Needing someone to talk to

Asked Sep 19, 2008, 05:51 PM — 156 Answers
I am 35 and I just need a friend. I need someone I can talk to about what is going on in my life, ask advice, chat with, and return the favor. I work a lot and have No friends. I am lonely and just need some advice on where I could find someone who will chat with me on a serious level.
Any suggestions?

What kind of advice are you needing? You can post in specific areas to ask advice on this site. Have you seen how many categories they have on here? Make time for yourself! That is what my number one piece of advice would be to start! Good luck

This is a great place to get unbiased advice. You will get thoughtful answers and all points of view.

If you are spending most of your time at work, then is there someone at work you can reach out to? Maybe start by asking them to join you for lunch and see if a friendship can grow from there. You might be surprised by what you find.

Thanks to all who replied. I will do my best to try your advice. To startover 22: my question was do you know a chat room w/ live chat or I'm to find someone I can talk to onm a regular basis. Cookie monsters answer said there was one on one here...thanks cm! To jjwoodhull: I appreciate the advice...but I work w/ 3 people and rarely get a lunch. The people that work there are teenagers and my boss. So as far as work...not a whole lot there as far as friends. Boss is too close and kids...well wouldn't get it...They need to be kids.
Thanks again!

Need a friend, what I was wanting to know are more of what are your concerns more specifically, and we could talk about them here. This place is the best place I have found to talk about issues and get great responses, some a little tough and some a little soft....
So if you have something in specific you want to talk about, lets do it.
What type of work are you doing? What are your hours? What do you like to do on your off time.....we should start there.

Ok, well, I am 35 w/ 4 teenagers. 2 at home (step) 2 w/ their father. I am in sales I work from 8 to 6,7,8 when I am done 6 dys a week. In the am before work I do the paperwork for my sign. Others business. After work I cook...sometimes and go to bed. I have been sick lately I am going to the DR. For a colonoscopy...and I am terrified. I am stressed about my finances, and my health. I am fighting my son about his grades and trying to help but he won't help himself. My other 2 boys are to busy to see me and my 18 year old daughter( lives w/ us) is going against ao much of what we taught here tatoos # 3!
I just need someone to say you will make it. I know a lot of this is normal...but sometimes it is too much. My sign, other that's a mess in itself...will leave that for another time except to say I have no support system and should something be wrong I will have no one to talk to about it. Fears concerns bills ideas....Does that make sense. I am just lonely and scared. I am sure I am making more drama about it than is neccessary...I just feel so alone.
This dr. Gave me a list of possibilities and none of them are fun. No matter what I will need to change the way I do things, which on top of all I have going seems impossible. Something will have to give and I don't know where I can take from. I feel like our survival depends on me alone and no matter what I do it is not enough...they always want more. I am just so tapped out right now. As far as after work in my spare time I don't have much. I don't have interests...or I don't know what they are. My boss is needing more from me .I love my job but there again I need a way to get to where I can do more....Ok HELP

Need a friend, this is all totally normal. You sound as if you have too much on your plate. If I were you...(before you go under) I would be trying to make some major lifestyle changes. Working that much can't be good for you and not having one ioda of time for yourself is just not good. If you had more time, all of these other things may come a little easier. Do you think this is an option?
