SO, I'm very depressed; I need help finding friends.. anywhere?

i'm sorry for the accident you had, i have always been afraid of driving cars and i have a feeling that i will die in a car accident! well, still it is great that you survived...

it is not difficult to meet new people, but it is difficult and would take you long time to have real friends.

i believe you can meet people at the coiffeure, people there tend to talk. you also can go to events that occures in you city... i don't know where you live but there must be plays, forums, lectures and exhibitions, maybe galleries of painitings and such things... you can do something you enjoy and get to meet people who share the same interests as yours.

by the way, at the beginning you should not be selective... it is not necessary that everyone you meet will turn to be a real friend but you may get to know more and more people through their network of friends.

wish you all the best...

good luck

it's sad about your accident but you have to identify the reasons you need a friend. since 1988, do you want to tell me that you have not been able to really have a good and trusting friend?your general attitude towards life, your accident etc will determine if you will be able to make friends and keep them. do you feel as if the world owe you one for your accident?i am not trying to attack you but to help you look inwards. you are as happy as you want to be. do the people who come around you feel uncomfortable and guilty any time they are with you?i feel for you but you have not make up your mind to move on, to look past your accident. be thankful because you are alive because several have gone through accidents. then be happy. when you are happy, people will come to you naturally.

I encourage you to find a church of some religious denomination in your area. This would be the kind of environment that would help you the most I think. They have a lot of social activities, and also have special activities for singles. I hope things get better for you. God Bless.
