I feel the friendship issue has had an affect on my general mental state, it is one of the reasons why I am here right now.
I have few very good friends and when I see others who go on holiday as groups and always interacting socially, i often feel very sad.
My wife is probably my best friend and she does not really like mixing too much with other people. She is very happy with just my company and especially her own company & it has led me to feel quite lonely.
I used to have some good friends when younger, but the natural drifting apart occurs.
I am available to be somebody's friend if anyone would have me (tears of sadness dribbling as we speak)
