What am I doing wrong?

Please indulge me in a bit of a wanky moan here, internet pals.

Why the fuck is it so impossible to meet new pals??? Surely its not just me that this is happening to?

We are repeatedly told what to do. Reach out. Show interest. Make the first move, show interest. I do all of these things, maybe meet up for a wee walk/coffee a couple of times. Then….nothing. This happens all the time. Not reciprocated.

Start a new group? Ok, ill do that. Over 50 folk joined a local walking group I set up. Tried 4/5 times maybe to organise a small first walk. Not ONE person wanted to. Why join a walking group if you don’t want to do it?!

I am so fucking jaded with it all. It is so, so exhausting. People say all the time that they are lonely, or want to make new pals but when push comes to shove no one wants to put themselves out a wee bit, or make any consistant effort.

Honestly, where am I going wrong?
