New member from Arizona!

Hi, I’m a 51 year old child at heart. I don’t look or act my age. I’m looking for others to connect with regardless of age. Since moving here from Buffalo NY 4 years ago I don’t have many friends. (Not close ones) so I sometimes feel a little lonely. From only being on here a few weeks, it doesn’t seem like there is much interaction between members other than to welcome them to the site. I’m a little disheartened by this. I joined because I thought I’d find some like minded individuals or even complete opposite individuals to form bonds with. If this is not the kind of site for such interaction, I may just delete my account. I hope this is not the case because I was really hoping to find genuine friendships. Thoughts? 
thank you for listening. 
peace!

Krista

Im sorry no one else has reached out to you. I think we all want friends and happiness, but are just scared to reach out to each other. Maybe your post will start the conversation and lead to wonderful things. Wishing you a great day. Krisan

Hi Krista, I'm sorry to hear you feel disheartened. I think in the past there have been very many meaningful interactions and discussions between members, but it appears to have quietened down quite a bit. I know in my own experience, I let life just happen for weeks on end, and don't really spend time checking in on social platforms. 

I think many people are also just afraid or cautious to reach out, especially online, and sometimes think no one is interested in what they're going through. In these instances, I take the approach of respecting their privacy and offering support in the forum instead.

Why not try and find members close to or in your area and reach out to them directly? Genuine friendships can be found in very many ways, and I think some might take a bit of time to cultivate. 

I hope you find what you’re looking for, and I am happy to assist as and where I can.
