    Great advice you give help and hope to those that need to make that first step. Thank you for the encouragement we all need at times. To be excepted you have to except. It take two to make something really work. Listening to you has helped me realize that I have alienated myself for fear of being let down. No longer will I feel that way it is I that holds myself back not others. Being able to write these words down the way I have felt is my first step Thank you Schellea

    This is so me! I am a single mother of three grown children, and I literally don't have one "real life," friend! I work from home and I spend about 95% of my time ALONE!

    I just found your channel and want to say that I love your spirit and energy! I became an empty nester right around the time my mom (who was my best friend) passed away. I am naturally a shy person and have always had self esteem issues. Without my mom I felt isolated for the first time in my life. I was deeply grieving the loss of my mother while also coming to terms with my empty nest. I am blessed to have a few really true friends, but most no longer live near me or are still busy raising their families. I went to counseling and received much the same advice you have given here. I ended up starting a Meetup group for ladies over 50, and have made some wonderful friends through that avenue. I also joined a Bible study that led to more friendships. I met a new friend with the same fitness goals as me who I now exercise with a couple of times a week. My life gradually began to fill with people I have grown to love and care about. It didn’t happen overnight but with time and moving outside my comfort zone it DID happen! I am no longer afraid to take the lead in asking a new friend to meet for lunch or an outing. I think my mom would be proud of me.

    Thank you so much Schellea! You've offered some great advice/tips here. I live in Toronto, and at 57 years, I have lost connection with most of my friends. I have one good friend who lives in another city, and who is very strong, disciplined and has more energy than anyone I have ever known. One of my patterns, which I've been dealing with since I was a child, is that I compare myself for others. When faced with this, some people push harder to succeed and to be seen. I do the opposite, I shrink, quit and tell myself I am just not good enough. I've gone back to school, taking a copywriting/advertising program, which is online and all the other students are 22 and connecting with each other with great ease. I regret signing up for this program because I realize I am just not passionate enough to follow social media, and listen to advertising. I believe one has to be a certain kind of "animal' to get into the advertising world. I have gone through Menopause but in recent times have also noticed increased anger and sadness and have started to wonder if it is hormonal? I am trying a supplement called "Adrenal Chill," but with natural supplements, it may take quite some time to notice if I feel better. I have thought about trying to connect with others, but just don't know how? I am afraid I actually repel people because I either retreat, or think I have a very needy energy, and try too hard to be liked. A lose lose situation. Perhaps I can find a Meet up group here in Toronto? Yes, I've become very afraid to "get out there."

      Hi Rose. I'm 53 and returned back to school as well except I'm back for nursing. It's been my life goal to enter the medical profession and I finally can, now that my children are grown. I understand your retreating as I am guilty of that too. I get so enthralled with my courses that it takes my focus away from keeping up with friends. I live in the NYC area. Unfortunately too far for coffee but I'm available as a penpal.
      I also am in the midst of menopause. Not an easy time indeed. With raging (or lack of) hormones my emotions can be everywhere. I am happily married for 31 years and have an incredibly supportive husband but it is nice to share this with a girlfriend. If you need someone to talk/ write, and share life please connect. Stay well.

      @lola because dating isn't set in women's favor after the age of 30. After 40 is no man's land and at 50 generally most women are invisible to high value men. So you honestly have to adjust your standards or you will end up living alone with cats.

      sherilynschneider Have you heard of www.meetup.com? It's a website that focuses on matching people with similar interests. You list your hobbies & interests & it will generate emails to you, with local 'meet up' meetings in your area. (example: a knitting group may meet at Panera at noon on a particular Saturday) I just found out about it myself & am considering joining in on meetings.

      sherilynschneider It takes such a lot of effort and willpower to put yourself out there doesn’t it? And people are reluctant to make friends if they think you’ll be moving on again soon....it’s a bit different when you have children to help with the contacts. I found church helped a lot. Even if you don’t have a faith, they are usually very welcoming and supportive. Hope it turns round for you. I am the least mothering sort of mother, but the way I felt about the children leaving home really took me by surprise and that must be so magnified when you have to start again in a new place. ❤️

Having read some of the other comments here, I can see what a wonderful bunch of people are in this community, each sharing their thoughts and offering encouragement to others - it's fantastic! You are so right about the impact of social media but this is exactly where it can only do good! I'm getting ready to meet one of my brothers who has kindly given up one off his days off from work to take me out for lunch as an early celebration for my 56th birthday on Monday, bringing along our Mum too, which I'm really looking forward to!

    Seriously you just described me. I have four children 2 girls 18 and 16 who i have no contact with at all. None. Ive no idea where they live . Nothing. Its a long story. Ive suffered depression anxiety etc most of my life. I dont have 1 friend not 1. I tend not to get close to people. I was diagnosed with ptsd. Again long story. My son 26 is still at home in his own unit and ive got my 14 yr old daughter with me. I adore my children and no contact for over 2 years is beyond heartbreaking. Im nearly post penapause but still have hot flushes. I cannot go on hrt due to lupus. My fobl test came back positive so im praying its not cancer as it runs in my family. My mum died from bowel cancer 26 years ago. However i love you channel and find it very helpful. You are stunning. I hope my life improves over time. Im not enjoying being 50 at all. I was looking forward to it but ive lost most my family and have no friends so its not easy. I put on a very brave persona for my other children. Well keep up with this amazing channel. I love it 💖💖

    This is fabulous advice, Schellea! I’m just seeing this older video now. And I am exactly there!
    The good news, I started college classes last fall to finally get my degree. It’s fun engaging with the younger students. I also substitute at our local high school to stay in touch with the young folks. However I still feel isolated from my own peers. Im working on it, but it’s hard. With a teenager still at home, most of the moms of my son’s friends are 20 years younger. Most of the ladies my age have been empty nesters for at least a decade and in a different phase of life.

      Maybe it is not an outfit that you would wear, but personally, I would love to wear that top!!
      I suppose your mother never told you this, so I will: if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all! Also, when you follow a complement with a "but" statement, the later totally negates anything positive you had said before!

    I've been watching some of your earlier videos and this is so helpful. I never had kids and I've been divorced for a very long time. I have a huge family of animals and I foster kittens for the local shelter, so I'm not ever really alone. I an involved with a couple of local groups, like a garden club, and I have a lot of Facebook friends, but I just don't really take the time to cultivate human friendships. I've always been a loner and when I was young, my Mom used to force me to do social things like girl scouts and summer camp, but it was never really fun for me. I know it is unhealthy not to have close friends, so you have pushed me to set some goals. I love to hike, so I have signed up for a couple of local hikes and nature events. I need to get out of this "loner rut" and make some friends!! I posted the events on my FB page and I'll see if there is anybody who wants to do them with me, but if not, I'm going to go alone and probably meet some really nice people. Thank you!!

    Just before the lockdowns i rediscovered myself in spirituality. I joined a Biodanza Dance group Where it is all about connecting and feeling fullfilled. Highly recommanding. I also went on vacation on my own, something I never experienced or dared because I was so afraid of driving on the highway, but I drove to france alone to a spiritual camping and i didn’t feel alone at all because I was surrounded with like minded people and we Did workshops together and at night a camp fire and singing and dancing, I loved it!😀at home I continued going to Biodanza and tantra, and Made a lot of friends and had such a good time. I also joined a choir and learn to sing. All loved it so much. Than covid came and everything stopped very sudden, and I also had to move to another part of the country where things like this just don’t exist. Now I feel alone. My children are grown up, husband works a lot and I feel stuck in my new home.

Having a fear of rejection makes you the same as the rest of us but it is something you may want to overcome because the best way I know to meet people is to actually go out there and meet people. A ship docked in port is safe...but ships weren't built to be docked in port. I don't think you were built to be lonely. Wishing you all the best
