Hi I'm new to this forum

I'm 25 years old, female, and I live in Defiance, Ohio United States, a very small city. I am working on a BFA in graphic design and I hope to move to a bigger city after I graduate. I don't know how I found this site but I'm glad I did.

Well...to start I don't have many friends to hang out with, most of them have started their own families with kids, moved out of state, or love to hang out in bars and drink all the time. I don't like to hang out in bars and drink, I don't drink at all. It seems like its the only thing to do around here in this small city. So I just stay at home and play role playing games, watch t.v., read comics, and work on my art. I also like anime, manga, drawing, and going out to the mall to shop.

Truly, I am a lonely person, even though in real life I try to hide it. I guess don't want people to see me as a down and weak person. It's no fun to feel down and I'm trying to keep myself happy and positive with my life...but I wish I had someone to talk to, hang out with and go shopping and have fun. Maybe make friends with a penpal too. Anyway I'm glad to meet you all.

Welcome.
Nice to know I'm not the only one who hates the bar scene.
I've always wondered what small-town life would be like.
I guess loneliness is one of the prices to be paid there.
I live in So. Cal so there's always something to do
but that doesn't make it any less lonely, but maybe a little less boring I guess.

Lots of friendly people here, many with good advise.
A few trolls too, which is to be expected,
but you can set it up so that you never have to read their comments if you like.
And that makes it a little nicer.

Good luck.

Hi, I'm a 70 yr old widower. I live with my 3 children and 7 grand children, yet experienced loneliness. I then hit upon the idea of starting a club for the single and lonely; and so I introduce you to this concept.
The feeling of isolation and loneliness in single people is not unknown. One way to overcome it is to rebuild a social network. Evening Star, a no profit making platform started a year ago as a self help group that allows single and isolated people of either gender, aged 35 yrs and above to move through their twilight period into a new dawn. It is a cosmopolitan group and accepts as its members those who are single due to demise of spouse, divorce, unmarried, or isolated even being married. The membership follows a referral / reference system.
The group has framed the methodology of its functioning in a booklet it refers to as its constitution.
Now in its second year, it has its executive committee in place, while earlier it was spearheaded by its Founder Member Sam Motafram. The Executive Committee comprises of an Advisory Board that advises the Office Bearers on a need be basis. The President is the head of the Club with the Secretary, Treasurer as office bearers, and Executive Committee members who assist the Office bearers in the working of the group.
Now its members are able to share the joys of birthday celebrations and festivities with fellow members. Picnics, short outings such as country side drives, participative and recreational games, inter – active discussions on topics of common interest by eminent speakers are features of the group’s activities; besides members finding caring, help and support in times of need.
If you believe you can change your life following my example, I will be happy to help
