I’m looking for friends

I came here tonighr,because I too feel lonely.

Perhaps we can share something about ourselves here to help each other. Worth a try, I guess.

I had no friends growing up. My identical twin and I played together - which was enough. Before I was a teenager, I did not feel lonely because I could go and feed young elephants by merely walking a few minutes from my parebts house (I grew up with wild animals in Africa). Just walking outside was an adventure, becauase the chances of being chased by hippo's, or lions, or leopards or buffalo, was at times an every day reality. Every day could ve an adventure, merely to avoud being hurt or killed by some wild animal.

In my mid 20's I experienced loneliness again.

I will turn 50 in a few months. I still do not have friends. They are far away in Africa. I live in the USA for almost a decade. I should make much more of an effort to make friends.

Maybe..sharing this here will have some meanong. Maybe the safe, mundane existence (which I really do appreciate!) In the USA contributes to my sence of loneliness? Maybe I should...go hunting to feel alive again. I've never hunted before.

Your thoughts?
