How do I get friends to check in on me more? [View all]
I've got my standard bestie that lives 200+ miles away, and my oldest is in NC and yet we chat or talk every day... But I have at least a handful of "friends" that I've known for years, they live here in town, and yet we only bump nto eachother occasionally...and we post on FB but that's it...
I need more friends who are invested in me...but how do you go about finding those people who give a crap?
I'm sure I also pushed a LOT of people away because of the abusive Ex and lost my chances at cultivating deeper connections for when my kids left the house.
In all my life, I have never actually lived "alone" until now.
I kinda like it, but being super sick the past few weeks has made me think twice about not having regular check-ins. If I had passed out in the kitchen when my ear went numb with that sinus infection, I could have hit my head and never got up...cats eat the face... not good.
Anyway, I know once I get well (god, I swear I've been sick for the entire month!) and Spring begins, more of us will be active and agan, that's where I feel left out. But I am going to forge ahead with my own stuff when I get my energy back....hopefully create a new tribe of sorts....
