It just feels exhausting and hopeless lately and I’m afraid I’ll just end up being lonely forever.
/vent over, thank you, carry on. Please don’t absorb my upset into your own heart.

I just made a friend recently by tagging along with someone I met while walking the dog at the park and chatting with them. First friend I’ve made in ages but it feels good to have tried something and it worked.
Having a pet you can walk outside is a great way to get to know other people who also have pets they walk outside. And most of the time, they will like their pet, so that gives some nice common ground to start conversation from.
Personally, I met about 90% of our acquaintances from this town and the one we lived in before through walking our dogs regularly and talking to other people who often also were walking their dog(s) regularly.
Yup! In fact, a big part of the reason I got a dog was to have something that forced me to touch grass every day, and so that I had a natural reason to strike up conversation while out in the world.
