Desiring Reciprocity

I find myself wishing that friends would meet me half way. Some of them never reach out and I feel like I've been forcing people to talk to me lately. I live in a small country town in NY and I miss living closer to the city because it was easier to meet people. I feel like I would do anything just to have a friend I could meet up with for a coffee or a walk or anything. Yes, a lot of us have busy schedules, but friendship is important to me and I will still make an effort, and I just feel unwanted and quite lonely sometimes. Like right now.

@val2012- I understand how you feel. Also live in a small community and often feel excluded and overlooked because dont like to make a big splash. Most of us are still adjusting to the impact of social distancing and are cautious about meeting up again. Best of luck to you.

I've felt the same way a lot. It's hard and I'm sorry you're dealing with that.

Thanks. I was supposed to road trip to see someone this weekend and they cancelled on me. So I feel like disappearing completely.
