So sad
 

:cry: :cry: I just am so sad today. No matter what I do I just don't feel like I fit in. I recently moved from one state back to my home town. All my "friends" are too busy or no way to contact them. Now I am wondering why I moved. I got my computer for Valentines and I joined several "talk" forums and it just seems like I can't make friends that way either. Sorry!

You have friends here at YT. I know it is hard for anybody that moves from one place to another. It is gonna take some time. Try getting out more. Spring is coming, the weather is getting nicer so people are gonna come from the wood works. Take your furbaby or babies on walks in the park or just down the street you wll be surprised on how many people you meet. Keep a smile on your face it will be ok in time.

Hi there, just want to say welcome to YT. I am sorry you're feeling sad today.
It may take a little while, but I'm sure you will make lots of friends on here. Just about everyone is super friendly and helpful. I have "met" tons of wonderful people and have made some really good friends.

I think the secret is to post quite a bit, so that people can get to know you.

Stick around, I'm sure you will have fun here.

I wish you lived here. I too have no friends. I feel like a loner all the time. I spend so much time on YT just to have something to do. LOL The bad part is I live in a small town and if you did grow up here then you dont fit in. I have lived here for 10 years and still only have (THE FAMILY). If you ever need someone to talk to PM me we can chat.

I'll be your friend. Where in Kansas did you move back to? I used to live in Kansas and still travel thru there when we go visit relatives in KC. You will always find someone to talk with here on YT. You can PM me anytime. I am sure that I am much older than you but I can "talk" with the best of them:D

Where is Bronson, Texas? It sounds as small as Krum, Texas!!!!

Smile!!
 

:) God Loves You!! :angel2dl: and :welcome4: to YT!!! I dont feel as if I've made "friends" here,, but lots of good information, help and friendly folk,, I feel for ya,, hopefully today the weather is good and you can get out and feel better. I certainly know about being alone in places,, as we've pretty much Full Time RV-ed for nearly 15 yrs now,, always away from home and friends and family (with work) and go into a place not knowing a soul,, stay for 18 to 30 months,, then on to the next .. but,, i've certainly gotten used to that,, and the computer has been a Godsend to me,, since 1997,, i've made lots of friends online and take them with me everywhere we go!! so ,,, just jump on in here,, and hope you enjoy!! now,, Bronson,, thats down toward ,, Jasper??

Maybe we can meet up sometime. Until about a year ago, we were Part Time RVers. We would go at least 2 weeks out of every month. Then I had bilateral knee replacement surgery and we had to stop for awhile but we're ready to go again.

Awww, I'm sorry you're having a bad time. It can take a while to feel like you've made friends on a forum as large as this one but stick with us!:) I totally understand how you feel! Hugs!

Hey girl... I didn't catch your name.... ??? Mines Kathryn... Unless yours is Dixon, I'm in the dark, lol

Kansas huh? I'm a bit far... I went to kansas once though! Dodge City! For a family Renuion! The Schoens got together! It sure was something! I was 20 years old and it was a mess! I was nervous as all get out and the puddle jumper we took from the big airport to the little one scared me half to death! The baby cried all teh way there! It was awful!

I remember getting off the plane and feeling like we had landed on MARS! I turned to my hubby and said " babe, where are all the mountians???" See I had never left CA before so I didn't know the earth was FLAT... It was at that very moment that I really understood what Christopher Colombus was up against! I felt like I could walk to the END of the earth and fall of... Like Kansas was where the sidewalk ended!

To top the first day of me Exciting trip off, we opened our suit case up only to realize that my *&^$@$*& husband had failed to pull MY things from the dryer and pack them! So it was an 80% empty suit case! See, I was bust packing up the baby, and doing laundry and packing his stuff... all I asked was that he pull my things out and put them in the suit case! Aparently I was asking TOO MUCH... he zipped up a mostly EMPTY case??? He must have eaten his brain for breakfast!

So faced with church the next morning, a 2 month old baby, less than 200 in our single income checking account, and not even a pair of under pants! The ONLY clothing store anyone could reccomend was WALLMART! (did I mention we would be staying a WEEK!

My trip to Kansas was not real fun... I had a hard time making friends too! ;)

I may have missed your intro post... but tell me about you!!! Where were you living before why did you move, who do you live with??? DISH!

awww Dixon :( Im sorry you are feeling so down! As we get older making friends seems harder and harder. I meet people, but more often than not I end up staying closest to my oldest friends! Im sorry you are so sad though! It will happen... with summer coming also, you and everyone else will be more active and social Im sure! hang in there!

I'm sorry you are feeling so lonely and left out. I would suggest either joining a church and getting involved. People there tend to really appreciate when people step up and ask to help out and I think they would welcome you with open arms and you would make some new friends. In lieu of that, you could try taking a class like yoga or something else that interests you. I would also encourage you to reach out to others like some of the people on here. Good luck! Hope you are feeling better soon! ;)

hang in there, all of us have bad days, but there are people here that are really caring. dont give up on us.

Welcome to YT!

I was once in your shoes. I moved back home from my first college and when I did, all my friends had pretty much abandoned me. So I had to make new ones, which wasn't easy b/c I was shy (and still am, justnot as much).

Are there any things you are interested in? I made my first new friend in town by going to my church's college group and from there met her friends, started going out on the wknds and having fun and meeting even more friends-sadly most of them have now graduated and moved and I'm alone again. I have also recently gotten involved in the dance groups on campus to give myself something to do and meet new people. Maybe there are some things in your town or a nearby town that you were be interested in doing and you could meet new friends that way?

I know how hard it is to meet new people, and I'll be having to do it again in 2 months when I move back to my old college town (now that all my friends there have moved).

:( I'm sorry you're going through this. It's just going to take time to adjust. My family moved 25 times when I was growing up and each time, the adjustment was difficult. It will get better. Just hang in there!!

Bronson is an hour east of Lufkin, 2 hours south of Tylor, and 1 hour north of Jasper. LOL We live in the middle of NO-WHERE. Our closest Wal-mart is an hour away. We have nothing out here.

I'm so sorry you feel so lonely. I feel the same way. We were originally from PA and moved to SC in '99. My dh passed away so I felt we would be better off coming back to PA where the rest of my family and friends were. WRONG. You can never go home is true because home never stays the same. Every one has moved on and we are not in the circle any more. Friends just say "Hi, how are you, sorry about what happened, see ya around". So, as soon as we can save up enough, we are headed back south. YT is my family now. Any time you feel like talking, PM me. I'd love to swap stories:) . Oh, and welcome! You will love it here.

I Know how you feel- kind of going through the same thing my self!
I'll Pm you!!!

Welcome to YT!!!!

Thankyou all.
 

My name is Stephanie. I am a stay at home mommy. Actually I spend more time out running kids around. LOL. I have 6 girls oldest 13 youngest 10 months. I have horses, chickens and I raise lionhead bunnies. I also have cats and several pups. Thankyou all for your kind words. I kind of was feeling sorry for myself and having my own pitty party.

You raise LIONHEADS!!!! They are the coolest looking bunnies EVER! I think someone else on here raises them... I forget who...

Does anyone else remember???

Stephanie,
Just wanted to send a hug your way! I completely understand how you feel. As soon as my hubby and I were married, we moved 3,000 miles away from anyone or anything I'd ever known. We've made some friends at our church, but its still very hard for me to not get down about being so far from everyone. I've never not been around people all the time and now I really only see my hubby and Xavier everyday... Its definitely very hard. Luckily, I came back home for a while because I couldn't stand being ALONE when my hubby left for Korea. Anyway...where in Kansas are you? I lived in Kansas City for a while and loved it! Have you ever heard of IHOP? Its a House of Prayer in KC...great place to meet with God and people! Hope you feel better soon. Knowing that Jesus is always with me is what gets me through somedays...
~Hugs~

Hi Stephanie,

Wow six daughters, you are so blessed girl, can't imagine how busy your life must be, and yes you certainly need a friend to lean on from time to time! I think that it is normal to have these feelings as I too left my small hometown in Illinois 16 years ago and moved to Oklahoma. This is home to my DH and after all these years I really can't say that I feel at home here and when I do go back to my hometown in Illinois, I really don't feel comfortable there either. I have always worked full-time and have been at the same company for 14 years now and consider my co-workers my family. I still get the negative vibes and rude comments from some now and then about the yankee thing but have pretty much gotten used to it and just try to consider the source. Your post brought tears to my eyes, know that people really do care and most that are on here are looking for the same friendships you are!
(((((((((HUGS)))))))))

Welcome
 

Hi Stephanie,
Welcome to YT. I am new here too, and I think you will find many nice people here. I have learned so much already too. The people are all so knowledgable. I too am a mostly stay at home mom, with only one child though!! Your kids must keep you really busy!! I truly admire & respect parents with bigger families!! I think that is wonderful. Well, welcome again and feel free to pm anytime!!!

Wow Stephanie you must be one busy hard working woman.
