And it doesn't help that we both work from home, so it's not like we are going to meet someone new that we work with. We have some really great friends, they just all live on the other side of the country. It does get lonely.

Im not sure ho...I want to be a kid again too, Ness.<br />Im not sure how to make new for real best friends. <br />I live in the same city I grew up in and have a few close friends from high school that we remained friends all this time, even when i went to school in another city. <br />At University I met some besties, for real forever friends.<br />As for new friends, I have a few teacher friends but not like talk about everything, anytime friends.

I find I have less friends than university, but because I have a full-time job, I have less time to socialize, so it works out OK. I agree that it's hard to make friends from work because you don't know if you can trust them, but I did meet one of my bridesmaids at work two years ago and we still work together and keep each other's secrets from the higher-ups. If you do join an activity to try to meet people, I would recommend being forward with them. Sometimes I just come right out and say "do you want to be friends?" and you both laugh, because it sounds like you're 5, but usually the other person feels the exact same way as you. That is how I've made my friends in Saint John, just by being honest and saying "Hey, I'm new here, let's be friends." With time, it will happen.

I have a boyfriend, I hang out with his friends in group/party settings, some work acquaintances that I say hi to in passing, and one other person I speak to on a regular basis. No friends. The last close friend I made was in 2006. She's the best friend you could ever ask for, but she's the last one. Maybe that's all you need. But she's still two hours away. All my friends are AT LEAST an hour away. Some are in different time zones, different countries. It's sad. I want to be a kid again.
