I've just joined up on here for some advice. as my name suggests I'm lonely! I to have self-esteem problems, but if you got to meet me you would think everything was ok because I smile and make jokes, but inside im screaming for help. i have work friends but no close friends or family, (they all moved abroad) before i tear up. im here to ask if anyone knows any groups or support help around the manchester area UK, with people who will put up with me and break down my defenders without just nodding there head and walking away, never to be seen again.
I don't know if any groups in the UK but just know your not alone. I'm a 41 bi guy who has isolated himself to the point of never having a boy/girlfriend. I understand your frustrations and hope you find a good group
Hi, I myself isolated in moslem country and I am married with kids. I think you are easier to find gay group close to you and you are living in the US where gay is free. Please gather more information about gay in your town and join. I am face gay problem harder than you here but I enjoy it all finally. If I find someone to hookup and I have opportunity to do, I enjoy it. If I can't find anyone I am focus on my job and myself. Don't hesitate to joind quickly if you get gay group or gay people and enjoy it all bro. Regards from Indonesia.
Hi Toni, i know exactly how u feel and I live in Manchester , not far from u and also looking for similar friends! Are u female?
Not that I am trying to dissuade you from making friendships, EC is a great place for that but I just wanted to make sure you were aware that you aren't allowed to swap any contact details in the public areas of the forum. It is really tough when you are feeling lonely and isolated and then when you get opportunities to meet people they can make you super nervous. Stick around on EC I am sure you can make some friends.
@lonelytoni and @Bee lucky - given it's size, I would imagine that there must be some groups in Manchester! I live in a much smaller town in the south and have been able to find two or three active groups through some quick searches on the internet. Give that a go! I'm sure you'll find some friendly support/social groups!
There would be LGBT groups in your area, have a look on line. I joined some and now co run in my area. They really work and u make loads of new friends. It's like having another family for sure.
