Make Friends When You Have Social Limitations?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I want to make new friends because I don't have a single friend left. I don't know how to get myself out there because I have too many concerns. My mental issues leave me afraid and I don't drive. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs like most people do around were I live to make friends. I've never been much of a social butterfly but I also don't want to spend my days alone without having someone close to talk to. I know I'd have problems with my fibro always getting in the way of finding and… read more

You didnt really upset me...I am honest, and open, expressive, and a child like child of God.
I hold no Malice, just felt misunderstood.
I want nothing more than to make a difference in someone's life, even if it's just 1 smile.

I have a dog. But I really want a cat! So, if your @A MyFibroTeam Member looking for a new home little kitty...I will be happy to have you!

Honestly I am so alone... I never NEVER used to watch TV. Now it's on all the time My parents let me have a dog because my depression is so bad.
I got a rescue pup who is so broken... he's always sick. He needs the vet again but I can't afford it.
I put up a go fund me for him but just like me he was ignored. I think because it's not dramatic! !

I'm sorry to hear your boyfriend left😢 you can text my phone if you need a text buddy. I'm terrible on the phone but I text when I am awake.
I had to leave my husband because he got addicted to my pain meds. He was stealing them. Addicted and got aggressive. I held on for years hoping he'd get help. *8yrs

I've learned to be happy without him. I miss the friendship and having someone to love and love me but, I think I finally love me!

I love that you adore cats! I bet they adore YOU too. I myself can spend hours looking at cute cat,kittens,dogs,and puppy pictures. They make me happy.
Your love for cats? Maybe you can hook up with a cat rescue and foster some til they are well? You might find some friends doing that too.
I go to my local Kingdom Hall. I have not been in a while but sometimes I call in and listen. A person comes and studies the bible with me. I asked because I was so lonely and it's nice to have a visitor.
Sometimes I feel like I should have Sara Mclaughlin playing as my background music for my life! My life has become so empty. Humans are social and we need each other. I'm not well enough to go and get out and meet people. Plus SSI is so low I am broke! But, I lost my good friend because I couldn't be active and run around with her. Hurt...but it's her loss cuz I'm a good friend.

I think I am going crazy too
My memory...gone

I haven't looked into a meet up yet, I'm kinda very shy and like to talk to people before I meet them, just to try to know if they could be a good friend or try to rob me first.

Go for it, once you are on there you will wonder what has taken you so long. Remember if you panic you can just press the stop button, but find me first then you have a friendly place to go to if you get lost or need someone to talk to x
